Severity levels of intraoperative injury in patients with diffuse disseminated pulmonary syndrome

: Differential diagnosis of diseases manifested with lung diffuse dissemination syndrome is very difficult. Final diagnosis is possible only after pathologic examination of specimens taken during diagnostic surgical procedures. Results of open and videothoracoscopic lung biopsy at 107 patients are analyzed. Assessment of surgical trauma was based on respiratory function, neuroendocrine system response and doses of analgesics in postoperative period.
