Two variants of low-flow xenon (Xe) anesthesia was used in 150 patients operated on in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and vascular surgery; 116 patients received a combined endotracheal variant of Xe anesthesia and 34 patients received mask-type mono-narcosis. Limited possibilities of Russian-made apparatuses ("Polinarkon-2P") were shown in the process of minimizing the Xe consumption. An average Xe consumption reached, in a 2-hour anesthetic session, 42 l ($210). ⋯ When the endotracheal variant was in use, the Xe consumption was 15-16 l ($75-80) during 2 hours. When Xe was recycled by the desorption processor and fine cleaning at "Akela-N" Ltd. production facility, the cost of 2-hour anesthesia went down five-fold ($16-20). The article contains some recommendations made by authors to improve the method of low-flow Xe anesthesia as a method reducing the cost of Xe anesthesia in the routine medical practice.

Comparative Study[A comparative evaluation of "cerebral oximetry" during anesthesia with xenon and other anesthetics].
The oxygen status dynamics during the general anesthesia is one of the most important issues of anesthetic monitoring. The set target was to study the cerebral oximetry (rSO2) in anesthesia with xenon as compared with other anesthetics. A total of 80 patients (class ASA I-II) were examined in the venectomy surgery. ⋯ Xenon and ftorotan were shown to contribute to a higher oxygen status and an increased volume of the cerebral blood circulation. In case of xenon mono-anesthesia, there was a smaller increase in the cerebral blood circulation as compared to N2O + ftoratan anesthesia. Further special investigations are needed to give a final answer to the question on whether it is possible to use xenon in neuroanesthesiology and in intensive care of patients with a neuroresuscitation-type pathology of the brain.

The article deals with diagnosis and treatment of fat embolism concomitant with trauma. A new term is suggested, i.e. liqoroglobulism, which is concomitant with the cerebral form of fat embolism. ⋯ A new method is suggested for the treatment of fat embolism, i.e. a combination of hemosorption and liquosorption. A thesis on that the blood-brain barrier is damaged in the cerebral form of fat embolism is formulated.

[Correction of arterial hypoxemia during early postoperative period].
The article is dedicated to investigating the reasons of development of hypoxemia during the early postoperative period when the patient is switched to an unassisted air breathing. It was established that hypoxemia develops, after abdominal operations with a multi-component total anesthesia, in 68% of patients, although there is a recovery of adequate ventilation of the lungs, and it is related with an insufficient anesthesia, which results in an increased volume of expiratory closure. Epidural anesthesia prevents an increase in the closure volume and development of hypoxemia.
