ObjectiveTo investigate the prophylactic effect of somatostatin combined with pantoprazole sodium on pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia after ERCP. Methods268 patients underwent ERCP were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with134 cases in each. The control group was received routine treatment,such as fasting, rehydration, support treatment,while the observation group was given somatostatin of 3mg dissolve in 60 mL of physiological saline after the procedure,intravenous infusion,5ml/hour, for 24 hours; and Pantoprazole of 40mg dissolve in 100mL of physiological saline, I.V., 2 times a day,for 48 hours. The levels of serum amylase were detected before and 3 and 4 hours after the procedure.The clinical manifestations of pancreatitis were observed simultaneously. ResultsThe levels of serum amylase were lower in the observation group than those in the control group 3 and 4 hours post ERCP(P<0.05). The occurrence of acute pancreatitis patients in control group was 10.45% (14/134), significantly higher than that of the observation group;3 and 24 h post ERCP, the incidence of hyperamylasemia were 21.64% and 9.70% in the observation group, significantly lower than that in the control group(47.01% and 27.61%,P<0.05).ConclusionSomatostatin combined with pantoprazole sodium can effectively prevent hyperamylasemsa and pancreatitis after ERCP.
