Fulminant pancreatitis, also known as severe acute pancreatitis, is a sudden-onset, rapidly progressing inflammatory condition of the pancreas, often accompanied by severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. It may be caused by various factors, including gallstones, excessive alcohol consumption, hyperlipidemia, infections, or certain medications.
Recommendations for relief:
1. General treatment: Includes close monitoring of the patient's vital signs, short-term fasting (no food or drink) to reduce pancreatic secretion, thereby alleviating symptoms of abdominal distension and pain.
2. Medication therapy: Analgesics, pancreatic enzyme preparations, and proton pump inhibitors may be used to relieve pain and inhibit pancreatic secretion.
3. Nutritional support: Providing adequate nutrients intravenously to meet the body's basic requirements.
4. Enhancing immunity: Encouraging patients to engage in appropriate physical activity and supplementing with high-quality protein and multiple vitamins to strengthen the body's immune defenses.
If you experience any physical discomfort, seek medical attention promptly.
