[Intra-arterial regional therapy using noradrenaline in the complex treatment of diffuse peritonitis]

A prolonged infusion of noradrenaline (40 mkg) into the mesenterial artery was carried out in the early postoperative period in 30 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis in order to arrest the inflammatory reaction of the peritoneum. More rapid decrease of intoxication, prevention of plasmatic losses and less lethality were noted as compared with the control group.
