Acute Pancreatitis
ARDS
Pancreatitis (DiPiro)
Epidemiology
• Is the 3rd most common GI disorder
• Leading cause of inpatient care with an incidence of 3 to 30 cases per
100,000 and rising
• > 275,000 patients hospitalized annually
• Overall fatality = 5% *increases with severity
• African Americans have 2 to 3 times higher risks than Caucasicans
• Increased hospitalization cost of >$2.6 billion per year
Pancreatitis (DiPiro)
Pathophysiology:
Etiology
Diagnostic Laboratory Parameters
Common symptoms:
• Abdominal pain 1. Serum amylase and lipase
• Nausea 2. C-reactive Protein level ≥ 150 mg/l = severe AP
• Vomiting 3. Hematocrit > 44% = independent risk factor of
necrosis
Common causes: 4. Urea > 20 mg/dl = independent predictor of
• Gallstones and alcohol (80%) mortality
• Medications 5. Procalcitonin = most sensitive; predictor of
• Pancreatic solid and cystic malignancies infected necrosis
• Hypertriglyceridemia

Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury
Treatment*
• Main goal is to restore renal function to pre-AKI baseline
• No specific treatment that can reverse AKI
• Supportive measures
o Hemodynamic support (maintenance of renal perfusion)
Fluids and/or vasopressors
o Fluid balance
Crystalloids
o Acid-base balance
o Electrolyte homeostasis
Potassium
Sodium
• Initiate RRT when life-threatening changes in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base
balance exist (Intermittent hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement)

Guideline Recommendation: Pancreatitis
● For infected necrosis antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for severe AP (2A)
● Procalcitonin levels may be valuable predicting the risk for infected pancreatic necrosis (1B)
● CT-guided fine-needle aspiration for gram stain and culture can better confirm infection and drive
the therapy (1B
● Continuous vital signs monitor is recommended in all patients
● Early fluid replacement with isotonic crystalloids are preferred
● Fluid volume should be adjusted based on age, weight, renal or heart conditions
o Volemia monitoring & adequate tissue perfusion to be monitored with labs
● Pain control is highly recommended
● Mechanical Ventilation if ineffective oxygen supply is recommended
● Enteral nutrition over parenteral is recommended
Assessment Critique
● For patients with AKI, current guidelines recommend isotonic crystalloids as initial management for
expansion of extravascular volume (30ml/kg NSS or Lactated Ringer)
● Vasopressor are recommended along with fluid if hypotension does not resolve
● Avoid nephrotoxic drugs/agents:
o Amphotericin B
o Cisplatin
o IV contrast
o Aminoglycosides
• Renal replacement therapy in patients with fluids, electrolytes and/or acid/base imbalance
o Intermittent hemodialysis
o Continuous renal replacement

AKI Evaluation Therapy
Assessment Critique
AKI AKI
Guideline Recommendation: ARDS
● ARDS
ARDS Guideline
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs)
They are not used as a first line treatment the patient must be under
analgesia and deep sedation before administration.
Rocuronium
The most common NMBAs are:
Cisatracurium
• Before administering an NMBA the patient
should receive analgesia and sedative
medication.
• The goal of analgesia/sedation
management is to provide comfort and
safety.
Analgesia and • Opioids are recommended for pain relief, at
Sedation the lowest effective dose in critically ill
patients.
• Commonly use opioids in critically ill
patients are:
• Fentanyl
• Morphine
• Hydromorphone
Analgesia and Sedation
• The use of sedatives is indicated for anxious and agitated patients when
pain has already been treated.
• The Richmond Agitation Sedation Sedation Scale (RASS) is used to assess
the level of sedation needed.
• Guidelines recommend for sedation
NMBA discontinuation
Patients on NMBA should
should be considered at least
receive lubricating eye drops as
daily.
they are at risk of corneal
abrasions.
ARDS Evaluation Therapy
Assessment Critique
Patient initiated sedative therapy with propofol, this Analgesia treatment should have been started
agent cause hypertriglyceridemia (lipid emulsion). prior to sedation and NMBA.
