background during laparoscopy, insufflation of an inert gas in the peritoneal cavity creates a working space to facilitate surgery. the space should be large enough to facilitate surgery without increasing intra-abdominal pressure (iap) over a threshold limit (usually 15 mm hg). objectives this experimental study was performed to evaluate the effects of increasing in intra-abdominal pressure on...

The last several decades have seen many advances in the recognition and prevention of the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and its precursor, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). There has also been a relative explosion of knowledge in the critical care, trauma, and surgical populations, and the inception of a society dedicated to its understanding, the World Society of the Abdominal Compart...

Rat cystometry is increasingly being used in research on overactive bladder and is a research tool for investigating bladder functions during the storage and voiding phases. Measurement of the pressure in the bladder is an essential part of cystometry, although that pressure is the sum of both detrusor and intra-abdominal pressures. In anesthetic cystometry, measurement of the intra-abdominal p...

"Intra-abdominal hypertension", the presence of elevated intra-abdominal pressure, and "abdominal compartment syndrome", the development of pressure-induced organ-dysfunction and failure, have been increasingly recognized over the past decade as causes of significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill surgical and medical patients. Elevated intra-abdominal pressure can cause significa...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantify the interaction between increased intra-abdominal pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure. METHODS In 30 mechanically ventilated ICU patients with a fixed tidal volume, respiratory system plateau and abdominal pressure were measured at a Positive-End Expiratory Pressure level of zero and 10 cm H2O. The measurements were repeated after plac...

background: pneumoperitoneum results in respiratory and hemodynamic changes. it is unknown whether hemodynamic changes that last to the recovery room could change recovery criteria. to determine the effect of decrease in intra-abdominal pressure on discharge criteria after laparascopic cholecystectomy. methods: patients with age 25-65 who were candidated for elective laparascopy cholecystectomy...

BACKGROUND Patients in the intensive care unit are at risk of developing intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome. AIM To describe the relation between Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) vs. intra-abdominal pressure and the relation between SOFA and risk factors for intra-abdominal hypertension. METHOD In accordance with the recommendations of the World Societ...

Accumulation of intra-abdominal fat is related to hypertension. Despite this, a relationship between hypertension and intra-abdominal fat in young adulthood is not clear. In this study, we verify whether intra-abdominal fat accumulation increases a hypertension risk in young adult subjects.In a cross-sectional study, intra-abdominal fat area was measured using a dual bioelectrical impedance ana...
