HEMODYNAMIC-CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH POST OPERATIVE VENTRAL HERNIA

Hemodynamic parameters have been analyzed in 68 inpatients with large postoperative ventral hernia. Most of the patients showed normodynamic circulation. The artifical rise of the intra-abdominal pressure in th e course of the preoperative preparation induced hypodynamic response of the cardiovascular system. Early after the surgery, the patients ha d hypodynamic circulation. As compared to induced abdominal hypertensi on, this hypodynamia was less pronounced indicating adapatation of the cardiac activity to peroperative hypertension. This is confirmed by t he absence of complications related to high intraabdominal pressure in early postoperative period.
