MDT diagnosis and treatment for severe acute pancreatitis and patient management / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an acute severe disease with a high fatality rate. Initial doctor should accurately assess the disease severity and establish a multidisciplinary coordination and transfer plan. At the early stage, conservative medical treatment and organ support therapy are the main strategy. Minimally invasive intervention could be dominant in the management of complications such as infectious pancreatic necrosis, abdominal hemorrhage, gastrointestinal fistula and so on in the late course of the disease and surgical surgery could be administrated when necessary. During the recovery period, treatment of the etiologies, prevention of recurrence, local complications, and pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency also require multidisciplinary collaboration. Patient management of SAP through the whole course of the disease based on a multidisciplinary team is of great significance in increasing cure rate and improving quality of life.
