Assessment of intensivists' knowledge on abdominal compartment syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : Early recognition of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is essential, as delay in the diagnosis may induce a negative impact on prognosis. However, there are some evidences suggesting a low level of knowledge concerning ACS in intensive care units (ICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the intensivist's knowledge on ACS. METHODS We distributed 49 questionna...
متن کاملRecognition and management of abdominal compartment syndrome among German pediatric intensivists: results of a national survey
INTRODUCTION Several decades ago, the beneficial effects of goal-directed therapy, which include decompressive laparotomy (DL) and open abdomen procedures in cases of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in children, were proven in the context of closures of abdominal wall defects and large-for-size organ transplantations. Different neonatologic and pediatric disease patterns are also known to be...
متن کاملAbdominal compartment syndrome
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) associated with organ dysfunction defines the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) adversely impacts pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, splanchnic, musculoskeletal/integumentary, and central nervous system physiology. The combination of IAH and disordered physiology results in a clinical syndrome with significant morbidi...
متن کاملAbdominal compartment syndrome.
Acute renal failure frequently occurs in the intensive care unit as a primary or secondary event in association with trauma, surgery, or comorbid medical disease. An increasingly common thread linking surgical and medical disease management is the abdominal compartment syndrome. In particular, the rise of early goal-directed therapy for the initial resuscitation and management of severe sepsis ...
متن کاملAbdominal Compartment Syndrome
Abdominal compartment syndrome is a potentially lethal condition caused by any event that produces intra-abdominal hypertension; the most common cause is blunt abdominal trauma. Increasing intraabdominal pressure causes progressive hypoperfusion and ischemia of the intestines and other peritoneal and retroperitoneal structures. Pathophysiological effects include release of cytokines, formation ...
