[Effectiveness of continuous drainage in diffuse bacterial peritonitis]

G Esser, H H Rappen

    Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift Fur Alle Gebiete Der Operativen Medizen
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Continuous peritoneal lavage for diffuse bacterial peritonitis showed earlier arrest but increased complications and mortality. This method is not recommended, except for stercoraceous peritonitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical procedures
    • Infectious disease management
    • Critical care medicine

    Context:

    • Diffuse bacterial peritonitis presents significant treatment challenges.
    • Postoperative continuous peritoneal lavage was explored as a therapeutic option.
    • Conventional treatment methods have documented outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous peritoneal lavage in treating diffuse bacterial peritonitis.
    • To compare outcomes of continuous peritoneal lavage with conventional treatment.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 41 patients undergoing continuous peritoneal lavage (CPL) from 1975-1977 showed earlier arrest of peritonitis.
    • However, CPL led to increased wound complications and prolonged hospital stays (25 to 44 days).
    • Lethality increased from 42% to 54% in the CPL group compared to conventional treatment.

    Impact:

    • Continuous peritoneal lavage generally outweighs its benefits due to increased harm.
    • An exception exists for stercoraceous peritonitis, where CPL may still be indicated.
    • Findings suggest reconsidering CPL as a standard treatment for diffuse bacterial peritonitis.
