Goal-directed Fluid Resuscitation in Acute Pancreatitis

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Pancreatitis

In brief

Vigorous fluid resuscitation is currently believed to play a key role in reducing complications associated with acute pancreatitis. However, aggressive fluid replacement can be associated with complications such as pulmonary fluid sequestration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative approaches to early fluid resuscitation for patients with acute pancreatitis.
