Filter by:The use of prophylactic antibiotics is beneficial in reducing the extrapancreatic infections and shorter hospital stay in patients of acute pancreatitis as compared to controls.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TongFuSan is effective in the treatment of acute pancreatitis with gastrointestinal dysfunction.
To determine if the timing of administration of indomethacin affects the primary outcome of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Patients undergoing ERCP will be randomly assigned to receive pre or post-procedure rectal indomethacin to prevent the occurrence of PEP.
Systemic Inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) is common in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in early stage. Continuous Blood Purification (CBP), especially Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration(CVVH) is proved to have an important role in SAP patients to control SIRS. But the detail treatment for this is controversial. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the different effects of three kinds of treatment protocols which is CVVH 6h,continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF) 6h,CVVH 10h for first three days in SAP patients. Compare the vital sign, SIRS parameters, and others between these three groups. This study will try to find a better way for CBP in patients with SAP
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) represent the most common and earliest organ dysfunction in acute pancreatitis, presenting as dyspnea and intractable hypoxemia, with secondary bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on radiograph. And mechanical ventilation (MV) is the essential intervention to improve oxygenation. When to initiate MV remains uncertain. In this study, we aim to compare the effect of early MV and conventional MV, and we hypothesize that early MV may be a better treatment option.
Around 20 per cent of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic or peripancreatic necrosis with or without peripancreatic collection. Percutaneous catheter drainage successfully drains the liquefied component of pancreatic necrosis while the solid component still remains undrained. This infected solid component of pancreatic necrosis is probably responsible for failure of percutaneous catheter drainage which demands surgical debridement. Streptokinase is a protein secreted by several species of streptococci which can bind and activate human plasminogen. In the present study investigators plan to instill streptokinase locally in to the collections of patients with severe acute pancreatitis via pigtail catheter inorder to liquefy the solid necrotic component and analyze whether it hastens the drainage and thereby delays or obviates the need for necrosectomy.
The purpose of this prospective randomised clinical trial is to compare beneficial and harmful effects of the use enteral nutrition versus a nil-by-mouth and intravenous fluid replacement principle of treatment in patients with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis (AP). The hypothesis: - enteral nutrition is no significantly better compared with the nil-by-mouth principle regarding mortality, incidence of local and systemic complications, length of hospital stay, and intensity of the inflammatory response in patients with moderate to severe AP - enteral nutrition has the same safety as nil-by-mouth principle in patients with moderate to severe AP
To quantitatively analyze the T2* values of the head, body, and tail of normal pancreas, and observe the value of GRE T2*-weighted MRI in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and the relationship between the T2* value and the severity of AP.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common diseases in routine clinical practice of surgeons and gastroenterologists throughout the world. The high rate of pain relapse after oral refeeding contributes to high consumption of healthcare resources and prolonged hospital stay in AP patients. The data from the pilot MIMOSA trial suggest that early administration of nasogastric tube feeding may prevent pain relapse after oral refeeding in AP. The potential beneficial effects of enteral tube feeding include induction of postprandial gastrointestinal motility and improving the tolerance of oral refeeding. This may reduce the risk of pain relapse, thereby shortening length of hospital stay and reducing cost of treatment. The primary endpoint of the ORION trial will be the incidence of oral food intolerance. All eligible AP patients will be randomly allocated to either the Early Nasogastric Tube (ENT) group or Conventional Nutritional Management group (CNM) at 24h of hospital admission.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is considered a disease requiring in-hospital treatment. We studied the feasibility of home management in AP.The aim of study was to compare 30 day readmission rates in patients with mild non-alcoholic acute pancreatitis (NAAP) randomized to home monitoring versus hospitalization.
