METHOD FOR PREVENTION OF DEVELOPING ACUTE POSTOPERATIVE PANCREATITIS ACCOMPANYING ENDOSCOPIC TRANSPAPILLARY INTERVENTIONS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61M19/00 A61K31/16 A61K31/4168 A61P23/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely anesthesiology, intensive therapy and endosurgery, and may be used in patients in need of endoscopic transpapillary intervention. That is ensured by an intravenous infusion therapy with crystalloid solutions in the amount of 800-1200 ml. An epidural space is punctured and catheterised at the level of Th VIII - Th IX with the catheter moved by 4-5 cm in the cranial direction. A local anaesthetic solution and Clopheline 100 mcg are introduced through the epidural catheter at the level of Th V - Th X 20 minutes before the endoscopic transpapillary intervention. It is followed by pre-medication enabled by introducing 0.1% atropine 0.5-1 ml and 0.5% relanium 1-2 ml, and the patient is wheeled into a catheterisation laboratory. After the endoscopic transpapillary intervention completed, the patient is transferred into an intensive therapy unit wherein prolonged epidural analgesia is enabled by introducing 0.5-1% lidocaine 10 ml into the epidural space every 4 hours. If observing no clinical manifestations of postoperative pancreatitis, the epidural catheter is removed, and the patient is transferred into a department of surgery for symptomatic treatment.

EFFECT: method enables preventing acute postoperative pancreatitis following such interventions due to action of a general mechanism of pathogenesis of the given pathology.
