A Pilot Study Comparing Percutaneous Decompression With Decompressive Laparotomy for Acute Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Thermal Injury

Journal of Burn Care and Research, 2002
Abstract Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) has multiple causes, and decompressive laparotomy has been the most frequent modality to prevent worsening cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal function. This pilot study evaluated the utility of percutaneous drainage (PD) of peritoneal fluid compared with decompressive laparotomy in burn ...

Hypothermic cardiac arrest rescued with cardiopulmonary bypass and decompressive laparotomy

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2010
Hypothermic cardiac arrest is a relatively uncommon presentation to United States Emergency Departments. During 1979-2002, the Centers for Disease Control reported that an average of 689 deaths per year in the US were attributed to exposure to excessive natural cold. Severe hypothermia (

Bedside Laparotomy and Decompression of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

2018
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is defined as a sustained intra-abdominal pressure, as measured with bladder pressure, >12 mmHg in adults or >10 mmHg in children. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as a sustained bladder pressure >20 mmHg in adults or >10 mmHg in children, combined with evidence of new organ dysfunction or failure, i.e.,

Decompressive Laparotomy to Treat Intractable Intracranial Hypertension after Traumatic Brain Injury

Journal of Trauma, 2004
Increases in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) can cause increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). Recently, we noticed that abdominal fascial release could be useful in treating intracranial hypertension (ICH) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We added this as an option in our treatment of TBI.In our institution, ICH is treated with an algorithm using ...

Decompressive Laparotomy for Refractory Intracranial Hypertension After Traumatic Brain Injury

Neurocritical Care, 2011
Intracranial hypertension is a crucial modifiable risk factor for poor outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Limited evidence suggests that decompressive laparotomy may be an effective treatment for refractory ICH in patients who have elevated intra-abdominal pressure.Case report.We present a multi-trauma patient who sustained severe TBI in a ...

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Severe Acute Pancreatitis: An Indication for a Decompressing Laparotomy?

Digestive Surgery, 2002
<i>Background:</i> The currently prevailing paradigm calls for non-operative management of severe acute pancreatitis for as long as there is no evidence of infection. Our purpose in presenting this anecdotal experience is to propose that there is a subset of patients who may need a laparotomy in the absence of infection in order to ...

Component Separation Technique for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction in Burn Patients With Decompressive Laparotomies

Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2009
Component separation technique has been used successfully in ventral hernia repair occurring after damage control surgery. Abdominal compartment syndrome, seen in severely injured burn patients, frequently requires decompressive laparotomy. The patient is at risk during this time not only for burn injury complications but also for those from an open ...
