As shown by the conducted studies, in patients with small bowel necrosis before surgery, a significant decrease in blood parameters such as platelets (on average by 21.1%), INR (on average by 73.3%), antithrombin (on average by 23.9%) was observed against the background of a decrease in blood pressure by an average of 37.9% and abdominal perfusion pressure by 7.4% (p < 0.01). At the same time, significant values were obtained for the parameters that were increased in small bowel necrosis before surgery: D-dimer (on average by 14.9%), fibrinogen (on average by 13.7%) and APTT (on average by 12.7%) (p < 0.01). D-dimer demonstrated good diagnostic performance (AUC  0,880) in thromboembolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, but its sensitivity and specificity varied in different ranges in different pathologies. In the group of patients examined by us, wide fluctuations in the I-FABP index were registered - from 199.8 to 2189.6 pg/ml. The analysis of the odds ratio and probability of predicting early mortality in patients before surgery showed that only one of the studied indicators was at the level of 80% and above, namely the SOFA scale (89.1%). When conducting regression analysis, we confirmed a good dependence of mortality in these patients on the development of multisystem disorders in the postoperative period: AUC = 0.814, 0.95% CI 0.728–0.896, with a sensitivity of 81.2% and a specificity of 74.6%. It was determined that the groups of patients who survived and did not survive had similar values for four main indicators when patients were admitted to the hospital: blood lactate level (81.3%), I-FABP (83.6%), abdominal perfusion level (82.0%), and the presence of criteria for abdominal sepsis (81.9%). The statistical significance of the obtained discriminant function for these indicators was assessed based on Wilks' Λ-statistic and was Λ = 0.626 at χ2 = 20.31 (p = 0.000). The algorithm for choosing the completion of the operation after resection of the small intestine with its necrosis according to the modified Paul-Mikulich method, which consists of the following prerequisites: the presence of unstable hemodynamics upon admission of patients to the hospital and the presence of abdominal sepsis are considered reliable risk factors that often lead to adverse outcomes. When emergency surgery with stable hemodynamics is associated with extended resections of the small intestine in weak patients with a very poor general condition, or during surgery for generalized peritonitis, restorative procedures may also be contraindicated during the first surgical intervention. To choose other tactical approaches, we relied on the following criteria: 1) in the absence of risk factors for failure and mortality before and during surgery for necrosis of the small intestine, resection of a segment of the small intestine with anastomosis of the “side-to-side” type was performed; 2) in case of unstable hemodynamics without peritonitis – resection of a segment of the small intestine without anastomosis+laparotomy and “second look” strategy after 48-72 hours; 3) in case of unstable hemodynamics with peritonitis – resection of a segment of the small intestine without anastomosis, NPWT with negative pressure and “second look” strategy after 48-72 hours. The developed diagnostic and treatment approach allowed to reduce the total proportion of patients with registered life-threatening complications of varying severity according to Clavien-Dindo in the form of single-organ or multisystem disorders (IVa and IVb stages) from 8.9% to 5.7% and from 6.5% to 2.9%, respectively, and the 30-day mortality from 17.1% to 9.5% (213,330, p0,010).
