[Biochemistry in the formation of modern phthisiosurgery: its role and prospects]

The paper reviews the development of biochemical studies in phthisiosurgery, by comparing the needs of resuscitation and anesthetic provision of major thoracic operations and the management of the postoperative period. Emphasis is laid on the leading role of biochemical monitoring in the prevention and treatment of postoperative events, such as acute renal failure, metabolic alkalosis, thrombohemorrhagic syndrome, pulmonary thromboembolism, and others. The prospects of further researches dealing with the problems of postoperative pathophysiology are considered in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
