Clinical Manifestations

  • Acute abdominal pain, usually epigastric, sometimes radiating to the back
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Fevers
  • Dyspnea

Management

Pancreatic necrosis

  • Two forms
    • Acute necrotizing pancreatitis, which is present at the start, and is usually phlegmonous
    • Walled-off necrosis, which develops over the course of illness, and is usually an organized collection
  • Both are sterile and both can become infected
  • No antibiotics warranted in acute necrotizing pancreatitis
  • Infection usually develops after about 10 days
  • If necrosectomy is indicated, it should be delayed by at least 4 weeks

Splenic vein thrombosis

  • Monitor

Prognosis

Ranson's criteria

  • On presentation
    • Sugar > 10
    • WBC > 16k
    • Elderly > 55 years
    • LDH > 350
    • AST > 250
  • After 48h
    • Hct drop >10% from admission
    • BUN increase >5 mg/dL (>1.79 mmol/L) from admission
    • Ca <8 mg/dL (<2 mmol/L) within 48 hours
    • Arterial pO2 <60 mmHg within 48 hours
    • Base deficit (24 - HCO3) >4 mg/dL within 48 hours
    • Fluid needs > 6L within 48 hours

BISAP

  • BUN > 8.9
  • Impaired LOC
  • SIRS
  • Age > 60
  • Pleural effusion
