Abstract
The clinical effect of early percutaneous ultrasound guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in treating severe acute pancreatitis complicated with acute fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity was analyzed. A total of 178 patients with severe acute pancreatitis complicated with acute fluid accumulation in peritoneal cavity admitted from January, 2011 to January, 2015 to Chuiyangliu Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the treatment, patients were divided into the following groups: PCD group and conservative treatment control group. Time-period of systemic inflammatory response (SIRS), time-period of abdominal pain, bowel sounds recovery time, dietary recovery time, hospitalization days, white blood cell count, serum amylase, C-reactive protein, serum calcium and complications in both groups were observed and compared. The measurement data between the two groups were presented as mean ± standard deviation (±sd), and analyzed by t-test. Classification data were analyzed by the Chi-square test, with p<0.05 indicating a statistically significant difference. Time-period of systemic inflammatory response (SIRS), time-period of abdominal pain, bowel sounds recovery time, dietary recovery time and hospitalization days were shorter in the PCD group than those in the control group (p=0.001). Improvements of white blood cell count, serum amylase, C-reactive protein and serum calcium were better than those of the control group (p<0.001), the rate of transferring to surgical department in the PCD group was lower than that of the control group (p=0.042), and complications of severe acute pancreatitis were not significantly different in the two groups (p>0.05). In this study, 6 adverse events occurred in the PCD group, accounting for 7.9% (6/76), including 1 case of puncture bleeding and 5 cases of obstruction. In conclusion, early ultrasound-guided PCD in treating severe acute pancreatitis is effective and safe.
