Overview
Medical management of peritonitis includes hydration, prevention of septicemia, and correction of electrolytes. Empiric coverage for gram positive, gram negative, and anaerobic bacteria should be initiated promptly while awaiting culture results. Either open abdominal surgery or an exploratory laparotomy is recommended.
Medical Therapy
For secondary peritonitis appropriate use of antimicrobial regimen, serves as an adjunctive treatment to surgical intervention.[1]
