Intra-abdominal pressure and associated factors in patients admitted to critical care units
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Despite the impact of increased abdominal hypertension on organ dysfunction and ‎increased mortality, data on the frequency and its related risk factors in critical care unit does not ‎seem enough. While studies have shown that patients’ intra-abdominal pressure measured at ‎admission to intensive care unit can serve as an independent prognostic factor for mortality and ‎assess impacts of IAH on organ function.‎ Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of increased abdominal hypertension and its ‎related factors in patients hospitalized in ICUs.‎ Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive –analytical study was conducted on ‎‏76‏‎ intensive care unit ‎patients in one o f the teaching hospitals in city of Rasht. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured ‎every ‎‏8‏‎ hours for a ‎‏24‏‎-hour period through a Foley catheter (Korn method). Instrument used ‎consisted of three parts: first part covered personal data (age, gender, Body Mass Index, disease ‎diagnosis), second part included continuous assessment of organ dysfunction scale (respiratory ‎condition, liver, kidney, hemodynamic, and level of conscious) and third part covered data related ‎to IAH and accompanying variables(mean arterial pressure, abdominal perfusion pressure, peak ‎airway pressure, maximum airway pressure, plateau pressure and positive end expiratory pressure) ‎and demographic data, type of diagnosis, SOFA score, central venous pressure, mean airway ‎pressure was recorded.‎ Result: Findings showed that the frequency of intra-abdominal hypertension was ‎‏18.42‏percent. ‎Also Step wise regression method showed that the mean arterial pressure of ‎‏1.02‏‎ times can increase ‎intra abdominal pressure. ‎ Conclusion: Intra-abdominal pressure as a factor affecting the performance of other organs in ‎patients in intensive care units is important and it's recommended that intra-abdominal pressure to be ‎measured routinely in critically ill patients and through this prevent abdominal compartment ‎syndrome and its complications.‎

متن کاملAssociation between Red Cell Distribution Width and Mortality in Pediatric Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units
Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a routine laboratory measure that could be used as a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients. Identification of patients at risk for mortality early in the course of PICU admission is an important step in improving the outcome. We aimed to assess the use of RDW as an early biomarker for outcome in pediatric critical illnesses. Methods:...

BACKGROUND Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) results in dysfunction of vital organs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical ventilation mode on IAP. METHODS In a cohort study, a total of 60 patients aged 20-70 years who were admitted to the ICU and underwent mechanical ventilation were recruited. Mechanical ventilation included one of the three modes: Bip...
