Abstract:
With the unremitting efforts of researchers for the past 40 years, the survival of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) has been improved to 86%. Patients with SAP, although had been given fluid resuscitation and formal non-operative therapy in 72 hours after the onset, still progress to organ dysfunction can be diagnosed with fulminant acute pancreatitis (FAP). The treatment methods for FAP include sufficient fluid resuscitation, formal non-operative therapy and removing etiological factors. If patients have the tendency toward deterioration of organ function or incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), creating conditions for early surgical drainage is essential, and the surgical procedure should be as simple as possible. The survival rate of patients with FAP is still unsatisfactory, and the advanced age, high scores of acute physiology and chronic health enquiry ( APACHE Ⅱ ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and Balthazar, and the incidence of ACS are the indicators for a poor prognosis of patients with FAP.
