“…This is in accordance with McNelis et al study, where patients with ACS had a significantly longer LOS in the surgical ICU compared with patients without ACS (10.4±11.3 vs. 3.8±2.3 days, P<0.001) (3). However, it was not proved in patients after liver transplantation (21).…”

“…For these reasons, ICP monitoring remains imperative and valuable in promoting improved outcomes. Moreover, liver transplantation surgery has demonstrated intraabdominal hypertension in the postoperative stage [14]. In general, postoperative surgical patients may experience increased IAP from large volume crystalloid resuscitation.…”

“…In a consecutive series of 108 liver transplants [60], average post-operative IAP was 21.5 mm Hg, while 79% of cases presented IAP > 18 mm Hg as assessed every 8 hours during the initial three postoperative days. This study predates the publication of WSACS standard recommendations, and IAP readings were obtained after infusion of 100 ml of saline in the urinary catheter.…”

Intra-abdominal hypertension, even preceding the onset of abdominal compartment syndrome, is still recognized as an adverse prognostic factor. Unfortunately, most of the current supporting evidence within the critical care environment remains observational in nature. In acute pancreatitis, an active role for intra-abdominal hypertension early in the disease process follows a strong intuitive basis, and it is corroborated by preliminary evidence from animal models. Additional studies are needed to better characterize the optimal fluid resuscitation strategy, as well as the importance of intra-abdominal hypertension as an early therapeutic target. All critically ill patients with acute pancreatitis should be considered for routine intra-abdominal pressure monitoring. The prevalence and clinical relevance of intra-abdominal hypertension after elective major abdominal operations are underestimated in the literature. Hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery and liver transplantation represent high-risk surgical subspecialties, and routine intra-abdominal hypertension risk assessment to indicate postoperative intra-abdominal pressure monitoring can be recommended. Conservative management of intra-abdominal hypertension should be promptly initiated upon diagnosis. Although abdominal catheter drainage and decompressive laparotomy may be required in refractory cases based on expert clinical judgment, precise indications and timing are still unclear. Implementation of institutional protocols based on the Abdominal Compartment Society reference standards is crucial to optimize both clinical management and research in this evolving area.
