“…It is important to note that ACS may develop in any critically ill patient even though it most commonly follows abdominal trauma and damage control laparotomy [3]. Using just an abdominal physical exam alone is not an adequate method of detecting an elevated IAP.…”

“…ACS most often results from blunt abdominal trauma with intra-abdominal bleeding but may even be due to the compressive effect of intra-abdominal packing [3]. Other etiologies include ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, liver transplantation, postpartum hemorrhagic pancreatitis, bowel obstruction, abdominal growths, ascites, and secondary ACS from massive volume resuscitation [2, 4].…”

“…This development of IAH‐induced organ dysfunction and failure over time is regarded as ACS (Cheatham 2009). It has been further reported that the gastrointestinal and renal systems are usually affected first (Pavlovic and Kogler 2006; de Waele et al . 2011).…”

“…This development of IAH-induced organ dysfunction and failure over time is regarded as ACS (Cheatham 2009). It has been further reported that the gastrointestinal and renal systems are usually affected first (Pavlovic and Kogler 2006;de Waele et al 2011). The importance of IAH in human medicine has been recently exemplified by inauguration of a World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) with a mission to promote research, foster education, and improve the survival of patients with IAH and/or ACS (http://www.wsacs.org).…”

Summary Intra‐abdominal hypertension (IAH) may lead to a multiple organ dysfunction syndrome associated with significant dysfunction of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal and central nervous systems of human patients. A recent prospective multicentre epidemiological investigation in man concluded that IAH was associated with an increased risk of mortality in critically ill patients. In this review, we present current information pertaining to the potential clinical importance of IAH in the context of equine clinical practice. In conclusion, consideration of intra‐abdominal pressure should be a part of the clinical assessment of patient well‐being in critically ill equine patients.

Background. Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in surgical patients. Most studies on IAH and ACS have been conducted on patients on the intensive care unit (ICU) and have included both medical and surgical patients. We studied the incidence of Intra-Abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in patients who have undergone abdominal surgery exclusively, the factors associated with their occurrence and their final outcome. Aim. To evaluate the incidence of Intra-Abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, the associated factors and their outcome in patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery. Methods. Between September 2012 and November 2013, we prospectively recorded the IAH through the intravesical route in 895 consecutive patients who had undergone surgery in our department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India. We excluded those who are under 18 years old. Results. Out of the 895 patients included in the study, 137 (15.3%) and 29 (3.2%) patients were diagnosed with IAH and ACS, respectively. IAH and ACS were most commonly associated with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), being significantly more common in ICU patients compared to those in the ward (40.2% vs 5.5%). The most common complication was bleeding and low hemoglobin levels that required blood products or inotropes (15.6%) followed by septicemia (15.5%). Most (70%) of the patients had grade I or II IAH. Mortality was significantly higher in patients operated on as emergencies and groups having IAH and ACS than those without IAH (29.9% and 57.1% vs 4.1% respectively). Keywords  intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), intensive care unit (ICU) Highlights ✓ Young males, patients on the ICU who were on ventilators and inotropic support, and patients undergoing emergency operations especially for acute necrotizing pancreatitis are at a higher risk of developing intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome compared to the ward patients.
