Validation of Direct Intraabdominal Pressure Measurement Using a Continuous Indwelling Compartment Pressure Monitor

Abstract

The intracompartmental pressure monitor provides accurate, rapid, and direct measurement of intraabdominal pressure, and may be a useful tool for continuous intraabdominal pressure measurement among patients at risk of abdominal compartment syndrome.

Semicontinuous intra-abdominal pressure measurement using an intragastric Compliance catheter

“…In addition, the reference pressure is easily measured and the IAP during a laparoscopic procedure usually is at a clinically relevant level (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Several studies evaluating methods for IAP measurement have been performed using this setup [6][7][8][9].…”

A Single-Lumen Central Venous Catheter for Continuous and Direct Intra-abdominal Pressure Measurement

“…Direct IAP measurements have been done in the laboratory setting in animal studies [10,11,22,23] and laparoscopy [24,25], but not on patients at risk of ACS in the ICU setting. Thus far, only one other study group (Shafik et al [26]) has performed direct IAP measurements on a variety of patients -none of them in intensive care -by placing a Verres needle blindly into the abdomen.…”

Bedeutung des abdominellen Kompartmentsyndroms in Deutschland

“…Der IAD wird in der Routine indirekt durch eine Messung des intravesikulären oder intragastralen Drucks abgeschätzt; hierbei ließ sich zumeist eine gute Übereinstimmung mit dem IAD zeigen [20]. In neuerer Zeit wurde mehrfach ein direkter Ansatz zur Messung des IAD beschrieben [2,15].…”
