Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), caused by intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), is fatal if untreated. Early surgical decompression, guided by intra-abdominal pressure monitoring, improves survival rates in critically ill patients.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Surgical Physiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) results from intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), impacting multiple organ systems.
  • IAH can arise from various conditions, including trauma, surgery, and pancreatitis, leading to potentially fatal ACS if unaddressed.

Purpose:

  • To review the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of IAH and ACS.
  • To highlight the importance of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring and surgical decompression.

Summary:

  • IAH, an abnormal increase in intra-abdominal volume, causes ACS. Urinary bladder pressure measurement is key for IAH diagnosis.
  • Surgical decompression is the primary treatment for ACS, though optimal pressure thresholds remain debated. Survival rates vary (38-71%) and appear higher with lower decompression thresholds (<20 mmHg).

Impact:

  • Emphasizes the critical role of timely IAP monitoring and surgical intervention in improving ACS patient outcomes.
  • Suggests a need for further research, including randomized controlled trials, to validate prophylactic measures and optimize decompression strategies.
