[Post-monitoring changes in zero drift of "Codman" intracranial pressure sensors].
The purpose of the study was to estimate the drift of the zero value of "Codman" intracranial pressure sensors, compared with the duration of monitoring, location of intracranial pressure sensors, and also to assess the relationship of drift to the gauge number. 60 "Codman" intracranial pressure sensors were investigated. The analysis of zero drift were made depending on the length of monitoring and location of the intracranial pressure sensor, as well as on description of the gauge number. Data are presented as median, quartiles, minimum and maximum values. ⋯ The maximum value of the drift of the zero value was 3 mm Hg. The dependence of drift on the duration of monitoring, reference values of the calibration and sensor implant site was absent. This shows the accuracy and reliability of parenchymal ICP measurement.

Review[Concept of mechanisms of anesthetic and therapeutic properties of xenon].
The molecular theory of L. Poling is a genius example of scientific prediction, made in the middle of 20th century, when the studies about clathrates and methods of roentgen structured analysis were doing their first steps. The views expressed in this message are some additions on the structure of xenon clathrates, function-free xenon water associates and the use of cameras in the liberated associates of the water molecules, for the process of supramolecular detoxification and attempts to develop this theory more widely, to better understand the mechanisms of xenon anesthesia and treatment for further justification of its therapeutic features as well as for the use of other inert gases (Ar, Kr) in modern medicine.

Review[Thrombophilia and principle of thrombosis prevention in obstetrics].
One of the major causes of maternity death are complications of venous thromboembolism (VT). Risk of their occurrence during pregnancy is 5 to 10 times higher comparing to non-pregnant women. Hereditary trombophilia and antiphospholipid syndrome increase the risk of complications of venous thromboembolism significantly. ⋯ The aggravating factor is the presence of certain limitations in administration of some medications for thrombosis prophylaxis during pregnancy. Issues of medical care in pregnant patients with thrombophilia, artificial heart valves or acute VT complications are highlighted in the article, as well as principles of thrombosis prophylaxis during cesarean section or in women with VT in anamnesis. Evidence based recommendations of the recent American College of Chest Physicians consensus conference are presented for each issue.

[First experience of using CoolGard system in intensive care patients after neurosurgical interventions: series of 10 observations].
Fever is a proven factor in secondary brain damage and worsens outcome in neuro intensive care patients. However, large randomized studies have shown neuroprotective effects of induced hypothermia only in patients with cardiac arrest and in neonates with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. Nevertheless, now there is an active search for alternative modes of temperature correction, which would have been effective in other groups of patients with brain damage. ⋯ Thus, the CoolGard system effectively lowers the body temperature to the target values for neuro intensive care patients. Application of this system is relatively safe. However, the most dangerous are the thromboembolic complications, thus the daily ultrasound scanning of lower limb veins and the possible early use of low molecular weight heparins is crucial.

Clinical Trial[High level thoracic epidural analgesia as a special component of anesthesia during thoracic surgeries].
This article is devoted to assessing the adequacy and safety of total intravenous anesthesia based on constant dosed infusion of propofol and high thoracic epidural analgesia in thoracic surgical procedures requiring an artificial one-lung ventilation in patients with concomitant chronic cardiorespiratory disorders compared to TIVA without a high thoracic epidural analgesia. Comparative analysis of gas exchange, metabolic rate, pressor, resistance and volumetric characteristics of pulmonary blood flow, central and intracardiac hemodynamics was conducted. We used high technology invasive monitoring system PICCOplus for transpulmonary thermodilution in combination with VoLEF for pulmonary thermodilution in changing modes of ventilation MV-MSL V-MV. MSL V lasted more than 1.5 hours.
