The state of regional hemodynamics (the brain, liver, lower limbs) and separate ventilation of the lung was studied reographically in 219 patients, in 101 of them after gastric resection for ulcerous disease and in 118 healthy persons. It was found that vitally important organs (the brain, liver, lungs) after gastric resection are adequately supplied with blood, in younger patients peripheral compensatory mechanisms playing the most important role. In aged and senile patients the function of peripheral compensatory mechanisms was markedly reduced.
