Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Southern Medical Journal, 1998The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a newly appreciated and potentially fatal consequence of increased intra-abdominal pressure. It can be due to either trauma or surgery, as well as numerous medical conditions. Prolonged, unrelieved elevation of intra-abdominal pressure can produce pulmonary compromise, renal impairment, cardiac failure, shock,

Abdominal Compartment Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Critical Care Clinics, 2016 Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are rare but potentially morbid diagnoses. Clinical index of suspicion for these disorders should be raised following massive resuscitation, abdominal wall reconstruction/injury, and in those with space-occupying disorders in the abdomen.

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2006Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a systemic syndrome involving derangement in cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory and renal functions as a result of sustained increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) ending in multi-organ failure. It is a life threatening emergency and requires prompt action and treatment.

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1995Abdominal compartment syndrome is still a controversial entity. We report on a patient who developed the classical hemodynamic, respiratory, and renal changes of abdominal compartment syndrome after surgical intervention for blunt abdominal trauma. A decompressive laparotomy improved the situation dramatically.

The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
2010A compartment syndrome exists when increased pressure in a closed anatomic space threatens the viability of surrounding tissue. When this occurs in the abdominal cavity, the impact on end-organ function within and outside the cavity can be devastating. The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is not a disease, but a clinic syndrome that has many causes

CARDIOVASCULAR IMPLICATIONS OF ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
Acta Clinica Belgica, 2007Cardiovascular dysfunction and failure are commonly encountered in the patient with intraabdominal hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome. Accurate assessment and optimization of preload, contractility, and afterload, in conjunction with appropriate goal-directed resuscitation and abdominal decompression when indicated, are essential to ...

THE ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
Surgical Clinics of North America, 19961. ACS is caused by an acute increase in intra-abdominal pressure, usually as a result of intra-abdominal hemorrhage. 2. The most common and significant complications are respiratory and renal failure. 3. Abdominal decompression promptly reverses the complications of ACS. 4. Failure to recognize and treat ACS is inevitably fatal.
