Experimental study of changes in central lymph flow dynamics in closed chest injury (CCI) showed that the lymphatic system responds mainly by increasing the rate of lymph escape. Progressive diminution of the lymph flow in encountered only in the cardial type of CCI. In the hemorrhagic form of CCI the lymph flow increased in the first minutes after the trauma in half of the cases and then reduced (below the initial values). Increase of the resorption-transport function of the lymphatic system in CCI is considered as a compensatory-adaptational mechanism directed at maintaining interstitial homeostasis. Reduction of the rate of lymph flow in the cardial and hemorrhagic forms of CCI is likely to suggest the development of insufficiency of lymph flow dynamics. A correlation analysis revealed a relationship of the rate of lymph flow to the central hemodynamic and external respiratory parameters.
