Title: Changes of dynamics of the lymph production after the cannulation of the thoracic duct
Abstract: An adequate cannulation of the thoracic duct is always accompanied with appropriate dynamics of the lymph production. As a result, the daily output of lymph increases from 2.0 to 2.2 times during 4-5 days. To find out the reasons of the lymph production changes were examined 57 patients with acute purulent inflammatory diseases of abdominal and thoracic organs. It was determined that the lymph production change is conditioned by 2 factors: the first is the stopping of the flow into venous vessels via lympho-venous anastomosies of the thoracic duct, lymphatic trunks and large lymphatic vessels. It leads to a mobilization of the greater part of lymph in lymphatic vessels. The second is the speeding-up of lymph production.
