Medical Treatment of Cholangitis

The cholangitis is a therapeutic emergency, ask her diagnosis implies in most cases the rapid achievement of a surgical procedure to remove the obstacle located on the VBP, but the recent concept of cholangitis reversed this notion of the importance of near-total surgery and provides great value to the medical component of care, by which its effectiveness can be attributed to a large surgical success rate.This medical treatment should in no case delay the surgery for which the appropriate timing will be the result of collaboration between physicians, surgeons and intensivists.The aim of this collaboration is to provide appropriate therapy, minimally invasive. The management of the patient is best performed by specialists with experience in various procedures.This collaboration is also illustrated in the realization of combining different approaches and procedures in the management of failures and complications of each method.Interventional radiology procedures are potentially long bladder, painful and iterative. For patient comfort and indirectly of the operator, an anesthetic management must allow for sedation and analgesia.Depending on the complexity and pain of the gesture, the anesthetic management ranges from simple oral premedication with a sedative (hydroxyzine: Atarax ®), general anesthesia with intubation, through the combination of benzodiazepine and opioid diazanalgésie .A management by resuscitative measures may be indicated before and after the procedure. A patient with obstructive jaundice develops more or less long term intercurrent disorders, whether kidney problems, coagulation, nutritional, infectious and hydro electrolyte.The management of these fragile patients by intensive care to a large extent determines the short-term prognosis.Goal of treatment

    
* Fight against infection.
    
* Treatment of metabolic disturbances.
    
* Treatment of shock.
    
* Treatment of renal failure.Fight against infectionIndicated by the antibiotic in all cases, the choice should be based on theoretical data of the susceptibility, but in fact the antibiotic should be implemented before or known the results of blood cultures using antibiotics to eliminate bladder, active against gram-negative bacilli (usually found in cholangitis) and administered parenting [2].The choice of these antibiotics may be modified secondarily according to the nature of the organism found in blood culture and susceptibility data.Antibiotic therapy should cover all the intestinal bacteria, including common germs: E coli (39%), Klebsiella (54%), Enterobacter (34%), Enterococci (34%), Streptococci D.

It is best if it fails to change the antibiotic rather than increasing the dose thoughtlessly.

Gentamicin has a significant nephrotoxicity, which should be assessed by the occurrence of renal failure.

Treatment of metabolic disturbances

It seeks a balanced diet and hydroelectric satisfactory. Prevention or correction of dehydration is provided by a supply of water and electrolytes in amounts appropriate to the data of clinical and biological.

Maintaining proper kidney function based on the correction of circulatory abnormalities and hydro electrolyte, the use of renal replacement therapy is sometimes necessary.

Treatment of shockThe sequence of events clearly indicates that hemodynamic hypovolemia plays a fundamental role in the onset of septic shock, so the first treatment goal should be to restore blood volume and the increase in this one as much as is necessary, but always under constant surveillance of the PVC that should remain below 10 cm of water because the risk of pulmonary edema is real [7].This treatment is based primarily on volume replacement using:

    
* Fresh frozen plasma + + +
    
* Sang HK especially if <30% (RBC)
    
* Albumin: Fight against hypoalbuminemia secondary to septic shock. Maintaining a normal colloid osmotic pressure to reduce the risk of PAO.
    
* Colloids: Plasmagel, Dextran
    
* Crystalloids: hypertonic saline in cases of a hydroelectric disorders and acid-baseIf signs of shock persist, and when the central venous pressure (PVC) rises above 15 cm of water demonstrates incompetence myocardial must use the cardio and vasoactive drugs:- Dopamine (2-5mg/kg/mn):

    
* Increases intrinsic myocardial contractility and heart rate.
    
* Vasodilation in the kidneys and splanchnic.
    
* Vasoconstriction moderate muscle and skin vessels.- Dobutamine:

    
* Predominantly positive inotropic action
    
* Little effect tachycardisant
    
* No renal dilatationTreatment of renal failureDefinition: Renal failure is [31]:

    
* Linked to decreased renal perfusion without cellular injury.
    
* The extension in time predisposes to the occurrence of acute tubular necrosis.
    
* Is rapidly reversible when the underlying cause is corrected.
    
* The most common form of acute renal failure.
    
* Frequent postoperative contexts (hypovolemia, drugs) and in the elderly because of their predisposition to hypovolemia and the presence of atherosclerotic renal disease.Regardless of any treatment of the case, the therapy of acute renal failure is inconceivable that a specialized, it focuses on the treatment of complications:Extracellular hyperhydration:Especially complicated forms oligo-anuric:* Diet: fluid restriction <500 ml / day, sodium and 4 g / d;* Loop diuretic: Furosemide in high doses;* On failure and persistent anuria in 24 hours, indicative of renal replacement therapy with ultrafiltration.Metabolic acidosis:- To correct if decompensated or if clinical impact.- Need to correct hypocalcemia in advance because of increased risk.In the absence of congestive heart failure or pulmonary edema:* Infusion of sodium bicarbonate.- If it is severe (bicarbonate = 10 mmol / l), indicative of renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis.Fight against hyperkalemia (KAYEXALATE ®).Correction of hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia:- Administration of calcium carbonate.- These disorders are effectively treated in an institution of renal replacement therapy.Indications for renal replacement therapy?In emergencies, when the prognosis is at stakeIn contexts of severe ARI, anuric, with the following events:

    
* Hyperhydratation extracellular with pulmonary edema, severe hypertension.
    
* Hyperkalemia symptoms (clinically or electrical anomalies).
    
* Severe metabolic acidosis (bicarbonate = 10 mmol / l, pH <7.2).
    
* Greater nitrogen retention.Presence of new-onset neuropsychiatric disorders:* Hemodialysis is the method used in emergency situations. The vascular access is obtained after implantation of deep venous catheters: internal jugular or femoral;* The first session should be brief (02 hours) to avoid severe neurological disorders associated with too rapid correction of electrolyte disturbances.
