    Author: Kostiuchenko KV, Rybachkov VV.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2005; (4):9-13. PubMed ID: 15940171.
    Abstract:
    Based on clinical examination and analysis of treatment results of 575 patients with general peritonitis, the most informative factors were determined which predict lethal outcome, progression of peritonitis and help choose the most effective surgical policy. It is demonstrated that conventional treatment is preferable in the interval of perioperative score of APACHE II from 0 to 10, and programmed sanation relaparotomies -- from 11 to 15. Data about efficacy of total intestinal decompression and peritoneal-enteral lavage, and also methods of mathematical prediction of postoperative complications and outcomes are presented. Prognostic value of individual symptoms, different degree of organs dysfunction and SIRS criteria in early postoperative period were determined.
