SOME ASPECTS OF INFUSION THERAPY FOR SURGICAL PATIENTS DEPENDING ON BIOLOGICAL AGE

Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate the differences in the volume of infusion therapy taking into consideration patients’ passport and biological age. Materials and methods. Biological age of 110 surgical patients treated at the City Clinical Hospital № 8 was determined using A.G. Gorelkin, B.B. Pinkhasov method. The method is based on the calculation of the equation, assessing correlation between the constitution markers and the age. The main parameters, required for the calculation are the following: body mass (kg), height when standing (m), waist and femur circumference (cm). It is also necessary to know patient ‘s chronological age to 0,1 year. Results. Biological age of surgical patients in 45,9 % of cases appeared to be higher than the chronological one. Thus, infusion therapy in the pre-, intra- and postoperative periods as well as daily liquid requirement of the body should be determined taking into account an individual BA. Conclusions. It is necessary to estimate BA for administration of an adequate volume of infusion therapy in different periods of patient’s management, and further, for choosing surgical technique and assessing resuscitation risk. It will heighten the quality of the conducted treatment and reduce the recovery period.
