Droppers for pancreatitis

In case of acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), treatment is carried out in a hospital setting. This disease is very dangerous, and failure to provide timely assistance can lead to serious consequences or death. To stop the inflammation process, complex treatment is prescribed, aimed at reducing the acidity of gastric juice and reducing poisoning of the body. Intravenous administration of drugs is mainly used to protect the gastrointestinal tract from irritation and not to injure the inflamed gland. What kind of IVs can be used for pancreatitis? This is what will be discussed in this article.

Signs of pancreatic inflammation

Knowing the key symptoms of the disease is necessary in order to consult a doctor in time and not lose your chances of a successful recovery. The main symptom is severe girdling pain that radiates to the right hypochondrium. In addition, exacerbation of pancreatitis is characterized by:

upset stool (diarrhea or constipation), nausea, vomiting;
hiccups, belching;
increased salivation;
increased gas formation, flatulence;
bitter taste in the mouth;
increased heart rate and breathing;
increased body temperature;
decreased appetite and sudden weight loss.

To relieve pain, you should take the fetal position and urgently call an ambulance. No measures should be taken on your own, other than using a cold heating pad with ice placed on the upper abdomen.

What is pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. Digestive enzymes do not enter the intestines and begin to digest gland tissue - the organ destroys itself. Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic.

Causes

Pancreatitis in 90 percent of cases occurs due to alcohol abuse and gallbladder disease. May be caused by:

diseases of the duodenum;
damage to the abdominal cavity;
use of certain medications;
infectious or viral diseases;
ascariasis;
anatomical abnormalities of the pancreatic duct;
impaired metabolism;
vascular pathologies;
genetic predisposition;
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Interesting fact! In almost 29 percent of patients with acute pancreatitis, the cause of development cannot be determined.

Characteristic manifestations

The main symptom of acute pancreatitis is very severe girdle pain in the upper abdomen. Antispasmodics and analgesics do not help relieve pain. The patient suffers from vomiting, abnormal bowel movements, and weakness. A biochemical blood test shows a 10-fold increase in alpha-amylase. On ultrasound it is manifested by changes in shape, uneven edges, and cysts.

Chronic pancreatitis is accompanied by constant pain that occurs in the epigastric region and is felt in the back. The pain is girdle-like and intensifies if the patient lies on his back. They subside if you lean forward a little. Discomfort increases quickly within an hour after eating. Sometimes the pain can be confused with angina.

Another unpleasant symptom of pancreatitis is diarrhea. The feces become mushy and may contain undigested food. The amount of feces increases. They have an unpleasant odor, a gray tint, a greasy appearance, and are difficult to wash off from the surface of the toilet walls.

Note! At the same time, the patient may suffer from belching, nausea, occasional vomiting, flatulence, lack of appetite, and weight loss rapidly.

Why are IVs given for pancreatitis?

Droppers are used to slowly administer medications. The drugs immediately reach their intended purpose without irritating the gastrointestinal tract. Droppers for pancreatitis are a mandatory part of the treatment of the disease.

Among the advantages of this method over others are:

immediate release of drugs into the blood:
rapid action of the drug;
the medicine does not enter the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas does not irritate;
The medication stays in the body longer than if taken orally.

Droppers for pancreatitis, with an individually selected composition, perform several functions. With an inflamed pancreas, the patient cannot take any food, not even a sip of water. Fasting continues for several days, so solutions are administered through a dropper to replace food and liquid and prevent dehydration. Time is given for the gland to recover - it works in a gentle mode, reducing the production of enzymes. In addition, with the help of droppers, the process of removing toxins and unprocessed enzymes is faster.

What patients say

When pancreatitis worsens, I inject myself with medications into a vein or muscle. To do this, I mix sodium chloride, Analgin, Papaverine and Spazialgin. The main goal is to relieve pain. This makes almost 6 cubes of solution. I inject into the buttock or into a vein. The effect occurs within 10 minutes.

My wife is a doctor by training, so she treats exacerbation of pancreatitis on her own with the help of a drip. The solution is the same as in the hospital. The result is always good. Besides the IVs, I follow a diet and try not to get nervous.

Types of pancreatitis

There are several types of disease:

Chronic. It is characterized by rapid weight loss, dry mouth, bloating, and bowel problems: diarrhea replaces constipation. Pain rarely bothers me. In the treatment of chronic pancreatitis, it is possible to use medications prescribed by a doctor, both in the form of droppers and intramuscularly, as well as in the form of tablets.
Spicy. It differs from the chronic type by sharp pain. It appears in different places - in the left or right side, and can radiate to the back or chest. It all depends on the location of the inflammatory process in the gland. In acute pancreatitis, IVs are indispensable. At first, all medications and even nutrition are provided only through intravenous infusion. The use of IVs allows you to remove the load from the pancreas for a certain time and allow it to recover.
Reactive. In its manifestations it is similar to the acute form - the pain is often accompanied by nausea. It can also be treated using droppers.
Children's. The disease occurs in children more often from malnutrition or peritoneal contusion. For the most part it occurs in a reactive form.

All types of pancreatitis, if you follow the doctor's recommendations and use droppers with medications, lead to a positive effect.

Effective IVs for the treatment of pancreatitis

It is impossible to say which IV will show the best results. It depends on the general condition of the patient. The qualifications and experience of the doctor who selects the therapeutic regimen is also very important.

For acute pancreatitis

Treatment involves eliminating pain with the help of analgesics, anesthetics and antispasmodics. Then they relieve inflammation, reduce pancreatic activity, and remove toxic accumulations. They use complex systems with anti-inflammatory effects, which consist of several agents. Once intensive care is completed, the patient is placed on a bracing system to improve well-being, increase energy levels and prevent dehydration.

For chronic pancreatitis

This form of pancreatitis has a weak clinical picture and vague symptoms. Tablets and suspensions are used for treatment, but they are not very effective. To improve the patient’s condition, it is necessary to remove toxins from his body and improve immunity. This can be achieved with the help of strengthening droppers. They are usually performed in a hospital setting; sometimes they can be performed at home, but only under medical supervision.

What IVs are used for pancreatitis?

In the first days after the attack, the patient is prescribed strict fasting. At this time, he suffers from severe pain, so painkillers and drugs are needed to stop the inflammatory process in the gland. All medications are administered intravenously. Depending on the therapeutic purposes, the following types of droppers are used:

painkillers;
anti-inflammatory;
supportive.

Droppers for pancreatitis are used to speed up the delivery of medications without straining the digestive system. All drugs enter directly into the blood and are immediately delivered to their destination through its current, giving the pancreas the opportunity to recover. A slow and time-consuming injection procedure ensures the desired concentration of drugs and reduces negative side effects.

How long does the course last?

The duration of use of droppers depends on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, his age, the presence of complications/other diseases, general condition and stage of development of pancreatitis. If the patient has a high risk of complications, he is given a drip every 1 or 2 days for 1-6 months. This group of patients is represented by people:

alcohol dependent;
elderly;
with a risk of diabetes mellitus or cancer pathologies;
with concomitant diseases.

If the patient quickly improves, stop taking medications 7 days after the attack. To consolidate the positive effect, the patient needs to follow a strict diet for some time, then you can smoothly switch to proper nutrition.

Painkiller drips

During an attack of pancreatitis, the patient experiences pain in the upper abdomen, so severe that a painful shock may occur, which will negatively affect the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Intravenous administration of painkillers quickly and beneficially affects the patient's condition. It should be noted that you cannot take any painkillers on your own until the ambulance arrives. This negatively affects test results. Droppers for exacerbation of pancreatitis to relieve pain are prescribed by the doctor after making a diagnosis. For this purpose, “No-shpu”, “Ketorol”, “Baralgin” are used.

More about IVs

Many patients who do not delve into the mechanism of action of drip administration of the drug mistakenly believe that it is prescribed only when the patient’s condition is serious. The dropper is a thin plastic tube. In its middle part there is a special small tank, which is intended for the solution. There is a needle at each end of the tube.

One side is intended for insertion into a bottle of medicine, and the second is intended for a vein. The dropper has a pipette that helps the drug flow in small drops. The nurse can control the rate at which the medication flows. For this purpose, a special device is provided that compresses the upper part of the tube.

When adjusting the rate of drug administration, it is necessary to create a small level of drug in the lower part of the reservoir. It helps prevent air from entering the tube and then into the vein. An additional large needle is inserted into the bottle, through which air enters. Without it, the drug will not be able to flow freely into the tube.

Another important requirement when installing an IV in a patient is the location of the reservoir. It should be above the level of the vein

Special stands and holders are provided for droppers.

Anti-inflammatory droppers

To reduce the inflammatory process, it is necessary to suspend the production of enzymes by the pancreas necessary for the absorption of food. They are difficult to remove from the body, and the active work of the gland exacerbates the abnormal process. For this purpose, the following groups of drugs are used:

fast-acting - NSAIDs that suppress nonspecific inflammatory factors;
slow-acting drugs - immunosuppressants that affect the main parts of the immune system of the abnormal process;
corticosteroids – they have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

Pancreatitis is treated with droppers, which relieve signs of acute inflammation and reduce tissue swelling. The attending physician selects the drugs and dosage individually for each patient, taking into account his age, form and severity of the disease.

Drugs that improve microcirculation in the lumbar region

Medicines in this group are secondary and are not able to categorically reduce pain and discomfort. Their main task is to saturate the blood with oxygen, thus increasing microcirculation in the lumbar area.

Cavinton

Can be used both in the form of tablets and in the form of solutions for droppers. The main goal is to saturate the blood vessels with oxygen, helping them cope with the underlying disease.

Application: Droppers with Cavinton are given mainly to those people who suffer from a lack of oxygen in the blood caused by the side effects of active medications that eliminate back discomfort.

Contraindications: Cavinton is not used in infancy, as well as in old age, when there is a high probability of internal bleeding.

Side effects:

dizziness;
lack of appetite;
heartburn;
insomnia.

Available without a prescription, can be used as a dietary supplement on the recommendation of a doctor.

Trental

It has a similar effect on the body as is typical for this series of medications.

Application: Intravenously, 10 ml morning and evening. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 25 ml.

Contraindications: The drug is not used by cancer patients and people with pathological diseases of the blood and circulatory system.

Side effects:

sleep disorders;
hyperactivity;
overexcitability.

Droppers to support the body

If the disease worsens in the first days of a patient’s hospital stay, therapeutic fasting is recommended, when the patient cannot eat or drink, which means the body will not receive the necessary substances for normal functioning. Maintenance drips literally help the individual replenish the body with nutrients and maintain water balance. A dropper for pancreatitis, which contains glucose and saline solution, will help the patient improve vitality and replenish the resulting fluid deficiency. In addition, vitamins are used to maintain the immune system; they are administered after acute symptoms have resolved.

Which ones do they put?

For inflammation of the pancreas, three types of IVs are placed:

for pain relief;
to eliminate inflammation;
to maintain the body.

The name of the medication, dosage, and duration of the treatment course are determined by the doctor.

Painkillers

The doctor prescribes such droppers to relieve the pain experienced by the patient. As a result, spasms are reduced and the risk of complications is reduced.

Painkiller drips are given with the following medications: Papaverine, No-shpa, Drotaverine, etc. Together with them, Hemodez and Polydez are prescribed - medications that relieve intoxication.

Painkiller drips are given with medications such as No-shpa.

Anti-inflammatory

To relieve inflammation from the gland, droppers with an anti-inflammatory drug composition are prescribed. This therapy helps eliminate swelling of the tissues of the diseased organ, nourishes the cells, and reduces the level of enzymes produced.

Such procedures are carried out only in a hospital. They are prescribed immediately after diagnosis. The earlier treatment is started, the lower the risk of developing complications of the disease. Sandostatin is used for anti-inflammatory drips.

Droppers with antibiotics from the fluoroquinolone group - Ciprofloxacin - are often given.

Complex treatment may also include antibacterial medications. They are prescribed if there is a risk of infection spreading to neighboring organs. Droppers with antibiotics from the fluoroquinolone group - Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin - are often placed.

Supporters

The complex of therapeutic measures for pancreatitis includes fasting, which can last several days.

It is impossible to leave the body without nutrition for such a period, so the patient is prescribed IVs with a maintenance solution that includes all the vitamins and microelements necessary to ensure vital functions.

Glucose is administered to maintain vitality and normalize monosaccharide levels. To avoid dehydration, a physiological (isotonic) sodium chloride solution is used. Droppers are good because they quickly deliver useful substances to the body without affecting the human digestive system.

Glucose is administered to maintain vitality and normalize monosaccharide levels.

Treatment of pancreatitis is not complete without Contrikal or analogue drugs. Solutions with this drug suppress the activity of enzymes - trypsin and chymotrypsin, and relieve the inflamed pancreas.

Drugs to treat the disease

Before prescribing medication, the patient must undergo a diagnostic examination. After this, the composition of the droppers and the dosage of medications are selected by the attending physician.

It takes into account the stage of the disease, chronic ailments, and the general condition of the patient. Drugs used in droppers for pancreatitis according to the instructions for medical use:

Anti-inflammatory drugs - “Contrikal”, “Sandostatin” stop the production of enzymes.
Painkillers – “Baralgin”, “Analgin”, “Ketorol” - are used to relieve pain and prevent shock.
Reducing stomach acidity - Pantoprazole, Omeprazole.
For rehabilitation therapy - “Glucose” and saline solution.
Antispasmodics – “Drotaverine”, “Papaverine”.
Relieving swelling of tissues - “Furosemide”.
To prevent intoxication - “Hemodez”, “Polidez”.
Antibacterial - Metronidazole, Ofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin are administered to prevent secondary infection.

Drug names

The list of medications is selected by a specialist after a thorough examination of the patient and confirmation of the diagnosis. In most cases, the following drugs are prescribed:

Acetaminophen. Paracetamol analogue. The substance of the same name contains 500 mg. It has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Contraindications – hypersensitivity to components, age under 12 years, liver, kidney failure.

Prevention of pancreatitis

In order to protect yourself from inflammation of the pancreas, you must first of all lead a healthy lifestyle. It is important to limit yourself in eating fatty, fried and spicy foods. Do not overeat, abuse alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.

It is also necessary to protect yourself from stress, build a daily routine that is comfortable for the body in general and a diet in particular. It is equally important to monitor your health and promptly treat emerging diseases, especially those that have a direct effect on the pancreas.

One of the most serious human diseases is pancreatitis, and treatment of this disease cannot be delayed.

The main component of his treatment are droppers. Without these procedures, inflammation of the pancreas will not go away.

Tablets can be prescribed only for chronic pancreatitis. In other stages of the disease, only intravenous infusion of medications is prescribed.

Types of IVs and treatment features

Petrov's mixture for osteochondrosis

Droppers may contain different medications. Most often in the treatment of osteochondrosis of different parts of the spine the following are used:

Eufillin;
Dexamethasone;
Grechko mixture;
Petrov's mixture;
Trental.

Droppers can also have a complex composition.

Eufillin

Eufillin helps relax the back muscles

The drug helps relieve muscle spasms, also providing an analgesic effect. The mixture for the dropper is prepared from the following calculation: 10 - 20 ml of aminophylline per 100 - 150 ml of isotonic sodium hydrochloride solution.

The rate of administration of the product is 30 – 50 drops per minute. The duration of treatment is determined individually.

Droppers with Eufillin for osteochondrosis should not be used in the presence of the following pathologies:

high/low blood pressure;
heart disease;
epilepsy;
swelling of the lung tissue;
thyrotoxicosis;
poor kidney/liver function;
predisposition to bleeding.

Treatment will have to be abandoned if a person is allergic to Eufillin.

Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone is a hormonal anti-inflammatory drug for severe pain.

Dexamethasone belongs to a group of hormonal drugs from the group of corticosteroids. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, eliminating local inflammation and relieving pain.

The dosage of the product is selected individually. Dexamethasone is used intravenously in case of exacerbation of osteochondrosis to relieve pain for no more than three days.

Droppers with complex composition

To enhance the therapeutic effect, the doctor can use several drugs simultaneously. The composition of a complex dropper for severe pain due to osteochondrosis, for example, with shooting in the neck and shoulder girdle, may include the following drugs:

Solution of Analgin/Baralgin/Novocaine + Hydrocortisone/Eufillin/Lasix + vitamin B12 + any tranquilizer.
Baralgin + Relanium/Decamethasone/Novocaine + glucose solution.
Analgin solution (50%) + No-Shpa solution (2%) + Reopirin.
Analgin solution (50%) + No-Spa/Lasix + Novocaine (25%) + saline solution.

The combination of drugs may be different and depends on the current symptoms of osteochondrosis.

Grechko mixture

Complex pain relief mixture with vitamin B12

The mixture of drugs is intended for intravenous drip administration. In its classic composition, Grechko’s mixture for osteochondrosis includes:

Diphenhydramine (2 ml);
Analgin (2 ml);
Novocaine (2 ml);
vitamin B 12 (1 ml).

Novocaine or vitamin in case of intolerance can be replaced. Alternatives may include:

Papaverine instead of Novocaine;
vitamin B12 – a mix of vitamin B1 + Proserpine.

The resulting medicinal mixture is diluted in 400 ml of saline solution. The analgesic effect lasts from 3 to 5 hours. The duration of the course is no more than 5 droppers.

Petrov's mixture is a hyperosmotic agent used for dehydration of the body. It is included in IVs for osteochondrosis when an infectious inflammatory process develops.

Trental

Trental dilates blood vessels, relieving spasm of the back muscles, preventing the formation of blood clots

The active ingredient of the drug is pentoxifylline. This is an organic compound containing nitrogen atoms.

The use of Trental improves blood circulation and restores nutrition to the inflamed intervertebral discs that separate the joints of the spine. The effect is achieved due to the ability of the drug to prevent the formation of blood clots in the lumen of the bloodstream, and also improves blood flow rates. Trental also helps to relax the walls of blood vessels, increasing their lumen. The result of the effect is the improvement of tissue trophism and the removal of the inflammatory process.

Trental has a number of contraindications for use:

hemorrhagic form of stroke;
hemorrhage in the tissue of the retina;
recent myocardial infarction;
atherosclerosis;
arrhythmia;
low blood pressure;
pregnancy and breastfeeding period.

The drug is well tolerated. Side effects are rare. It can be:

allergy;
sleep disorders;
chest pain;
attacks of nausea and vomiting;
local and internal hemorrhages.

According to reviews, the drug copes well with the manifestations of osteochondrosis; side effects occur in exceptional cases.

Why are strengthening droppers needed?

The essence of the technique is the drip introduction of a medicinal solution into the patient’s bloodstream in sufficiently large volumes, which makes it possible to saturate the cells with the drug and at the same time replenish the body’s need for clean water.

The drip method of administering medications has significant advantages over taking tablet medications. First of all, intravenous drip infusions make it possible to achieve maximum absorption of the drug, which is explained by the direct introduction of the active agent into the patient’s blood.

Duration of the course of procedures for pancreatitis

The number of droppers is prescribed to the patient individually by the doctor. It all depends on the stage of the disease, the age of the patient, tolerability of these procedures, and the presence of other diseases.

Patients at high risk of developing severe consequences are given them every day for one to several months.

This high-risk category includes patients who are:

alcohol dependent;
retirement age;
are at risk of developing diabetes;
have a risk of developing cancer pathologies.

Also included in this category are patients who have concomitant diseases. When treating such a patient, the doctor takes into account the presence and characteristics of another disease.

Prescribes gentle treatment for pancreatitis, so as not to harm the health and not aggravate the manifestation of another disease of the patient. Thanks to intravenous infusions of drugs, the symptoms of this disease are relieved.

Complications after the system

The system must be installed by qualified personnel. Doctors are required to monitor the progress of the drug being introduced into the body.

It is possible that an allergic reaction to the administered medication may occur. In this case, treatment is stopped immediately and the composition is adjusted.
Hematoma or bruise. This is the very least that can happen. This side effect is practically ignored. Occurs a few minutes after needle insertion. To reduce tissue trauma, vasofix is initially administered and left on the arm until the full course of treatment is completed.
Tissue swelling occurs when the needle does not enter the vein and the medicine begins to flow into the soft tissues. In this situation, the error must be corrected immediately.
An air embolism occurs when air enters a vein. Typically, the situation occurs if doctors do not remove the needle in a timely manner when the medicine runs out. A blocked blood vessel can lead to death.
Sepsis is rare if asepsis is not followed. Infection of blood and tissues occurs through a needle.
Necrosis or tissue necrosis occurs when a potent drug is administered or the permissible dosage is exceeded.
