[Hemodynamic disorders and their correction in the newborn following abdominal surgery]

Central hemodynamics was studied, using echocardiography and dopplercardiometry in 48 newborn operated on the abdominal organs. General regularities of hemodynamic changes in the first postoperative hours irrespective of the initial type of circulation have been established. Two types of cardiovascular system response to the operation stress are described; an increase and a drop in the cardiac output, which is extremely important for the diagnosis of impaired compensatory-adaptive mechanisms in the newborn. Special attention was paid to the assessment of the adequacy of the infusion therapy. Volume-load test facilitates the diagnosis of latent heart failure. Timely prescription of cardiotonic drugs and differential approach to infusion therapy prevent the onset of circulatory disturbances.
