Identifying patients at risk for high-grade intra-abdominal hypertension following trauma laparotomy.
BACKGROUND Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is an uncommon but deleterious complication after trauma laparotomy. Early recognition of patients at risk of developing ACS is crucial for their outcome. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of patients who developed high-grade intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) (i.e., grade III or IV; intra-abdominal pressure, IAP >20 mm Hg) ...

With the current use of screening technology, such as computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis, ultrasound, and laboratory evaluations, it is unclear which patients require observation. The objective of th...
متن کاملIdentifying patients at high risk for poor outcome after intra-arterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial recanalization therapy (IAT) is increasingly used for acute stroke. Despite high rates of recanalization, the outcome is variable. We attempted to identify predictors of outcome that will enable better patient selection for IAT. METHODS All patients who underwent IAT at the University of Texas Houston Stroke Center were reviewed. Poor outcome was defined ...
