Acute pancreatitis is a common urgency with a mortality rate of up to 30% , decreased blood
flow in the pancreatic microcirculation. It seems to be the main cause of the pathophysiology
of acute pancreatitis. Today, there have been many attempts in the management of pancreatitis
but no established management seems to be ideal. The epidural block is an anesthetic
technique used to provide highly peri and post-operative analgesia, also plays an important
role in improving the gastrointestinal vascular perfusion (due to sympathetic blockade that
this technique produces) so this anesthetic technique is proposed as an alternative to both
clinical treatment as an analgesic for acute pancreatitis.
