Complex examination of hemodynamics was performed in 26 patients with cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension after operation of peritoneoatrial shunt using the methods of integral rheography, probing of heart cavities and pulmonary artery. Clinical results of the operations were analyzed. A conclusion was made of the absence of substantial alterations of gas exchange and hemodynamics of the lesser circulation. The alteration of the colloido-oncotic properties of blood are thought to be the leading factor in pathogenesis of the appearance of postoperative cardiopulmonary complications.
