Randomized Controlled TrialFluid therapy for severe acute pancreatitis in acute response stage.
Fluid therapy for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) should not only resolve deficiency of blood volume, but also prevent fluid sequestration in acute response stage. Up to date, there has not a strategy for fluid therapy dedicated to SAP. So, this study was aimed to investigate the effects of fluid therapy treatment on prognosis of SAP. ⋯ Controlled fluid resuscitation offers better prognosis in patients with severe volume deficit within 72 hours of SAP onset.
