Introduction
Acute pancreatitis remains a complex, progressive, and
variable acute inflammatory syndrome of the pancreas.
In some cases, the inflammatory response is so severe
that a sequence of systemic inflammation defined by the
systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), capillary leak syndrome (CLS), multiorgan dysfunction,
shock, and death may occur. Patients with life- threatening
complications should be managed in the intensive care
unit (ICU), where early intervention and support may
result in better outcomes. This chapter will focus on
management following a general clinical pathway to
emphasize the sequence of common events and evidence
behind clinical decisions.
Pre- ICU Management
Optimal treatment begins in the clinic or emergency
department (Fig.25.1). The primary goals in early evaluation include confirming the diagnosis, detecting early
signs of organ dysfunction, and initiating fluid resuscitation. Fluid resuscitation (see Chapter 26) may be the
most important early intervention for stabilizing and
treating patients with evolving severe acute pancreatitis.
The initial physical examination is central to assessment and proper triage. The clinical histories are variable, but sudden onset of severe, sharp, unrelenting pain
with nausea and vomiting is common. In addition to a
routine physical examination the clinician should focus
on early signs of severe acute pancreatitis, including
severe pain, anxiety, confusion, scleral icterus, diaphoresis, dry mouth, tachycardia, thready pulses,
acrocyanosis,
tachypnea, lung rales, and abdominal tenderness with or
without rebound pain. Postural changes (e.g., supine to
standing) resulting in dizziness or tachycardia suggest
significant intravascular hypovolemia.
The initial laboratory assessment should include
standard diagnostic tests in addition to standard laboratory tests (Box25.1). These tests serve both as baseline
values for future comparisons and early biomarkers of
organ dysfunction that may require ICU management. A
chest X-
ray may provide early evidence of pulmonary
edema and/or plural effusions[1].
Early morbidity and mortality are heralded by SIRS, as
it often leads to endothelial stress[2], CLS[3] and organ
dysfunction involving the lungs, cardiovascular system,
intestines, and kidneys, and damage to the pancreas[4–7].
Early management focuses on fluid resuscitation and
oxygenation. Patient comfort centers on treatment of
pain and nausea.
Life- threatening hypovolemia in acute pancreatitis develops because of CLS, which occurs in an unpredictable subset of patients. The mechanism of hypovolemia in acute
pancreatitis appears to overlap with trauma and involve
epithelial cell damage, CLS, and loss of large andsmall proteins from the circulation into interstitial and third
spaces[2,3,8]. Blood pressure may not become
significantly
decreased until the patient has lost 30–40% of circulating
blood volume [9]. Therefore, blood pressure correlates
poorly with both blood volume and cardiac output.
Furthermore, the severity of the hypovolemia may be
masked by splanchnic vasoconstriction and shunting of
blood from the viscera to maintain circulation to the brain
and peripheral organs. Hypovolemia may also b e overlooked
by focusing on criteria designed for sepsis or multiple
trauma such as systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg[7,10].

Hypoperfusion and/or ischemia of visceral organs create two additional challenges to the problem of generalized tissue ischemia. First, hypoperfusion may continue
long after systemic volume resuscitation has occurred,
resulting in continued ischemic stress on intestinal
mucosal epithelial cells, the most vulnerable cells of the
gut. Second, mucosal epithelial cell injury results in
breakdown of the mucosal barrier and translocation of
bacteria and toxic factors that enter the circulation via
the mesenteric lymphatics and drive SIRS[11,12]. Thus,
in some patients, a vicious cycle develops with systemic

inflammation leading to CLS, which causes intravascular
hypovolemia and splanchnic vascular bed ischemia,
leading to translocation of proinflammatory toxins from
the gut lumen into the lymphatics that further drives systemic inflammation. Interruption of this cycle should
begin with minimizing or preventing intravascular
hypovolemia.
The usual systolic blood pressure of adults varies
widely, so the relative change in both blood pressure and
heart rate may be more important than an absolute value.

to be a late sign of severe intravascular hypovolemia[13].
An elevated hematocrit indicates hemoconcentration
and implies significant extravasation of serum and
protein- rich plasma from the bloodstream and is a harbinger of impending organ failure [3]. Elevated lactate
levels also suggest that tissues may already be in
shock[14]. We believe that optimal treatment includes
the prevention of hypotension and shock, and resuscitation should not be delayed until signs of hemoconcentration, and shock develop.
Treatment and prevention of progressive intravascular hypovolemia must begin before the patient is transferred to the ICU. Although acute pancreatitis has
been compared with septic shock and similar resuscitation algorithms suggested, the current evidence supporting goal- directed therapy, using parameters to
guide either rate or total volume of resuscitation, to
reduce morbidity or mortality is limited[10]. We recommend that resuscitation with balanced salt solution
should be given rapidly, as soon as the diagnosis of
acute pancreatitis is made, with modifications for
patients with existing comorbidities [4,10]. Further
research on the resuscitative strategies may help guide
our approach[15].
Early use of supplemental oxygen is warranted with
continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation via pulse
oximetry or intermittent arterial blood gas analysis. The
pulmonary edema seen in patients with severe acute
pancreatitis and CLS is usually due to endothelial cell
injury and extravasation of plasma, not fluid overload.
Therefore, the treatment should be positive pressure
ventilation and not diuresis, unless the patient is absolutely volume overloaded.
For pain we recommend hydromorphone 0.5–2.0
mg
intravenously every 15minutes while the respiratory rate
is >10 and systolic blood pressure is >90 mmHg. However,
no differences between opiates were demonstrated in
systematic reviews of variable quality clinical studies[16,17]. Opiates primarily used in the United States
and new studies are needed to determine necessity and
utility. For nausea we give ondansetron 4–8 mg intravenously every 6 hours as needed.
Special Considerations
As in trauma, management decisions made in the early
minutes and hours of care have significant downstream
consequences. The emergency in severe acute pancreatitis is fluid management and tissue oxygenation within
the context of systemic inflammation. But unlike trauma
where the insult is rapid and finite, the systemic inflammation of acute pancreatitis evolves, so continued attention to the evolution of the process over the first 24 hours
is critical.
We strongly discourage the use of contrast computed
tomography (CT) scan in early severe acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis can almost always be made by the
combination of typical pain and elevated serum levels
of pancreatic digestive enzymes [5,7]. Although
contrast- enhanced CT scan remains useful for detecting and quantifying pancreatic necrosis and/or fluid
collections, there are no urgent interventions, and the
evaluation can be delayed for days. Early contrast CT
poses at least two risks. First, the contrast may worsen
the severity of pancreatic necrosis, as well as kidney
injury in patients, especially if there is poor perfusion
from hypovolemia and/or shunting of blood from visceral organs. Second, the process of obtaining a CT
may interrupt evaluation and treatment, or delay
transfer to the ICU. However, CT or other abdominal
imaging modalities may be required if the diagnosis is
in question.
Gallstone pancreatitis occurs when small gallstones
become lodged at the sphincter of Oddi and trigger
intrapancreatic digestive enzyme activation and acute
pancreatitis. In some cases, the gallstone remains lodged,
whereas in others the stone passes on its own. Although
there used to be great enthusiasm for urgent endoscopic
retrograde cholangiopancreatography, biliary sphincterotomy, and stone removal, randomized studies failed to
demonstrate a benefit for early intervention [18]. The

https://t.me/medicina_free
exceptions are cases where an impacted gallstone results
in ascending bacterial cholangitis [18]. This condition
represents an urgent complication that requires a therapeutic intervention. In this setting, antibiotics should be
started immediately. However, the priority of an ERCP is
secondary to fluid resuscitation, airway management,
and patient stabilization.
Indications for ICU Admission
Early and appropriate treatment of patients with acute
pancreatitis may result in rapid resolution of signs and
symptoms of more severe disease. In these cases, it is
reasonable for patients to be treated and monitored on a
step- down unit until the clinical course of the patient
dictates a change in care level.
The severe early consequences of acute pancreatitis
are related to organ dysfunction and damage rather
than SIRS itself. The recommendations of the Revised
Atlanta Criteria recommends that patients with SIRS
be considered as high risk for organ failure, but that
severity is based on organ failure that persists for at
least 48 hours to classify patients as truly severe [7].
The Revised Atlanta Criteria defines organ failure
based on the Modified Marshall Score of 2 or more in
the respiratory system (PaO2/FiO2 of >300), renal system (serum creatinine of >170
or cardiovascular system (systolic blood pressure of
<90 and not fluid responsive)[7]. However, we are concerned that the criteria are too severe and too late for
early triage, increasing risk of avoidable organ damage
and unexpected cardiopulmonary arrest of patients
admitted to unmonitored regular hospital floors or at
home.
The problem with the Modified Marshall Score criteria is that they do not account for the baseline state of
the patient and reflect the eventual development of
severe organ dysfunction and failure to meet criteria. In
the early hours of acute pancreatitis evaluation, it is
most important to determine which patient is evolving
into organ failure and initiate mitigation strategies such
as early fluid resuscitation which may prevent hypotension despite severe underlying pathophysiology. We
recommend early identification of patients with evolving organ failure using the Komara criteria[3], which
considers pre- acute pancreatitis biomarker status and
more accurately distinguishes patients with more
severe disease. Specifically, early organ failure
(e.g., within the first 72 hours) is likely if the patient has
a rise of haematocrit from baseline of >3 (odds ratio
17.7, P = 0.014), if both BUN and creatinine levels are
increasing from pre- acute pancreatitis levels (and
continue rising), and if serum albumin and total protein
μmol/L or >1.9 mg/dL)
are dropping. The drop in albumin, and especially total
protein appear to reflect endothelial cell stress or injury
with CLS, which takes 24hours to develop[3]. Multiple
studies now demonstrate that dropping and low serum
albumin are associated with multiorgan failure
and severe outcomes [3,19–21]. Multiple prognostic
scores may also be useful for predicting later organ
failure[22].
We recommend ICU admission for patients with
evolving or persistent organ dysfunction who require a
high level of care with frequent adjustments to the care
plan. Examples include patients with lactate >4 mmol/L,
systolic blood pressure at any time <90 mmHg, need for
vasopressors, an ongoing heart rate of >125 per minute,
rales on lung exam or oxygen saturation <91% on room
air, a respiratory rate >25 per minute, any respiratory acidosis or positive serum ketones. In addition, patients
with SIRS and CLS (based on Komara Criteria above)
may require ICU admission for invasive monitoring of
intravascular volume, and impending cardiac and/or
pulmonary dysfunction.
ICU Treatment of Severe Acute
Pancreatitis
The evolution of severe acute pancreatitis dictates the
concerns and management strategies over the first
days of disease. The initial phase (0–48 hours after
onset of pain) reflects the magnitude of the acute
inflammatory response with SIRS, CLS, and early
organ dysfunction of the cardiovascular system, lungs,
and kidneys. The second phase (48–120 hours after
onset of pain) focuses on managing recovery of organ
systems from injury and preventing secondary problems such as infection in immunocompromised
patients from the compensatory anti- inflammatory
response syndrome (CARS) (23).
Early ICU Management (0–48 Hours
from Onset of Pain)
Managing patients with acute pancreatitis who require
ICU admission is best done by a multidisciplinary team
including intensivists and specialists in the medical and
surgical management of pancreatitis.
Management ofCardiovascular Dysfunction
Hypotension may be the result of inadequate cardiac
output from intravascular volume depletion, reduced
systemic vascular resistance, or both. Early therapy

should center on restoration of adequate circulating
blood volume to ensure adequate oxygen delivery while
simultaneously avoiding exuberant fluid administration,
which leads to volume overload and potentially worse
outcomes [24]. Ongoing hypotension despite volume
resuscitation will require vasopressor support. We guide
our volume resuscitation and the initiation of pressors
based on repeated physical exam, biochemical markers
of perfusion (lactate and mixed venous oxygen saturations), and dynamic measures of preload responsiveness,
such as pulse pressure variation on the arterial line of
intubated patients[25–27].
If the patient remains hypotensive after preload is optimized, we initiate pressors for maintenance of perfusion
pressure. We target a mean arterial pressure of
≥65 mmHg. Once again, there are few study results to
guide us in our choice of pressor. The literature suggests
that neither norepinephrine nor epinephrine have a
mortality benefit for patients with septic shock [14,28].
However, epinephrine may increase lactate levels despite
achieving adequate perfusion pressure, so we start with
norepinephrine. We do not routinely add vasopressin
unless the patient exhibits significant complications
from high-
dose catecholamine therapy such as tachyarrhythmias [29]. Careful documentation of both fluid
input and output is useful for gauging overall fluid balance and the magnitude of CLS.
Management ofPulmonary Dysfunction
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a wellrecognized complication of acute pancreatitis. Initial
management with supplemental oxygen may prove inadequate and many patients with ARDS will require more
aggressive care. High- flow oxygen through a nasal cannula provides heated and humidified oxygen at flow rates
high enough to develop some continuous positive airway
pressure. In addition, high- flow oxygen may be more
comfortable than noninvasive ventilation[30].
All patients who require intubation and mechanical
ventilation for ARDS should be initially managed with a
tidal volume of 6 mL/kg predicted body weight.
Respiratory rates are adjusted to achieve a pH between
7.30 and 7.45 if possible. Positive end- expiratory pressure (PEEP) and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)
should be titrated to maintain an arterial PaO2 of
between 55 and 80 mmHg (31). Titrating PEEP or FiO2
to achieve a PaO2 > 80 mmHg may improve arterial
blood gas values but has not been shown to improve
survival[32]. If hypoxia persists (i.e., a PaO2/FiO2 ratio
of <150 mmHg) and PEEP and FiO2 levels exceed 10
and 0.6, respectively, we consider neuromuscular
blockade[33] and initiate prone position ventilation[34]
early.
Management ofAbdominal Compartment
Syndrome
Abdominal compartment syndrome is a pathophysiologic process arising from increased tissue fluid within
the peritoneal and/or retroperitoneal space. Like other
compartment syndromes, when the abdominal cavity
can no longer expand, further fluid collection results in
increases in abdominal pressure with subsequent
decreases in perfusion and ischemia to intra- abdominal
organs. In patients with acute pancreatitis, swelling from
pancreatic necrosis, ileus with gas distension, fluid collections, and volume overload from resuscitation may
lead to abdominal compartment syndrome. Abdominal
compartment syndrome is suspected on physical examination when the abdomen is firm and/or distended.
Intra- abdominal pressure is the steady- state pressure
within the abdominal cavity and is measured by instilling
25 mL of sterile saline through the Foley catheter and
measuring the resultant pressure at end expiration in the
complete supine position after ensuring that abdominal
muscle contractions are absent and with the transducer
zeroed at the level of the midaxillary line[35]. A normal
intra- abdominal pressure in critically ill adults is
5–7 mmHg. Intra- abdominal hypertension is a sustained
pressure ≥12 mmHg.
Abdominal compartment syndrome is a sustained
intra- abdominal pressure of ≥20 mmHg with new organ
dysfunction or failure. Although some patients may
respond to a trial of sedation and neuromuscular blockade (relaxing the abdominal wall and thereby decreasing
intra- abdominal pressure) and nasogastric tube decompression, many patients with acute pancreatitis and
abdominal compartment syndrome will need a decompressive laparotomy.
Management ofMetabolic
Derangements
Hypertriglyceridemia
Hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis represents a
spectrum of underlying genetic disorders and metabolic
risks such as diabetes mellitus and obesity. Triglycerides
alone are inert. However, it is believed that in the presence of lipase(s), the triglycerides are hydrolyzed to free
fatty acids (FFA), and it is the FFA that are toxic, especially unsaturated FFA[36–38]. Hypertriglyceridemia is
associated with more severe acute pancreatitis and persistent organ failure[39] and may require special attention. Thus, while the focus of physicians treating
hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis in the past has
often been on reducing the triglyceride levels, the focus
should be on clearing FFA[39]. Serum concentrations of

FFA are a function of production and clearance. The
lipolysis of triglycerides normally occurs within tissues
such as muscle, fat, and visceral organs by lipoprotein
lipase (LPL), a regulated enzyme. FFA are cleared by
these tissues, with excess FFA binding to albumin and
transported to the liver where FFA are transferred from
albumin to the hepatocytes. In acute pancreatitis, the
controlled hydrolysis of triglycerides by LPL is disrupted
with the addition of pancreatic lipase(s) that also catalyzes triglycerides to FFA in an unregulated way, overwhelming the capacity of the body to manage the FFA
pool generated by LPL, and leading to lipotoxicity. In
this case, management of the FFA- associated toxicity
should focus on prevention of hydrolysis of triglycerides
by LPL (e.g., fluid resuscitation and maintaining good
hydration, avoiding heparin) by (theoretically) inhibiting
pancreatic lipases [36], and by facilitating clearance of
FFA from the serum with insulin infusion or apheresis/
plasma exchange[40]. In addition to driving SIRS, FFA
can block mitochondrial function, leading to lactic acidosis (pH <7.2, lactate >4 mmol/L), often seen with low
calcium (e.g., calcium <8.3 mg/dL) [41]. This requires
emergency intervention in the ICU, especially in the
presence of liver and/or kidney dysfunction. Note that a
similar syndrome of lactic acidosis occurs with complications of metformin use.
Late ICU Management (>48 Hours
after the Onset of Pain)
Visceral organs share a compartment and regulation of
blood flow. Thus, damage to one organ should raise
awareness of damage to others. The easiest organ to
monitor is the kidney by following serum creatinine levels and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The increase of
serum creatinine and BUN levels over the first 24–72
hours usually indicates pre- renal azotemia [3] and
remains among the best predictors of pancreatic necrosis and persistent organ failure [47,48]. Acute kidney
injury in acute pancreatitis represents one component of
a common mechanism of injury for multiple visceral
organs (i.e., kidneys, pancreas, and intestine) that are
damaged by hypoperfusion and ischemia[3]. Intestinal
ileus may be a parallel sign of visceral organ ischemia.
Early recognition of high risk for pancreatic necrosis
determines future management strategies, and thus further evaluation is warranted.
After resuscitation and stabilization, abdominal imaging remains central to the eventual evaluation of pancreatic morphology, intraother complications. The radiologic evaluation and staging of severe acute pancreatitis are covered in Chapter25.
abdominal fluid collections, and
Diabetic Ketoacidosis withAcute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis often develops in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The mechanism triggering
acute pancreatitis appears to be linked to low pH. In a
study of 100 subjects with DKA the subjects
with coexisting acute pancreatitis had more severe metabolic acidosis (mean pH 7.15 vs. 7.31; P = 0.0001) and
higher anion gap (38.17 mEq/L vs. 25.16 mEq/L;
P = 0.0001)[42,43]. These patients may also have hypertriglyceridemia[44]. In these cases, addressing insulin
deficiency, acidosis, and hydration results in rapid
improvement.
Nutrition Support
Early nutrition support is associated with improved
outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis, and
enteral feeding is superior to total parenteral nutrition
(TPN) when feasible [45,46]. However, ICU patients
are typically complex with confounding medial conditions, each case is unique, and multidisciplinary management may be required. Nutrition support is covered
in Chapter26.
Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome
Alcohol abuse is a common cause of severe acute pancreatitis and alcohol withdrawal may be a complication
encountered in the late ICU phase. We start treatment
with escalating doses of benzodiazepines[49]. Maximal
doses of benzodiazepines are defined by their diluent,
propylene glycol, which can have potentially toxic
effects. For benzodiazepine- resistant alcohol withdrawal syndrome, we add either phenobarbital or
ketamine.
Management ofInfectious Risks
The use of antibiotics is discussed in Chapter 28. The
management of infected pancreatic necrosis is discussed
in Chapters29–31.
Transition Planning
As the clinical course of the patient becomes clear and
the intensity of organ support is reduced, transition out
of the ICU must be considered. We consider transfer out
of the ICU when the organ system dysfunction that
necessitated ICU admission has resolved.
