Elevated intra-abdominal pressure can severely impair organ function and lead to abdominal compartment syndrome. Prompt diagnosis and intervention, such as operative decompression, are crucial for patient survival and recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Surgical Critical Care

Context:

  • The abdominal compartment, encompassing the retroperitoneum, is a confined space.
  • Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) negatively impacts multiple organ systems, including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal functions.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the pathophysiology, causes, diagnosis, and management of elevated IAP and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).
  • To highlight the importance of objective IAP measurement in clinical decision-making.

Summary:

  • Elevated IAP, often caused by abdominal surgery, trauma, peritonitis, ascites, or edema, can lead to ACS, a life-threatening condition.
  • Bedside manometry using a Foley catheter offers a practical method for estimating IAP.
  • Reduction of elevated IAP can reverse adverse systemic effects.

Impact:

  • Early recognition and management of elevated IAP and ACS are critical for preventing organ dysfunction and mortality.
  • Further controlled clinical trials are needed to underscore the significance of IAP and ACS.
