Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of ultraearly NPPV on the prevention and treatment of ALI patients caused by SAP and the effect of ultra-early NPPV on various inflammatory factors in the peripheral blood of ALI patients caused by SAP. Methods 46 patients did not reach the ALI/ARDS diagnostic criteria were group A and group B. Group A was treated with early NPPV. Group B was without ventilation. The Blood gas analysis, SpO2 and respiratory rate were observed. The incidence of ALI/ARDS, the ratio of invasive ventilation, ICU occupancy time, mechanical ventilation time and mortality were observed. The serum TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 were measured. Results m There were 5 cases and 15 cases to develop to ALI/ARDS of group A and group B. ICU occupancy time and total mechanical ventilation time of group A were shorter than that of group B (P<0.01). There was no difference in mortality between the two groups (P>0.01). TNF, IL-6 and IL-8 of group A were lower than that of group B (P<0.01). Conclusion Early Use of NPPV is effective to treat acute lung injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis and the mechanism of immune response.
