“…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.…”
