Systemic hemodynamics, oxygenating function of the lungs, and oxygen budgeting were studied in 32 patients with acute bowel obstruction (ABO) with severe endotoxicosis. Profound disturbances of systemic hemodynamics and blood oxygenation in the lungs underlie the hemostasis changes in this category of patients before and early after operation. These hemostasis changes lead to inadequate oxygen delivery and metabolic requirement of oxygen and are associated with development of oxygen deficiency in tissues. As a rule, patients with ABO with severe endotoxicosis develop acute respiratory failure presenting as adult respiratory distress syndrome on days 2-3 postoperation. Significant differences in the pattern of hemostasis changes and compensatory shifts in survivors and patients dying after ABO are detected at this period, which determine the prognosis and outcome of disease.

Treatment results of 301 patients with intraabdominal hypertension were analyzed. Indications for abdominal decompression were substantiated and defined. Algorythm, the novel surgical technique and instrumentarium for different decompressive surgery by peritonitis, acute intestinal obstruction and pancreonecrosis. The use of the algorithm allowed to decrease the postoperative complication rate. Thus, the laparotomic wound inflammation and necrosis was 24% less, eventration frequency was 4 times less and the acute respiratory failure was 43% less. The lethality rate fall from 20.9% to 11.5%.

Stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is transient left ventricular apical akinesis in the absence of angiographic evidence of corresponding obstructive coronary artery disease. A classic presentation is of chest pain following intense emotional or physical stress. Reports of stress-inducing triggers include acute respiratory failure, sudden death of a loved one, sympathomimetic drugs, pheochromocytoma crisis, diabetic ketoacidosis, and even earthquakes. We report three cases of intra-abdominal etiologies precipitating Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: two with small bowel obstruction, and one with Clostridium difficile colitis.
