ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of rapid rehabilitation therapy on severe acute pancreatitis under intensive care.

MethodsThe clinical data of 96 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were analyzed retrospectively.Forty-six cases from January 2010 to March 2016 were set as the control group, which was treated with traditional regimen; fifty cases from April 2016 to December 2019 were set as the observation group, which was treated with rapid rehabilitation therapy such as sufficient analgesia, early (24-72 h) oral or nasogastric tube feeding, controlled fluid resuscitation, early removal of nasogastric tube, reduction of use or early withdrawal of deep vein catheter and catheter, and early activity on the basis of control group.Pain score, body mass loss, incidence of systemic and local complication, ICU hospitalization time and hospitalization expense were compared between the two groups.

ResultsCompared with the control group, the pain, overall complications, infusion time, treatment cost and ICU hospitalization time in the observation group were significantly improved (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), and the mortality was not statistically significant (P>0.05).

ConclusionsApplication of rapid rehabilitation therapy under the intensive care can reduce complication, save hospitalization expense, shorten ICU hospitalization time, improve the quality of life, and accelerate the recovery of patients with severe acute pancreatitis, which can be expected to become an alternative method for the treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
