IMBALANCE
CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT
• Foccussed on supportive care
• Pain management
• Correction of hypoivolemia using saline and colloids
• Continuous NG aspiration
• Keep the patient NPO
• Decreased Stimulation of pancreas
• Avoidance of alcohol or other percipitating factor
• Oxygen for hypoxic patients
PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY
• Done in case
• Abscess
• Severe Peritonitis
• Acute pseudocyst
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
“Rest the pancreas” by avoiding enteral nutrition is no longer acceptable
There are evidences for nutritional support in acute pancreatitis
Enteral nutrition should be commenced after initial fluid resuscitation and
• within the first 24 hrs of admission
Can be introduced through NG tube and increased in stepwise fashion in 2-
3 days
Delay in commencing enteral nutrition may contribute to the development
• of intestinal ileus and feeding intolerance
COMPLICATION
NURSING ASSESSMENT
• Past health history
• Medications
• Surgery or other treatment
• Vital monitoring
• Objective symptoms of the disease
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Acute pain related to inflammatory process at pancreas and surrounding tissues
