[Status of hepatic blood flow in patients with tuberculosis during electroanesthesia and operations on the lungs]

The effect of different options of a combined electroanesthesia (CEA) and operation on the central hemodynamics (CHD) and regional liver blood flow (RLBF) in 59 pulmonary tuberculosis patients was investigated with rheographic and radioisotopic methods. It was found that the initial liver blood flow became lowered, and initial and general anaesthesia in every group was accompanied by a moderate drop of CHD, while RLBF varied differently. Though a central electroneurostimulation promoted the rise of LIBF, its intensity at the peak of a surgical trauma was decreased without neurovegetative protective means. The studies established the relationship between RLBF and the circulating blood volume level, the index of peripheral vascular resistance and the extent of anesthetic effect of CEA options. It is recommended to combine CEA with ganglionic or peridural block.
