[Use of position tests for detecting oxygen status disorders and correction of them in patients with severe blunt chest injury].

Abstract

Relationship between alteration of body position and parameters of central hemodynamics and oxygen status were studied in patients with severe blunt chest injury. Use of position tests in this patient population helped detect disorders in the central hemodynamics, oxygen transport and consumption. Argument increase of volumetric loading promoted an increase in oxygen delivery.
