Journal of Gastroenterology, 10/02/09
Pan W et al. – Patients with SAP and a CTSI < 8.0 could be treated with conservative therapy, while patients with a CTSI > 8.0 should be treated with surgery or PCD therapy if the life–threatening complications of extensive fluid collection or necrosis are a factor. However, PCD therapy used in a timely manner for drainage may decrease mortality in patients with SAP, decrease inflammatory mediator release, and avoid incidence of severe sepsis or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and emergency surgery.
