Abstract

Objective: To investigate the medical treatment methods, efficacy and progress of acute severe pancreatitis. Methods: 60 patients of acute severe pancreatitis in our hospital was selected from October 2007 to December 2007. They were divided into two groups namely, the observation group and control group. The control group was treated by routine western medicine treatment with metronidazole, whereas the observation group received the combined treatment of conventional western medicine with paeonol, rhubarb and other Chinese medicine. After the medical treatment was found to be ineffective, the patients then underwent for surgery. Both groups were observed and compared in terms of the cure rate, death rate, symptom relief time, fever duration, recovery time of intestinal peristalsis and hospitalization. Result: The cure rate, symptom relief time and hospitalization time were significantly different between the two groups, with the observation group was significantly better than the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The usage of metronidazole, Cortex Moutan, rhubarb and other traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) revealed good clinical efficacy, which is worth to be fostered in clinical application.
