[The therapeutic measures in acute diffuse peritonitis]

Analysis of the observations of 431 patient with acute diffuse peritonitis is presented. Use of intraabdominal flowing lavage is recommended in patients with inflammatory phenomena against the background of moderately pronounced changes in microcirculation in the parietal peritoneum. The maximum clinical effect of hemosorption and lymphosorption was noted at the first 3 days after the operation in cathepsin-D activity in the blood equal to 14-17 activity units/(min.mg) and lymphorrhea over 700 ml/day. Lethality was 18.8%.
