Abstract EN
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) still remains an important surgical problem with high morbidity and mortality.
The utilization of Traditional Chinese Medicine shows good prospects in therapy of SAP since it has advantages of more extensive pharmacological effects and fewer adverse effects.
In this retrospective study, 38 patients received standardized treatment (control group) and 37 patients received Chinese herbal decoction, Huoxue Qingyi Decoction (HQD group), in addition to standard treatment for SAP.
We found that the HQD group had a shorter hospital stay and lower initial expense than the control group (P<0.05).
The duration of hyperamylasemia and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were significantly shorter in HQD group (P<0.05).
The percentage of patients having any complication was much lower in HQD group than control group (27/38 versus 17/37, P<0.05), especially pancreatic pseudocyst (10/38 versus 2/37, P<0.05).
No adverse effect induced by HQD was found.
We concluded that the HQD was effective, safe, and economic for reduction of complication, for early recovery from systemic inflammation, and for promoting earlier rehabilitation from SAP.
