Management of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome: a review
UNLABELLED Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at risk of developing of intra abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). AIM This review seeks to define IAH and ACS, identify the aetiology and presentation of IAH and ACS, identify IAP measurement techniques, identify current management and discuss the implications of IAH and ACS for nursing practice. A se...
متن کاملCurrent insights in intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome
A compartment syndrome exists when increased pressure in a closed anatomic space threatens the viability of the tissue within the compartment. When this occurs in the abdominal cavity it threatens not only the function of the intra-abdominal organs, but it can have a devastating effect on distant organs as well. Recent animal and human data suggest that the adverse effects of elevated intra-abd...
متن کاملIntra-abdominal hypertension and the abdominal compartment syndrome.
The pressure within the abdominal cavity is normally little more than atmospheric pressure. However, even small increases in intra-abdominal pressure can have adverse effects on renal function, cardiac output, hepatic blood flow, respiratory mechanics, splanchnic perfusion and intracranial pressure. Although intra-abdominal pressure can be measured directly, this is invasive and bedside measure...
متن کاملIntra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome: A review of current concept and trends
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) have been a cause of complications in ICU patients, especially those of trauma and acute abdomen. ACS affects almost every system of the body namely the cardiac, respiratory, renal, CNS and the GIT. It has been under-recognized as it primarily affects patients who are already critically ill and the organ dysfunction may...
متن کاملIs the evolving management of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome improving survival?
OBJECTIVE The diagnosis and management of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome have changed significantly over the past decade with improved understanding of the pathophysiology and appropriate treatment of these disease processes. Serial intra-abdominal pressure measurements, nonoperative pressure-reducing interventions, and early abdominal decompression for refracto...
