Medical manipulations

Thoracic paravertebral blockade.

Thoracic paravertebral block is a technique that involves the injection of local anesthetic into the area of the thoracic spinal nerves emerging from the intervertebral foramen with ipsilateral somatic and sympathetic nerves. The resulting anesthesia or analgesia is similar to a "unilateral" epidural anesthesia.

Cardiac resuscitation

Cardiac resuscitation has less favorable outcomes than pulmonary resuscitation, since when the heart stops, respiratory function also quickly ceases.

Pulmonary resuscitation

Pulmonary resuscitation at the pre-hospital stage is determined by the implementation of artificial ventilation of the lungs at the scene of the incident using the "mouth-to-mouth" method. The advantages of the method are: the possibility of application in any conditions; with the correct technique, sufficient gas exchange is ensured.

Classical hemodialysis

The term “classical” hemodialysis should be understood as intermittent (lasting no more than 3-4 hours) therapy, with a frequency of 3 times a week, using high blood flow rates (250-300 ml/min), dialysate (up to 30 l/h) and dialysis “dose” (Kt/V, at least more than 1).

Peritoneal dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis is a safe and relatively inexpensive method of renal replacement therapy. The first attempt to replace renal function using this method in a patient with acute renal failure was performed by Ganter in 1923.

Plasmapheresis and plasma exchange techniques

Therapeutic plasma exchange and plasmapheresis are effective methods of extracorporeal detoxification and recognized methods of treating toxin-related diseases.

Hemofiltration

Hemofiltration is based on the use of a highly permeable membrane in a hemofilter, which is connected to an artery and vein using modified hemodialysis lines.

Conicotomy

Cricothyrotomy (cricothyroidotomy) involves opening the cricothyroid membrane when tracheal intubation is impossible or there is obstruction in the larynx. The main advantages of this method are the simplicity of technical execution and the speed of execution (compared to tracheostomy).

Laparocentesis

Laparocentesis is used to obtain ascitic fluid for testing. Laparocentesis may also be used to remove tense ascites that is causing breathing difficulties or pain, or as a treatment for chronic ascites.

Tooth transplants

The loss of the permanent first molar on the lower jaw in children and adolescents leads to significant deformations of the dental arch and, as a consequence, the entire dental-maxillary system.
