Intra-abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2011
Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), also referred to as intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), affects organ function in critically ill patients and may lead to abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Although initially described in surgical patients, IAH and ACS also occur in medical patients without abdominal conditions.

Intra-abdominal Hypertension

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2012
Raised intra-abdominal pressure and abdominal compartment syndrome are commonly noticed in critically ill patients. In the recent past, their presence in a variety of medical and surgical conditions other than trauma has been emphasized. Early detection, prevention, and treatment reduce the morbidity and mortality in these critically ill patients.

Intra-Abdominal Hypertension

2013
Despite increasing interest in intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) as causes of significant morbidity and mortality among the critically ill, unanswered questions cloud the understanding of the pathophysiology of these conditions: • Are IAH and ACS synonymous?

Respiratory consequences of intra-abdominal hypertension

Minerva Anestesiologica, 2020
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is a common complication in critically ill patients that may lead to multiorgan failure and is associated to worse outcome. Respiratory failure is among the most important consequences of IAH and it is originated by different mechanisms, such as chest wall elastance increase, functional residual capacity reduction ...

Intra‐Abdominal Hypertension in Acute Pancreatitis

World Journal of Surgery, 2009
AbstractThe incidence of intra‐abdominal hypertension (IAH) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is approximately 60–80%. It is usually an early phenomenon, partly related to the effects of the inflammatory process, causing retroperitoneal edema, fluid collections, ascites, and ileus, and partly iatrogenic, resulting from aggressive fluid ...
