Understanding Intra-Abdominal Hypertension

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2011
Received November 10, 2009. Received Revised June 17, 2010. Submitted June 21, 2010. Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are highly morbid conditions that are common and underrecognized in the intensive care unit. Intra-abdominal hypertension affects the critically ill patient population and is not solely limited

Intra-abdominal Hypertension

2014
Intra-abdominal hypertension is potentially fatal if left untreated. Although the imaging features of this entity are nonspecific, knowledge of the typical radiologic manifestations in combination with the appropriate clinical indicators, often enables recognizing the possibility of increased intra-abdominal pressure and expedite lifesaving ...

Intra-abdominal Hypertension—An Experimental Study of Early Effects on Intra-abdominal Metabolism

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2015
The main aim of this experimental study was to investigate the early effects of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on intra-abdominal metabolism and intestinal mucosal blood flow to evaluate whether metabolites can serve as markers for organ dysfunction during IAH.A swine model was used, and the animals were anesthetized and ventilated. Fifteen animals

Intra-Abdominal Hypertension and MODS

2011
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) have been rediscovered in the last decades, and appear to frequently complicate severe sepsis and septic shock. IAH affects all organ systems and contributes to the development of MODS. Intra-abdominal pressure measurement is therefore mandatory as IAP should be incorporated in

INTRA-ABDOMINAL HYPERTENSION AND THE EFFECT ON RENAL FUNCTION

Acta Clinica Belgica, 2007
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are increasingly recognized in critically-ill patients. They are independently associated with mortality and organ dysfunction. The kidney is especially vulnerable to the effect of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) due to its anatomical position and blood supply. Several

Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2022
Purpose of review Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) has been acknowledged as an important contributor to organ dysfunction in critically ill patients, both in surgical and medical conditions. As our understanding of the pathophysiology evolves, risk factors are better recognized, preventive measures can now be implemented and ...

Intra-Abdominal Hypertension: Pulmonary and Cerebral Complications

Transplantation Proceedings, 2008
Intra-abdominal hypertension causes many physiologic changes, primarily by reducing thoracic compliance and secondarily causing organ failure, which is the body's normal response to trauma or acute inflammatory response. Compartment syndrome as a cause of abdominal hypertension has adverse effects on the circulation, threatening the function and ...

Cardiopulmonary monitoring in intra-abdominal hypertension.

The American surgeon, 2011
Cardiopulmonary dysfunction and failure are commonly encountered in the patient with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) or abdominal compartment syndrome. Accurate assessment and optimization of preload, contractility, and afterload in conjunction with appropriate goal-directed resuscitation and assessment of fluid responsiveness are essential to ...
