Abstract
Objective – to assess blood pressure indicators in children with acute obstructivebronchitis.Materials and methods. The paper presents the results of a survey of 68 childrenhospitalized for acute obstructive bronchitis. Patients were examined for clinical symptomsand severity of the clinical course according to the BSS-ped scale. BP parameters andechocardiography data were determined and compared with the results of a control groupof healthy individuals (20 children).Results. In patients, the severity of bronchitis clinical course on the fi rst day was average –according to the BSS scale – 7.79±0.19 points. BP indicators in patients were probablylower than in healthy children and had an inverse correlative dependence on the severityof the disease. Echocardiography showed a decrease in the end systolic and diastolicvolume of the left ventricle, a decrease of the pressure gradient in the mitral valve and itsincrease in the pulmonary valve.Conclusions. In acute obstructive bronchitis in children, changes in the activity of thecardiovascular system are observed due to a decrease in systemic blood pressure and anincrease of pressure in the pulmonary circulation system.
