[Vascular component in the pathogenesis of lung failure in acute pancreatitis patients]

The blood circulation was studied in 61 patients with acute pancreatitis by the method of rheopulmonography. Considerable disorders were revealed both in the systemic hemodynamics and organic blood flow in the lungs during the development of pulmonary hypertension and venous congestion in the small blood circle. Positive influence of the infusion therapy upon the pulmonary blood flow is noted.
