Abdominal compartment syndrome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis in early stage

Abstract: AIM:To study retrospectively the influence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in patients with early acute pancreatitis (AP) (during the first week after admission) on physiological functions, and the association of the presence of IAH/ACS and outcome. METHODS: Patients (n = 74) with AP recruited in this study were divided into two groups according to intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) determined by indirect measurement using the transvesical route via Foley bladder cath… Show more

“…Diferentes modelos experimentais foram avaliados com o intuito de caracterizar o risco de desenvolvimento de hipertensão intra-abdominal e/ou síndrome de compartimento abdominal (Biancofiore et al 2002, Hong et al 2002, Chen et al 2008 , Cheatham et al 2007.…”

“…IAH and ACS are common events in acute pancreatitis (AP), affecting up to 60–80 per cent of patients in some studies4, 5. The proportion of patients thought to have IAH depends on where the threshold is set.…”

“…With an IAP greater than 15 mmHg, over 75 per cent of patients might be classified as having IAH4, 5, often within the first 12 h of their apparent illness6, 7. Some patients with AP may develop ACS (25–56 per cent)4, 5, 6, 7, 8, associated with a high mortality rate (50–75 per cent)4, 5, 6, 7, 8. IAH in AP with organ failure is generally thought to reflect visceral oedema due to the severity of the inflammatory process, potentially compounded by aggressive fluid resuscitation (volume overload).…”

“…He explained that a tight bandage obstructs the blood supply to the extremity, which results in severe pain at rest and the eventual loss of viability of the extremity, leading to amputation. This description is an early explanation of compartment syndrome (a condition that involves an increased pressure in a confined anatomical space and adversely affects blood circulation) eight centuries before the work of Richard von Volkmann (1830-1889) who explained compartment syndrome in 1881 [7,10,11] . Taken as a whole, Avicenna's discourses on bone fractures, dislocations and related issues establish his knowledge and contributions to the advancement of the science of orthopedics.…”
