Hemorrhagic pancreatitis
Hemorrhagic pancreatitis - sudden acute inflammation of the pancreas at the time of active digestion.
To such a sharp phenomenon, excessive overeating in a mixture with the acceptance of alcoholic beverages can result. An attack is developing against the background of the organ that has already failed, the gastrointestinal tract, the inflamed pancreas.
Incorrect food intake, consumption of excessively fatty or fried foods for a long period of time can lead to malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. As a consequence, there is a difficult work of the gland to produce the necessary enzymes.
The initial disruption of the pancreas can be caused by :
- Dysfunction of the diet( consumption of fried, spicy, fatty, sour food in large quantities and too large breaks between meals);
- Frequent food poisoning;
- Severe trauma to the abdomen or back in the lumbar region( stroke);
- Congenital malformations of the digestive system;
- Cystic fibrosis;
- Reduced thyroid function;
- Lupus;
- Negative reaction to any virus in the body;
- Allergic reactions of various origins;Excessive use of medicines.
- .
The hemorrhagic form of pancreatitis is accompanied by the death of pancreatic tissue within the first 24 hours. Therefore, the inaction of doctors and the patient during this period aggravate the situation.
As a rule, the attack develops quite rapidly. And here the absence of emergency care can lead to a fatal outcome of the patient.
Clinical picture
Patients caught in captivity of an acute attack of hemorrhagic pancreatitis experience a shock state due to acute pain syndrome immediately after ingestion. This is the main symptom that characterizes hemorrhagic pancreatitis. If you do not take it into account, then the disease can be confused with the perforation of peptic ulcer or gangrenous cholecystitis.
As well as the main symptoms of hemorrhagic pancreatitis, can be classified as:
- Sharp acute pain in the pancreas region that gives to the lumbar region;
- Failures in the operation of the intestine or its absolute obstruction;
- A barely perceptible thread-like pulse;
- Ash-gray color of the skin;
- Incomplete confused consciousness;
- Elevated levels of leukocytes and red blood cells in the blood;
- The strongest intoxication of the body due to decomposition of the pancreas.
Most often for the removal of pain as first aid, the doctor can prescribe intramuscular or intravenous injection of potent analgesics: morphine, novocaine and their derivatives.
Surgical treatment
As a rule, the treatment of hemorrhagic pancreatitis is based only on surgical intervention. And the sooner it takes place, the greater the chance of rescuing the patient. About folk remedies or conservative interference with the diagnosis of "hemorrhagic pancreatitis" is out of the question. Do not even try!
Surgical treatment of the disease involves the removal of the dead part of the pancreas( infected effusion), the drainage of the organ of the affected organ of the gastrointestinal tract and the subsequent long reception of the course of antibiotics.
If necessary, the patient is given a transfusion of donor blood.
Subject to compliance with all prescribed by the doctor prescriptions and a long rehabilitation period, the patient will be able to continue his usual life, naturally, following a strict diet.
In case the attack of hemorrhagic pancreatitis is started, even surgical intervention to the patient will not help. Here, experts prescribe only strong painkillers to somehow alleviate the condition of the patient and maintain his general condition. In this case, unfortunately, the lethal outcome is inevitable.
And remember, it is always much easier to prevent disease, leading a healthy lifestyle, adhering to the principles of healthy eating, than to subsequently resort to emergency medical professionals.
Take care of your health and your life!
