[The evaluation of the external respiratory function in patients in late follow-up period after pneumonectomy].

: The external respiration function (ERF) indexes were studied in 215 patients in 25-40 years after performance of pneumonectomy. In 55.3% patients ventilation indexes have exceeded the due values by 50% for two lungs, in 8.4%--significant disorders of the ERF indexes were noted in connection with an early and late complications occurrence and with presence of specific and metaphthisic changes in a single lung as well.
