Management of Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common causes of hospitalisation from gastrointestinal diseases. The causes of pancreatitis vary between countries. Acute pancreatitis is classified based on Revised Atlanta classification 2013 as mild, moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatic severity can be stratified by scoring systems such as Ranson’s score, BISAP score, APACHE-II score, SOFA score. In severe acute pancreatitis, to diagnose, abdominal pain raised amylase or lipase, supported imaging finding and organ failure. Organ failure can be diagnosed by using Modified Marshall Scoring System. Management is started conservatively, which are fluid resuscitation, enteral nutrition, analgesics, and antibiotics. Surgical management is indicated when infected pancreas necrosis is detected. In this review, we will discuss the current management based on recent research.
