Abstract
Peritoneal lavage in experimental pancreatitis under the conditions of this study seems to offer some protection. While the mortality between animals with and without lavage supports this thesis, the appearance of the animals twenty-four hours after pancreatitis was even more striking. Chemistry determinations have not allowed any conclusions concerning the severity of the induced pancreatitis nor its probable lethality. Studies on the peritoneal fluid show it to be very similar to serum except in protein content. The protein is an albumin-like substance but its characteristics are not yet defined. The question arises as to the possible role of this protein in the toxicity of experimental pancreatitis.
