[Experience with using autologous transfusion of ultraviolet- irradiated blood]

Autotransfusion of ultraviolet irradiated blood (TUVIB) has been included into the complex of treatment of 96 elderly and senile patients with fractures of the proximal end of the proximal end of the femur. The MD-73M apparatus has been used. The values of central hemodynamics, the threshold of tactile and pain sensitivity, the immune status and the coagulative system of blood have been studied. A high efficacy of TUVIB in this group of the patients has been pointed out, and a conclusion has been made about the necessity of individual choice of the doses of ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood on the basis of adaptive reaction of calm activation. The side effects and the complications in performing TUVIB, the ways of their prevention and treatment have been considered.
