[Experience in intensive therapy of diffuse peritonitis in children].

The authors analyze their experience gained in the treatment of diffuse peritonitis in 51 children. The principal components of intensive therapy were effective antibacterial therapy, infusion therapy and parental feeding, prolonged peridural blocking and drug-induced sympathetic blocking, autotransfusions of UV-irradiated blood, and hemoperfusion. The activity of the gastrointestinal tract recovered in all the 51 patients, their clinical and laboratory parameters normalized, and the children were discharged in good condition.
