Percutaneous resonance stimulation in complex correction of intraabdominal hypertension and dynamic intestinal obstruction in patients with severe acute pancreatitis

Aim. To evaluate an effectiveness of non-invasive stimulation of gastrointestinal peristaltic activity in complex correction of motor-evacuation disorders and intra-abdominal hypertension in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Material and methods. There were 85 patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n = 43) – percutaneous resonance stimulation; group 2 (n = 42) – routine treatment of acute pancreatitis with intraperitoneal hypertension syndrome and dynamic intestinal obstruction according to normative documents. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured in 1, 3, 5, 7 days after disease onset. Abdominal perfusion pressure and filtration gradient were additionally calculated. Moreover, outcomes were assessed after 1, 3, 5, and 7 days according to visual-analogue scale.

Results. There were faster regression of intraperitoneal hypertension followed by normalization of abdominal pressure after 7 days in group 1 compared with group 2 (p ≤ 0.05). Data of visual-analogue scale confirmed patients’ good tolerability of resonance stimulation including absent local discomfort during electrodes deployment and better state of health compared with group 2 (p ≤ 0.05). Infectious complications rate was 20.9% in group 1, 38.1% – in group 2. Sepsis developed in 3 (7%) patients of group 1 and in 7 (16.6%) patients of group 2. Overall mortality was 7% and 14.3% in both groups, respectively.

Сonclusion. Percutaneous resonance stimulation is able to improve outcomes in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
