Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2006
Abdominal 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, 1995
Abdominal 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

2010
A 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

THE ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1996
1. 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.

Abdominal compartment syndrome.

Minerva chirurgica, 2010
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are frequently encountered in critically ill patients and carry a high morbidity and mortality risk. Despite these facts, IAH/ACS are still overlooked by many physicians and therefore timely diagnosis is not made and treatment is often inadequate. All clinicians should be aware

Abdominal compartment syndrome: A review

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2009
The aims of this review were to summarize a) the consensus definitions of normal and pathologic intra-abdominal pressure (IAP); b) the techniques to measure IAP; c) the risk factors for intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS); d) the pathophysiology of ACS; and e) the current recommendations for management and ...

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Children

Critical Care Nurse, 2012
Abdominal compartment syndrome is defined as sustained intra-abdominal pressure greater than 20 mm Hg (with or without abdominal perfusion pressure <60 mm Hg) associated with new organ failure or dysfunction. The syndrome is associated with 90% to 100% mortality if not recognized and treated in a timely manner.

Abdominal compartment syndrome

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2005
Intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), the pathophysiologic implications of elevated intraabdominal pressure (IAP), have detrimental effects on all organ systems and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
