  • Title: [Anesthetic management in a patient with severe acute pancreatitis during pregnancy].
    Author: Hino H, Nagano K, Yamanaka I, Suzuki R, Okada T.
    Journal: Masui; 2000 Jan; 49(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 10689843.
    Abstract:
    Continuous epidural anesthesia was used in a 34 year-old pregnant woman with acute pancreatitis related to hypertriglyceridemia. She underwent an emergency cesarean section due to severe pancreatitis under spinal anesthesia. After delivery, extended incision was made to examine the pancreas and to perform drainage. Epidural infusion using 1% mepivacaine and buprenorphine was started to reduce pain and improve microcirculation. After starting epidural infusion with other therapies, clinical feature and data improved. This case suggests that reduction of severe pain and improvement of microcirculation are important in therapies of severe pancreatitis.
