Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether TongFuSan is effective in the treatment of acute pancreatitis with gastrointestinal dysfunction.
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.
Our animal studies found that continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI in the celiac trunk) of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) could alleviate inflammation, improve global hemodynamics and restore organ function in a porcine model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP,unpublished). In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of CRAI of LMWH in the treatment of SAP patients. The investigators suppose CRAI could help improve the outcomes of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect and safety of early high-volume continuous veno-venous hemofiltration for patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
Acute fluid collections is common in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). But the treatment for this is controversial. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the different effects of three different treatment protocols which is repeated aspiration, continuous catheter drainage and conservative treatment. The investigators suppose repeated aspiration could not only solve acute fluid collections, but also lower the rate of pancreatic infection.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the beneficial effects of the administration of enteral nutrition product with milk proteins, monounsaturated fatty acids and low dextrose equivalent maltodextrin and enriched in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT) in patients with mild acute pancreatitis. All this against other specific product. The main objectives of this project are: - Comparing the tolerance of both preparations. - Comparing the evolution of nutritional status in both groups. - Comparing the evolution of inflammatory parameters in both groups
Acute pancreatitis is the most frequent (5-10%) and severe complication after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), that could require of surgical intervention and lead to death. A double- blind study designed to evaluate if the treatment with somatostatin in intravenous bolus before starting the ERCP procedure followed by a continuous infusion for 4 hours after endoscopic proof could prevent acute post-ERCP pancreatitis. Patients submitted to ERCP will be randomized in two groups of treatment, one will receive somatostatin and another placebo. The main aim of this study will be the incidence of acute post-ERCP pancreatitis and secondary objectives will be identify sub-groups of patient with high risk to develop post-ERCP pancreatitis, who could benefit of pharmacologic prophylaxis before the exploration. The study will include 510 patients submitted to an ERCP during a period of 3 years.
Decompressive laparotomy with temporary abdominal closure, will decrease of overall mortality and major morbidity in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome during acute pancreatitis in comparison with percutaneous puncture with placement of abdominal catheter.
The study aims to evaluate the course of patients with acute pancreatitis. Thereby we analyze different diagnostics and compare ultrasound, MRI and CT-scan in detection of necrotic areas and evaluate interventional therapy methods like percutaneous drainage techniques regarding the outcome. Laboratory values were assessed as well.
