Role of Intraperitoneal Antibiotic Lavage in Peritonitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although mortality and morbidity associated with generalized peritonitis has been brought down markedly, postoperative complications like wound sepsis, intra-abdomlnal collections, paralytic ileus and septicemia do occur in some cases. To minimize such complications different measures have been tried so far, including intraperitoneal lavage with saline solutions and antibiotics. We conducted a study involving fifty patients over a period of two years using the third generation cephalosporin, cefotaxime intraperitoneally with encouragi~g results.

Evaluation of intraoperative peritoneal lavage with super-oxidized solution and normal saline in acute peritonitis
Background: The fundamentals in the treatment of acute peritonitis include resuscitation, treatment of septicemia, control of the contaminating source and peritoneal toilet. Numerous studies have shown the roles of different solutions such as normal saline, antibiotics and betadine as intraperitoneal lavage, in reducing morbidity and mortality of peritonitis. The objective of this study was to ...
متن کاملAnti-Inflammatory Effects of a Pomegranate Leaf Extract in LPS-Induced Peritonitis.
Folk medicine suggests that pomegranate (peels, seeds and leaves) has anti-inflammatory properties; however, the precise mechanisms by which this plant affects the inflammatory process remain unclear. Herein, we analyzed the anti-inflammatory properties of a hydroalcoholic extract prepared from pomegranate leaves using a rat model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute peritonitis. Male Wistar rat...
متن کاملEndotoxin induced peritonitis elicits monocyte immigration into the lung: implications on alveolar space inflammatory responsiveness
BACKGROUND Acute peritonitis developing in response to gram-negative bacterial infection is known to act as a trigger for the development of acute lung injury which is often complicated by the development of nosocomial pneumonia. We hypothesized that endotoxin-induced peritonitis provokes recruitment of monocytes into the lungs, which amplifies lung inflammatory responses to a second hit intra-...
متن کاملSuggestions for Clinical Care
Where local or international guidelines are available they should be used to guide therapy. Peritoneal dialysate effluent should be collected and processed in an appropriate manner to ensure culture-negative episodes account for < 20% of all PD-associated peritonitis. While there is no good evidence to support specific antibiotic choice, empiric intraperitoneal therapy should consider local mic...
متن کاملPeritoneal lavage in peritonitis: a preliminary evaluation.
Despite advances in therapy based on increasing understanding of the attendant haemodynamic and metabolic derangements, together with the use of antibiotics, diffuse peritonitis remains a life-endangering condition. The mortality rate of diffuse faecal and biliary peritonitis is still about 50% (Dawson, 1964; Means, 1964). Some surgeons believe in cleansing the peritoneal cavity at operation wi...
