Effects of large-volume versus restrictive-volume fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of large-volume versus restrictive fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods:A total of 102 patients with severe acute pancreatitis who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Hefei, China between March 2018 and December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo large-volume fluid resuscitation (control group, n = 51) or restrictive-volume fluid resuscitation (study group, n = 51). Hemodynamic indexes, intra-abdominal pressure and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups before and after resuscitation. All patients were followed up for 28 days after admission and their prognosis was recorded. Results:At 12 and 24 hours of resuscitation, intrathoracic blood volume index, global end-diastolic volume index, cardiac index, and central venous pressure in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). At 6 hours of resuscitation, cardiac index and central venous pressure in the study group were (4.87 ± 0.48) and (11.04 ± 2.08), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(4.53 ± 0.57), (9.48 ± 1.67), t = 3.25, 4.17, both P < 0.05). Before resuscitation, there was no significant difference in intra-abdominal pressure between the two groups ( P > 0.05). After resuscitation, intra-abdominal pressure in each group was significantly lower compared with that before resuscitation (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, intra-abdominal pressure in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(12.78 ± 2.35) cmH 2O vs. (15.01 ± 2.42) cmH 2O, t = 4.72, P < 0.05). Before resuscitation, there were no significant differences in PaO 2 and oxygenation index between two groups (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, PaO 2 and oxygenation index in each group were significantly higher compared with those before resuscitation (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, PaO 2 and oxygenation index in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 3.02, 5.55, both P < 0.05). The incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome and the incidence of invasive mechanical ventilation in the study group were 27.45% (14/51) and 35.29% (18/51), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [47.06% (24/51), 56.86% (29/51), χ 2 = 4.19, 4.77, both P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, acute renal injury, abdominal drainage rate, mortality between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Compared with large-volume fluid resuscitation, restrictive-volume fluid resuscitation can better improve hemodynamic indexes and pulmonary function, greatly decrease intra-abdominal pressure, and improve prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
