title: [Epidural block in the complex treatment of patents with edematous and destructive forms of acute pancreatitis].
abstract: Acute pancreatitis is a severe and life-threatening surgical disease. There is no consensus of opinion on its treatments. The impact of epidural anesthesia on the course of pancreatitis in the first phase (enzymemia) was studied. There was evidence that the epidural block failed to affect the intoxication index, restored intestinal motility more promptly, and was more effective in pain relief as compared with the routine treatment.
