title: [Hemodynamic characteristics of necrotizing pancreatitis].
abstract: Seventy-one patients with necrotizing pancreatitis in stages II and III were treated at the surgical intensive care unit in the authors' hospital, between 1982 and 1986. Pathological courses in 23 patients were so severe that a pulmonary catheter had to be applied to monitor haemodynamic changes. Seventeen of these 23 patients died (73.9 per cent), while six survived. The gravest difference between these two groups was relating to vasculopulmonary resistance, which went up strongly in the first group (428 +/- 19 dyn X sec X cm-5) and stayed moderate in the second (201 +/- 13 dyn X sec X cm-5). The left-ventricular stroke work index in the first group was lower with significance than that in the second, the values being 33.4 +/- 2 g X m/m2 versus 44 +/- 4.6 g X m/m2.
