  Purpose

Fluid resuscitation for pancreatitis is recommended given evidence that hemoconcentration is associated with necrosis. However, there is insufficient evidence to support whether resuscitation should be moderate or aggressive. In this study the investigators aim to compare the clinical outcome associated with these strategies in a clinical randomized fashion to determine the optimal treatment of acute pancreatitis.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical Improvement [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Decreased hematocrit, BUN, Cr compared to time zero, decreased epigastric pain, and ability to tolerate PO's.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Time to reach clinical improvement [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time required to reach clinical improvement (as defined in primary outcome measure)

  • Requirement for aggressive hydration [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Patients initally in the moderate hydration arm who have an increase in BUN, CR, Hematocrit, or epigastric pain and thus are crossed over to the aggressive hydration arm.

  • Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    SIRS will be defined based on having 2 out of 4 possible criterion. A) heart rate >90, respiratory rate >20, Temperature greater than 100.4 degrees farenheit or less than 96.8 degrees farenheit. White blood count >10 of <4.

  • Severe Pancreatitis [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Severe pancreatitis will be defined if 1 of the following is present; pancreatic necrosis (>30%) or abscess, blood pressure <90mmHg, oxygen saturation <90%, Cr >2mg/dl after 12 hours of resuscitation, >10 days hospitalization, or pseudocyst. Pseudocyst is deefined as a peripancreatic fluid collection which does not resorb within 4-8 weeks.

  • Fluid Overload [ Time Frame: 36 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Physical exam findings of pitting edema, ascites, anasacra, pulmonary edema, or dyspnea.
