Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Effects of anesthetics on oxidative stress changes in patients with high anesthetic risk in the perioperative period of coronary bypass surgery].
The study included 44 patients who were divided into 3 groups according to the type of anesthesia. In group 1 patients (n = 15), initial anesthesia was accomplished by inhaled sevoflurane and intravenous fentanyl (2.5-3.5 microg/kg); basal anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane. In Group 2, midazolam, 0.1-0.15 mg/kg, fentanyl, 5.2 +/- 0.01 vg/kg, and ketamine, 0.85 +/- 0.13 mg/kg were given for induction. ⋯ Basic anesthesia was effected with fentanyl, 5.31 +/- 0.5 microg/kg/hour, ketamine, and diprivan. Anesthetic management using halogen-containing inhalational anesthetics at coronary bypass surgery in patients at high anesthetic risk was ascertained to cause a significant reduction in the degree of manifestations of oxidative stress and facilitated a better intraoperative period. Sevorane was found to have the most significant effect on oxidative stress.

Case Reports[Treatment of life-threatening airway obstruction in patients with malignant lymphomas].
Case histories of patients with hemoblastosis admitted to a hospital for acute respiratory failure due to tumor-induced obstruction were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of obstruction, antitumor therapy, methods for provision of airway patency, and major critical syndromes were analyzed. Ten patients with life-threatening tumor-induced airway obstruction were hospitalized from 1995 to 2007. ⋯ Tracheostomy is not indicated in most cases. Short-term prognosis is good in this cohort of patients. Long-term prognosis is determined by a lot of factors of which tumor sensitivity to cytostatics and radiation is most important.

Comparative Study[Evaluation of the efficiency of using two different visual scales for quantitative measurement of acute pain].
The paper provides quantitative assessment of acute pain during the standard blood sampling procedure. The estimates of the impact of sex and age on the level of pain sensation were determined using two different visual scales in the evaluation of pain.

[Topical aspects of standardization in anesthesiology and intensive care].
Implementation of standards and practice protocols is one of the most challenging problems of anesthesiology and intensive care. Several important issues regarding the process of standards development, their structure, goals, and targets, anticipated results and benefits, as well as clinical and theoretical limitations are discussed. The situation associated with the standardization at the national level is presented with parallel highlighting of future perspectives.
