What every ICU clinician needs to know about the cardiovascular effects caused by abdominal hypertension [PDF]
The effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on cardiovascular function are well recognized and include a combined negative effect on preload, afterload and contractility.

Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction in a Porcine Model: Effects of Intra-Abdominal Hypertension. A Preliminary Study. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Mechanical intestinal obstruction is a disorder associated with intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome. As the large intestine intraluminal and intra-abdominal pressures are increased, so the patient's risk for ...

Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in pancreatitis, paediatrics, and trauma [PDF]
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is an important contributor to early organ dysfunction in trauma and sepsis. However, relatively little is known about the impact of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in general internal medicine, pregnant patients, and ...

Intra-abdominal hypertension in cardiac surgery [PDF]
The occurrence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), as well as its promoting factors in cardiac surgery, has been poorly explored. The aim of the present study was to characterize intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) variations in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures, and to identify the risk factors for IAH in this setting.All consecutive adult

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome: pathophysiology and definitions
"Intra-abdominal hypertension", the presence of elevated intra-abdominal pressure, and "abdominal compartment syndrome", the development of pressure-induced organ-dysfunction and failure, have been increasingly recognized over the past decade as causes ...

Is intra-abdominal hypertension a missing factor that drives multiple organ dysfunction syndrome? [PDF]
In a recent issue of Critical Care, Cheng and colleagues conducted a rabbit model study that demonstrated that intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) may damage both gut anatomy and function. With only 6 hours of IAH at 25 mmHg, these authors observed an 80%

Monro-Kellie 2.0: The dynamic vascular and venous pathophysiological components of intracranial pressure [PDF]
For 200 years, the ‘closed box’ analogy of intracranial pressure (ICP) has underpinned neurosurgery and neuro-critical care. Cushing conceptualised the Monro-Kellie doctrine stating that a change in blood, brain or CSF volume resulted in reciprocal ...

Increased circulating ANG II and TNF-α represents important risk factors in obese Saudi adults with hypertension irrespective of diabetic status and BMI [PDF]
Central adiposity is a significant determinant of obesity-related hypertension risk, which may arise due to the pathogenic inflammatory nature of the abdominal fat depot.
