Recommendations for Research From the International Conference of Experts on Intra-Abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Abstract

These recommendations are proposed to guide clinical research in the field of IAH and ACS.

Manejo Del Abdomen Abierto: Desde La Operación Inicial Al Cierre Definitivo

“…Las definiciones expresadas a continuación surgieron por consenso y figuran en las guías de la World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) del año 2006, en las guías de práctica clínica de 2007, en las recomendaciones para la investigación de 2009 y de los consensos y guías clínicas de la WSACS de 2013 [1][2][3][4] . Otras definiciones de interés fueron tomadas de la Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Intensiva (SATI) y del "The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock" del año 2016 [1][2][3][4]160 .…”

“…Otras definiciones de interés fueron tomadas de la Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Intensiva (SATI) y del "The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock" del año 2016 [1][2][3][4]160 . Abdomen abierto/Laparostomía: es la separación intencional de los planos cutáneos, musculares y aponeuróticos, con exposición visceral controlada que ocurre después de una laparotomía.…”

Update from the Abdominal Compartment Society (WSACS) on intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome: past, present, and future beyond Banff 2017

“…At the risk of being considered immodest, it should be recorded that in little over a decade since its 2004 WSACS birth place in Noosa, Australia, the society has cooperated and endeavoured to promote research, foster education, and improve the survival of critically ill patients suffering from severe intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). In addition to five previous international scientific conferences, the society has published a dedicated textbook [2], highly cited (over 1,000 times on Google Scholar) consensus statements concerning definitions [3], management [4] and classification of the open abdomen [5], along with standards for research concerning IAH/ACS [6]. The society has also produced complete scientific supplements published in Acta Clinica Belgica, American Surgeon, and Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy.…”

WSACS — The Abdominal Compartment Society. A Society dedicated to the study of the physiology and pathophysiology of the abdominal compartment and its interactions with all organ systems

“…In the decade since the WSACS's foundation in 2004, the Society has promoted research, fostered education, and improved the survival of critically ill patients suffering from severe intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS). In addition to hosting six international scientific conferences (WCACS), five pre-symposium workshops on IAH and ACS at the International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (ISICEM), and three European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) sister society meetings, the Society has published two dedicated textbooks, highly cited Consensus statements concerning the relevant definitions [1], management [2], and standards for research concerning IAH/ACS [3], as well as produced complete Scientific Supplements published in the Acta Clinica Belgica in 2007, the World Journal of Surgery in 2009 and the American Surgeon in 2011. Further, the Society has followed through on its commitment to keep the science contemporary with updated Consensus statements last year [4].…”
