ABSTRACT
We present a case of acute pancreatitis during pregnancy, associated with hyperlipidemia. The patient, 23 years old in 36 g. w., was hospitalized at the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology with nausea, multiple vomitting, persistent abdominal pain and febrility. Because of the clinical apperance of acute pancreatitis Ceaserean Section was performed with subsequent revision of the abdominal cavity, necrectomy of the pancreas, laparostoma, lavage, drainage, nutritional yienostoma. Intubation with artificial pulmonary ventilation and high volume continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (HV CVVH) was performed because of the development of polyorgan insufficiency and ARDS. After the procedure the patient condition became stable. After four months of hospitalisation, she was discharged from hospital with stable vital signs.

We studied the local changes of blood gas indices of arterialised capillary blood taken simultaneously from the fractured and the uninjured arm of 30 patients with diaphyseal fractures of the forearm. Blood gases were measured with a Stat Profile 5 analyser (Nova Biomedical). The results indicate a slight but statistically significant decrease of the acid-base indices without any changes in the oxygen indices. These slight changes do not affect considerably the diagnosis of the profile.
