INTRODUCTION
This is a case of patient RP, 34 years ols, male, admitted on august 10, 2007, with the
presenting diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Failure secondary to sepsis secondary to acute
necrotizing pancreatitis; Diabetes Mellitus type II secondary to acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Under the care of the XUSN4 of block NC and NG during the I.C.U. rotation in Maria Reyna
Hospital.
Acute pancreatitis is defined as an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas with
variable involvement of other regional tissues or remote organ systems. In acute pancreatitis,
protease trypsinogen enzyme, produced by the exocrine pancreas, converts into active trypsin;
the enzyme most responsible for auto-digestion of the pancreas, causes primarily the pain and
complications of pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is classified further into mild and severe forms. Mild acute pancreatitis
is associated with minimal organ dysfunction and uneventful recovery. Severe acute pancreatitis
is associated with pancreatic necrosis and may lead to organ failure or local complications.
The International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis in 1992 defined pancreatic necrosis
as the presence of one or more diffuse or focal areas of nonviable pancreatic parenchyma, which
is often associated with peripancreatic fat necrosis. By definition, pancreatic necrosis represents
a severe form of acute pancreatitis.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, previously known as adult-onset diabetes, maturity-onset
diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)—is due to a combination of
defective insulin secretion and insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity (defective
responsiveness of tissues to insulin), which almost certainly involves the insulin receptor in cell
membranes. In short, Type 2 diabetes occurs when your pancreas does not make enough insulin
or is unable to use the insulin effectively. When the body does not make enough insulin or has
trouble using insulin, the cells do not absorb enough sugar from the blood - leading to high blood
sugar levels and diabetes.
This disease condition occurred from pancreatic insulin producing beta cell damage. Beta
cells (beta-cells, β-cells) are a type of cell in the pancreas in areas called the islets of Langerhans.
They make up 65-80% of the cells in the islets. These cells are responsible in making and
releasing insulin, a hormone that controls the level of glucose in the blood.

Respiratory failure is a syndrome in which the respiratory system fails in one or both of
its gas exchange functions: oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination. In practice, respiratory
failure is defined as a PaO2 value of less than 60 mm Hg while breathing air, or a PaCO2 of more
than 50 mm Hg. Furthermore, acute respiratory failure is characterized by life-threatening
derangements in arterial blood gases and acid-base status.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is the rapid breakdown of renal (kidney) function that occurs
when high levels of uremic toxins (waste products of the body's metabolism) accumulate in the
blood. This disease condition occurs when the kidneys are unable to excrete the daily load of
toxins in the urine.
The above mentioned disease conditions is a brief overview of the presenting diagnosis
of the patient. Thorough discussion of the presenting diagnosis shall be reflected in Anatomy &
Physiology and in Pathophysiology.

General objective
At the end of one hour of case presentation, we will be able to improve our knowledge in various
concepts related to our patient’s condition, and skills in careful assessment and rendering of
nursing interventions involved in the management of our client’s case; and develop positive
attitudes by cooperation and sense of teamwork as we accomplish our case study using concepts
that we have acquired from our NCM 104 classes and previous related subjects in the BSN and
AHSE curriculum.
Specific objectives
1. Perform a thorough assessment and careful gathering of data that are clinically significant
and will be utilized as reliable cues for our care plans.
2. Further completion of data that will supplement our assessment, such as laboratory
results, doctor’s orders and monitoring sheets.
3. Trace and familiarize the pathophysiology of our patient’s disease process.
4. Design individualized nursing care plans based on nursing diagnoses that are suitable and
feasible to carry out.
5. Carry out nursing interventions that are effective, reality based, time-bounded, achievable
and beneficial for our client.
6. Come up with a medical management, a prognosis, and a discharge plan that are suitable
and individually designed as well as clinically and scientifically based.
7. Develop a sense of teamwork in coming up with the case study by division of labor and
merging of ideas to establish data consistency.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The study focuses on the assessment, anatomy, and pathophysiology and its diagram,
medical management-both ideal and actual, nursing care plans, ideal discharge plan, prognosis,
recommendation and conclusion revolving around the diagnosis of the patient which is Acute
Respiratory Failure secondary to sepsis secondary to acute necrotizing pancreatitis; Diabetes
Mellitus type II secondary to acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Noted complications in the
Respiratory System and Urinary System were also taken into consideration to better understand
the said disease condition.
This study is limited only to the available records found on the patient’s chart and the
information being provided for by the family members present at the patient’s room during the

PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT
NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
On the first assessment, patient was conscious and able to respond by nodding. He
manifested weak lower extremities and because of this, pillows are placed under the legs to
prevent any further discomfort. He was oriented to the place but not the time. His speech and
swallowing is compromised because of the presence of a mechanical ventilation. Pupils were
4mm in size with the Right pupil sluggish and Left pupil briskly reactive to light
accommodation.
Upon second assessment, RP had no mechanical ventilation attached to him however
patient still had difficulty in vocalization with episodes of irritability and disorientation because
he could not identify some of his relatives. Both pupils briskly reactive to light accommodation
and 3mm in size. Weakness still noted in extremities.
RESPIRATORY ASSESSMENT
On the first assessment, patient RP was hooked on mechanical ventilator but is not fully
dependent on it; the mode was set only to assist and control. Crackles noted on both lungs , there
was deep labored breathing accompanied by the use of accessory muscles.
11
On the second assessment, crackles still present and RP is coughing ineffectively due to
post-extubation and white secretions noted in RP’s oral cavity. Lips and mucous membranes are
pale but respirations are normal.
CARDIOVASCULAR ASSESSMENT
RP has a heart rate of 119bpm and was noted with sinus tachycardia.
PERIPHERAL-VASCULAR ASSESSMENT
Partial range of motion noted in the lower extremities. Weak and thready pulse was noted
especially in the lower extremities.
GENITOURINARY ASSESSMENT
RP was on a Foley Bag Catheter with urine clear and color yellow. Based on lab results,
presence of ketones was noted (40mg/dL). There was scrotal inflammation with minimal whitish
discharges.
Upon second assessment, there was an increase in urine output noted (O=870cc,
I=740cc). RP still on catheter and on diaper. Blister formation noted at the scrotal and sacral
area.
MUSKULOSKELETAL ASSESSMENT
There was full range of motion in RP’s upper extremities but with the lower, only partial.
Weakness was noted on the lower extremities.
SKIN ASSESSMENT
Oral mucosa was noted to be dry and lips were scaly and dry. Skin is intact except on the
right arm due to the presence of CVP catheter and on the three toes of his right leg due to
presence of blisters with sizes ranging from 6mm-8mm in diameter.
12
On the second assessment, blisters were still evident on the R toes but with additional
blister formation on the Right heel, scrotal and sacral area. Skin is dry.

ROLE RELATIONSHIP PATTERN AND DISCHARGE PLAN
13
RP is fully dependent on the mother who resides in Germany due to the fact that he has
no work and has been unemployed for quite some time. He lives in Gran Europa with his 5
siblings and their families. They will also be the ones assisting RP when at home. Patient seems
to anticipate in returning home however, no order was made yet for any discharge due to further
evaluation and treatment. Patient RP is not in need of a social welfare service because the mother
who works abroad is able to compensate for the medical services.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
The Pancreas
The pancreas is an endocrine and exocrine organ located retroperitoneally in the upper
abdomen overlying the spine. It is a glandular organ that secretes digestive enzymes and
hormones. In humans, the pancreas is a yellowish organ about 7 in. (17.8 cm) long and 1.5 in.
(3.8 cm) wide. It lies beneath the stomach and is connected to the small intestine at the
duodenum. The pancreas is supplied by the gastroduodenal arteries and by branches of the
splenic artery. The splenic vein and artery run superiorly and posteriorly; the mesenteric vein
lies in the angle between the head and body of the gland. At this point the superior mesenteric
vein and splenic vein join to form the portal vein.
Most of
the
pancreatic tissue consists of grapelike clusters of cells that produce a clear fluid (pancreatic
juice) that flows into the duodenum through a common duct along with bile from the liver.
Pancreatic juice contains three digestive enzymes: tryptase, amylase, and lipase that, along with
intestinal enzymes, complete the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, respectively.
Scattered among the enzyme-producing cells of the pancreas are small groups of endocrine
cells, called the islets of Langerhans, that secrete two hormones, insulin and glucagon. The
pancreatic islets contain several types of cells: alpha-2 cells, which produce the hormone
Figure 1. Relationships and blood supply of pancreas.
16
glucagon; beta cells, which manufacture the hormone insulin; and alpha-1 cells, which produce
the regulatory agent somatostatin. These hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream,
and together, they regulate the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers the blood sugar level
and increases the amount of glycogen (stored carbohydrate) in the liver; glucagon has the
opposite action. Failure of the insulin-secreting cells to function properly results in diabetes,
which can occur in two major forms, the division being between juvenile onset and onset in
maturity.
The exocrine portion of the pancreas accounts for about 80% of the total glandular
volume. It consists of at least two functional units: acinar cells, which secrete primarily digestive
enzymes; and centroacinar or ductal cells, which secrete fluids and electrolytes. Pancreatic
secretion is regulated by several peptides that are released from the gastrointestinal tract. Some
of these peptides, such as secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK), stimulate pancreatic secretions,
whereas somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide inhibit their release. The pancreas secretes
about 20 digestive enzymes and cofactors. Some enzymes are activated in the duodenum by
enterokinases and calcium. These enzymes account for most of the intraluminal digestion of
dietary proteins, triglycerides and carbohydrates. They are also important in the cleavage of
certain vitamins (such as A and B12) from carrier molecules, thereby allowing them to be
absorbed efficiently. Because pancreatic enzymes are secreted in great excess, maldigestion and
serious nutritional deficiencies occur only when over 90% of the gland has been destroyed.
The Cardiovascular System
The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated
blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump, with the right side
receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low pressure and pumping it to the lungs (the
pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping
it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation).
The myocardium (cardiac muscle) is a specialized form of muscle, consisting of
individual cells joined by electrical connections. The contraction of each cell is produced by a
rise in intracellular calcium concentration leading to spontaneous depolarization, and as each cell
17
is electrically connected to its neighbor, contraction of one cell leads to a wave of depolarization
and contraction across the myocardium.
This depolarization and contraction of the heart is controlled by a specialized group of
cells localized in the sino-atrial node in the right atrium- the pacemaker cells.
1. These cells generate a rhythmical depolarization, which then spreads out over the atria to
the atrio-ventricular node.
2. The atria then contract, pushing blood into the ventricles.
3. The electrical conduction passes via the Atrio-ventricular node to the bundle of His,
which divides into right and left branches and then spreads out from the base of the
ventricles across the myocardium.
4. This leads to a 'bottom-up' contraction of the ventricles, forcing blood up and out into the
pulmonary artery (right) and aorta (left).
5. The atria then re-fill as the myocardium relaxes.
The 'squeeze' is called systole and normally lasts for about 250ms. The relaxation period,
when the atria and ventricles re-fill, is called diastole; the time given for diastole depends on the
heart rate.
The Respiratory System
The respiratory system is
situated in the thorax, and is
responsible for gaseous exchange
18
between the circulatory system and the outside world. Air is taken
in via the upper airways (the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx)
through the lower airways (trachea, primary bronchi and bronchial
tree) and into the small bronchioles and alveoli within the lung
tissue.
The lungs are divided into lobes; The left lung is composed of the
upper lobe, the lower lobe and the lingula (a small remnant next to
the apex of the heart), the right lung is composed of the upper, the
middle and the lower lobes.
Mechanics of Breathing
To take a breath in, the external intercostal muscles contract, moving the ribcage up and
out. The diaphragm moves down at the same time, creating negative pressure within the thorax.
The lungs are held to the thoracic wall by the pleural membranes, and so expand outwards as
well. This creates negative pressure within the lungs, and so air rushes in through the upper and
lower airways.
Expiration is mainly due to the natural elasticity of the lungs, which tend to collapse if
they are not held against the thoracic wall. This is the mechanism behind lung collapse if there is
air in the pleural space (pneumothorax).
Physiology of Gas Exchange
Each branch of the bronchial tree eventually sub-divides to form very narrow terminal
bronchioles, which terminate in the alveoli. There are many millions of alveoli in each lung, and
these are the areas responsible for gaseous exchange, presenting a massive surface area for
exchange to occur over.
Each alveolus is very closely associated with a network of capillaries containing
deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary artery. The capillary and alveolar walls are very thin,
allowing rapid exchange of gases by passive diffusion along concentration gradients. CO2 moves
into the alveolus as the concentration is much lower in the alveolus than in the blood, and O 2
19
moves out of the alveolus as the continuous flow of blood through the capillaries prevents
saturation of the blood with O2 and allows maximal transfer across the membrane.
Control of Respiration
0ur respiratory rate changes. When active, for example, respiratory rate goes up; when
less active, or sleeping, the rate goes down. Also, even though the respiratory muscles are
voluntary, we can't consciously control them when we are sleeping.
The rhythmicity center of the medulla:
controls automatic breathing
consists of interacting neurons that fire either during inspiration (I neurons) or expiration
(E neurons)
o I neurons - stimulate neurons that innervate respiratory muscles (to bring about
inspiration)
o E neurons - inhibit I neurons (to 'shut down' the I neurons & bring about
expiration)
Apneustic center (located in the pons) - stimulate I neurons (to promote inspiration) Pneumotaxic
center (also located in the pons) - inhibits apneustic center & inhibits inspiration
Factors involved in increasing respiratory rate:
Chemoreceptors - located in aorta & carotid arteries (peripheral chemoreceptors) & in the
medulla (central chemoreceptors)
Chemoreceptors (stimulated more by increased CO2 levels than by decreased O2 levels)
> stimulate Rhythmicity Area > Result = increased rate of respiration

NARRATIVE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is the acute inflammation and necrosis of pancreas
parenchyma and focal enzymic necrosis of pancreatic fat and vessels. It is known to be
precipitated by chronic alcoholism. Other factors such as obesity and sedentary lifestyle are also
known to contribute to the development of the condition. It is common in people 30-40 years of
age and in those who take drugs such as Thiazide diuretics and steroids for drug therapy.
Given these factors, there will be partial obstruction of the sphincter of Oddi which leads
to obstruction to the outflow of pancreatic enzymes and leakage of these enzymes to pancreatic
tissues. Along with premature activation of these enzymes, autodigestion occurs, leading to acute
necrotizing pancreatitis.
Pancreatic enzymes may also leak into the blood stream and circulate into the lungs and
kidneys, prompting the release of proinflammatory mediators. These pancreatic enzymes and
mediators such as kinins increase vascular permeability and dilate blood vessels, further leading
to loss of plasma volume and increased permeability to protein. Increased permeability to protein
can lead to loss of albumin causing hypoalbuminemia. Loss of albumin stimulates lipoprotein
synthesis by the liver leading to hyperlipidemia.
Increase in vascular permeability also causes loss of plasma volume which leads to
decrease in blood volume and decreased renal blood flow resulting to ischemia. Toxic oxygen-
free radicals are generated, promoting swelling, injury and necrosis of nephrons. Acute tubular
necrosis occurs leading to decrease in filtration pressure and decrease in GFR resulting to acute
renal failure.
On the other hand, pancreatic enzymes circulating in the blood goes to the lungs causing
injury to the capillary endothelium further leading into disruption of surfactant production by the
22
alveoli and increased capillary permeability. Increase in capillary permeability causes movement
of fluid and plasma protein from capillary to interstitial space (alveolar septum) and alveoli.
Decrease in blood volume (hypovolemia) and pleural effusion then occurs. Pleural effusion
results to pulmonary edema which impairs gas exchange. Blood oxygen level is then decreased
(hypoxemia), resulting to acute respiratory failure.
Another result of acute necrotizing pancreatitis is damage to the alpha and beta cells of
the islet of Langerhans. There is decrease in insulin production and increase in glucagon
production. Decrease in serum insulin level can cause significant increase in blood glucose level,
a condition known as diabetes mellitus type 2. In DM II there is increase in osmolarity and
chronic elevation in blood glucose level. The increase in osmolarity will then lead to increased
capillary permeability leading to increased urine output and decreased body fluids. This will
trigger the thirst mechanism of the body resulting to polydipsia. Chronic elevations in glucose
level, on the other hand, will cause glycoprotein deposits in the cell wall leading to three possible
conditions namely: diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy and impaired immune function.
Thus, increasing the client’s susceptibility to infection.
Production of excess glucagon results to production of glucose from protein and fat stores
(gluconeogenesis). There is wasting of lean body mass and serum ketones (byproduct of
gluconeogenesis) that promote ketosis.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
The medical management of patient RP’s condition focused on alleviating of the
symptoms and treating its underlying causes. The following is a table presenting the ideal
management of the patient’s condition as well as the actual management given to the patient
during his hospital stay.
IDEAL MANAGEMENT ACTUAL MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT FOR ACUTE NECROTIZING PANCREATITIS:
1. Restoration of circulating blood volume with IV crystalloid or colloid solutions or blood products
2. Invasive monitoring in severe pancreatitis
3. Maintenance of adequate oxygenation reduced by pain, anxiety, acidosis, abdominal pressure, or pleural effusions; and adequate respiratory care because of the risk for elevation of the diaphragm, pulmonary infiltrates and effusion, and atelectasis.
4. Pain control to alleviate pain and anxiety, which increases pancreatic secretions
5. Rest of the GI Tracta. Withhold oral feedings to decrease
pancreatic secretionsb. Nasogastric intubation and suction
to relieve gastric stasis and distention
6. Maintenance of alkaline gastric pH with H2 antagonists and antacids to
- Venoclysis of PNSS 1 L, moderate fast drip then regulated at 40 drops per minute, followed by Lactated Ringer’s solution and regulated according to patient’s requirement at left arm
- Venoclysis of Lactated Ringer’s solution @ right arm
- CVP insertion at patient’s bedside, reading was 9 cm H2O
- Endotracheal intubation of the patient- Mechanical ventilation- O2 inhalation of 5 L/min following
endotracheal extubation- Chest X-ray PA- Monitoring of the patient’s Arterial
Blood Gas
- No pain management given
- Patient was NPO temporarily
- Intubation of the patient with a French 16, opened to drain
- Administration of Bactidol (Hexetidine) TID for oral care
- Administration of Ranitidine 50 mg IVTT q12h
25
suppress acid drive of pancreatic secretions and to prevent stress ulcer complications of illness.
7. Nutrition provided with parenteral feedings, as needed
8. Pharmacotherapya. Electrolyte replacement as needed
and Sodium bicarbonate to reverse metabolic acidosis

PROGNOSIS
Early evaluation and risk stratification for patients with acute pancreatitis are
important to differentiate patients with mild versus severe disease because patients with
severe disease often need intensive care treatment. Several scoring systems can predict
the severity of pancreatitis, and recent work has attempted to compare their relative
predictive values.
In most cases, acute pancreatitis goes away on its own after a couple of days with
no complications and no further problems. About 10% of patients develop complications,
such as a pseudocyst or abscess in the pancreas,that may require monitoring or additional
treatment.
Pancreatitis caused by heavy drinking is likely to come back if drinking
continues. Over time, permanent damage may be done to the pancreas, and a chronic
form of the disease may develop
Patients usually recover fully from acute pancreatitis and do not experience
recurrence if the cause is removed. Alcohol consumption should be eliminated even if it
is not the determined as the cause of the disease. Smoking, which stresses the body's
defenses against inflammation, should be stopped. If gallstones were the cause, then
removal of the gallbladder is required to prevent further attacks. For those patients in
whom a cause is not readily identified, there should be consideration of other diagnostic
testing such as endoscopic ultrasound.
75
CONCLUSION
Nursing care and management of the client with type 2 diabetes mellitus is both
complex and challenging. Especially that the disease is already severe and with
complications present. Compliance to the medication regimen could be a burden to the
family considering that it needs be strict and lifelong. Having a thorough understanding
of the pathophysiologic changes, knowing what to expect clinically and becoming
familiar with the standards of care, patient education in reference to the nature of the
disease, as well as educating the client’s significant others is essential for the better
understanding of the client’s condition. Hence, patient education in conjunction with the
nursing care could be a great factor in achieving positive outcomes. As student nurses, we
are responsible for developing an individualized plan of care that reflects the client’s
medications, diet and physical activity during the development and progression of
different phases of recovery. Not only would the health teachings be directed to the
patient himself but to the significant others as well.
The group would have had a complete and productive evaluation of patient RP’s
condition and his progress if we were able to conduct a home visit however, due to the
wrong information provided, i.e. address given by SO and as stated in the chart, the group
wasn’t able to do so. Some members of the group went to the specified location (Grand
Europa) but upon arrival to the area, the address particularly the block/street and lot was
not present or in existence. The group also tried calling up the patient or his SO through
the phone information but there were no record of the names of our patient and SO
(sister).
76
Recommendation
The proponents of this case analysis recommend that further study will be made
on the different diagnosis of the patient. In order for the health care providers including
nurses and student nurses will be equipped with knowledge, skills and attitude in
rendering care for patients having this type of diseases. Further study about these diseases
will help the family who have relative’s having this type of multiple disease, will have
better understanding about this condition, In order that they could better take care of their
family member.
This study is also recommended for nursing students who will conduct case
presentation that they will be able to have a flow on the proponents needed for a case
presentation. They will be equipped with knowledge, skills and attitude in conducting a
case presentation especially in making a thorough assessment of their patient.
It is also of high consideration that further evaluation be done to determine the
progress and compliance of the patient to the out-patient treatment regimen like being
able to conduct a home visit. Aside from this, the sources of data for this case
presentation is only limited to the assessments, laboratory results, patient’s chart and
personal interview with the patient, as well as on his significant others thus, other sources
of data, such as personal interview with the patient’s attending physician must also be
done for more information regarding the patient’s condition. Progression of the patient’s
recovery must also be monitored and documented regularly to determine the necessary
changes and improvement of patient’s care. Nevertheless, this case presentation is
recommended to be used as a reference for future studies about type 2 diabetes mellitus.
