Clinical analysis of ARDS induced by severely acute pancreatitis
【Abstract】 Objective To study the clinical features and treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods A total of 67 patients diagnosed with SAP were enrolled in the study;patients were monitored for study arterial blood gas and chest-X- ray were examined within 24 hours after SAP.Results 23 patients among 67 patients of SAP developed ARDS (34.33%). The percentage of patients who developed ARDS with PaO2<60mmHg was above 60%.While the percentage of patients who developed ARDS with PaO2<32mmHg was about 90%. 50% of SAP patients appeared lung abnormalities by X-ray examination.Conclusion The respiratory function of SAP patients should be carefully observed so that we could find the development of ARDS in early stage.
