METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF THROMBOEMBOLIC COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS SUFFERING PULMONARY DISEASES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention represents a method for predicting thromboembolic complications accompanying surgical management in the patients suffering oncologic pulmonary diseases; the method is characterised by the fact that performing a pulmonary surgery involves ligaturing vessels of an involved lung is preceded by approaching its afferent and efferent vessels followed by blood sampling from each vessel and venous blood sampling from a peripheral vein; after the surgery, free heparin is measured in each sample. Thereafter, the parameter K is calculated as the arithmetic mean free heparin content in the afferent vessel of the involved lung and in the venous blood from the peripheral vein; the calculated parameter K is compared to the quantitative free heparin content P; if K is less than P by 25% or less, a high risk of the postoperative thromboembolic complications is predicted, whereas K being less than P by more than 25%, a low risk of the postoperative thromboembolic complications is predicted.

EFFECT: higher accuracy and objectivity of the early postoperative results.
