Abstract
We recently encountered a patient with complete traumatic disruption of the pancreas due to a traffic accident, complicated with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and we discussed the case with reference to the literature.<br> The patient was a 40-year-old man, who was injured in a head-on crash while driving his car when severely drunk. As a result of various examinations including CT, etc., damage to the pancreas was suspected, but conservative treatment was started because his general condition was relatively stable. However, three days after injury, hypoxemia and dyspnea appeared and continued thereafter, and accordingly, the patient was diagnosed as having ARDS from plain chest roentgenography findings. Although respiratory management was carried out with the use of a respirator, it proved ineffective. Surgery was therefore undertaken for the damaged pancreas under the assumption that this was the cause of the condition. As a result, ARDS gradually improved, and the patient was subsequently discharged from hospital. For the treatment of ARDS, it thus sems most important to remove the cause of the condition.
