    Author: Gorelov FI, Khob'ko EI.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1987 Jun; 138(6):125-9. PubMed ID: 3672773.
    Abstract:
    Treatment and analysis of immediate results were described in 269 patients with chronic empyema of the pleura as well as their long-term results in 207 of them. Under consideration were main criteria of the examination of labor capacity in such patients. It was shown that the establishment of the phase of "compensation at the limit" (IIa degree of pulmonary insufficiency) and subcompensation (IIb degree of pulmonary insufficiency) allowed more exact evaluation of the degree of compensatory processes of respiratory organs in patients after operation and the degree of loss of their working capacity.
