The third part of this analysis deals with assessment of the efficacy of the reanimation service by reviewing the data on total and specific mortality rates, the results in critical patients, and correlation of these values to similar values in the hospital. Conclusions and resolutions on further improvement of the department activities are presented.

The second part of the research is devoted to problems of the personnel labor load, to maintenance of reanimation asepsis, to analysis of the complications of intensive care, the causes and outcomes of these complications. A total system approach allows, as the authors believe, an objective assessment of the prerequisites of complications in expert evaluations.

Using the suggested information mathematical model of reanimation activity, realized in an administrative computer program, the authors carry out a total system analysis of the activity of the intensive care and reanimation unit of a multi-discipline hospital in the town of Arkhangelsk. They discuss the problems of present-day equipment and modernization, formation of the patient populations, improvement of the resuscitation methods, and the policy of reanimation bed use. They recommend that along with the traditional activities, such department should take part in the prevention of grave states in inpatients of all departments of the hospital.
