    Abstract:
    A number of requirements, tendencies and trends in the building of health establishments are given in brief, as well as their location in the settlement. The complex of intrahospital factors is pointed out, which appear with slight intensity, but have a constant influence on the patients. In two cardiological wards a complex study of the patients' environment is performed. The study includes the microclimate in the hospital rooms, the physiological state of the patients according to some basic criteria indices, the indoor air with its chemical and bacteriological pollution. The quality of the environment do not respond to the hygienic requirements. There is a considerable impairment of the microclimate parameters and the chemical status of the indoor air and in individual cases, to a slight degree those of the bacteriological status. The air temperature in the hospital rooms for patients with cardio-vascular diseases is standardized. Specific recommendations are given for the new hospital building and the investigation of the intrahospital environment.
