Abdominal Compartment Syndrome as a Multidisciplinary Challenge. A Literature Review

Abstract: Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS), despite recent advances in medical and surgical care, is a significant cause of mortality. The purpose of this review is to present the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects from the anesthetical and surgical points of view. Intra-abdominal hypertension may be diagnosed by measuring intra-abdominal pressure and indirectly by imaging and radiological means. Early detection of ACS is a key element in the ACS therapy. Without treatment, more than 90% of cases lead to death … Show more

“…The abdominal compartment normally sustains a pressure of approximately 5–7 mm Hg [ 28 ], and many pathologic conditions can generate sustained pressures greater than 12 mm Hg [ 7 ], a state referred to as IAH, producing subclinical organ dysfunctions leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndromes [ 5 ]. Thus, ACS is seen as the result of a sustained IAH [ 29 ] Increased attention to IAP, along with changes in the clinical management of critically ill or injured patients, has led to exponential growth in research relating to IAH and ACS in recent years.…”

“…Trigger factors located inside the abdominal cavity can induce primary ACS, whereas those outside of the abdominopelvic cavity can contribute to the development of secondary ACS. Currently, IVP monitoring is considered the acceptable measurement route [ 5 , 7 , 31 ]. Although the benefits of IVP monitoring in the diagnosis, prevention, and management of IAH have been demonstrated, some clinicians remain reluctant to institute this monitoring technique out of concern for increasing the patient’s risk of device-related nosocomial urinary tract infection while potentially altering the aseptic condition of the urinary drainage system [ 32 ].…”

“…Experienced clinicians rely on their clinical "semi-quantative" estimation of IAP through palpation. Unfortunately, this practice has been shown to only poorly correlate with quantitative IAP measurement [5,6] and cannot replace it [7,8].…”

“…While most cases of primary IAH result from peritonitis, pancreatitis, and inflammatory or oncologic diseases, other causes include aortic aneurysm, abdominal and retroperitoneal tumors, mechanical bowel obstruction, abdominal trauma, and ascites [3]. Secondary causes include obesity, large volume fluid resuscitation, and sepsis [4]. ACS has many systemic effects, including decreased renal and hepatic portal blood flow, resulting in decreased cardiac output and decreased lung and chest wall compliance [2].…”
