[Choice of surgical approach for embolectomy of an artery of the upper extremity].
According to the authors' observations 236 patients with embolism of major arteries of the upper extremities were treated: conservative therapy-in 43, surgery-in 193. Since 1972 in the clinic a unique access in the ulnar fossa with exposure of the brachial artery bifurcation has beem employed for embolectomy from any artery of the upper extemity. A direct access is used only if the necessity of simultaneous correction of the affection leading to embolism (proximally located aneurysms, jugular ribs) might arise.

[Hypothermia during general anesthesia and methods of its prevention].
In the article great attention is paid to prophylaxis of hypothermal disturbances in heat exchange during the process of general anesthesia, it comprises the use of complex methods of protection against hypothermia. It is the authors' opinion that the state of thermal balance should be followed as carefully during general anesthesia as hemostatic indices, since normothermia improved considerably the clinical course of narcosis and postoperative period, as well.
