Intra-abdominal hypertension in cardiac surgery [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2013
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
