Trauma nurses are crucial for identifying and managing abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in trauma patients. Early recognition of ACS signs and symptoms is vital for effective patient care and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Critical care nursing
  • Abdominal compartment syndrome

Background:

  • Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition following blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of ACS is essential for timely intervention.

Observation:

  • This review synthesizes current literature and case studies on ACS in trauma.
  • Key aspects covered include clinical manifestations, underlying pathophysiology, and nursing management strategies.

Findings:

  • Trauma nurses are pivotal in the early detection and management of ACS.
  • Essential nursing priorities encompass recognizing ACS signs, accurate intra-abdominal pressure measurement, wound care, psychosocial support, and discharge planning.
