A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of therapeutic peritoneal lavage (2 l/h for 3 days) in 91 patients with severe acute pancreatitis was performed. Patients were entered into the study if severe pancreatitis was indicated by multiple laboratory criteria or diagnostic peritoneal lavage. All patients received full supportive treatment. The median time between the onset of symptoms and randomization was 38 h. Patients (46) were assigned to the control group and 45 to the lavage group. There were 13 deaths (28%) and 16 patients with major complications (35%) in the control group, as compared with 12 deaths (27%) and 17 patients with major complications (38%) in the lavage group. Lavage did not appear to modify the length of survival, the incidence of pancreatic collections (pseudocysts or abscesses), or the plasma amylase concentration. Considering the statistical power of the design, the outcome of severe pancreatitis was not greatly, if at all, influenced by the regimen of peritoneal lavage used in this study.
