TL;DR
It is recommended to recommend bladder pressure monitoring for all patients with severe burn injuries and abdominal decompression in any patient who develops pressures greater than 30 mm Hg if they have signs of physiologic compromise.
Abstract
Abdominal release for patients with ACS and severe burn injury results in physiologic improvement and a 40% survival rate. We recommend bladder pressure monitoring for all patients with severe burn injuries and abdominal decompression in any patient who develops pressures greater than 30 mm Hg if they have signs of physiologic compromise. Aggressive expectant management can effect a 40% survival rate in this group of severely injured patients.

If intra-abdominal pressure rises above 25 mmHg in the early postoperative period and is associated with oliguria and normal blood pressure and cardiac index, the patient should undergo re-exploration and decompression of the abdomen.

The impairment in renal function produced by increased intra-abdominal pressure is a local phenomenon caused by direct renal compression and is not related to cardiac output.
Journal of Surgical ResearchHemodynamic effects of increased abdominal pressure
458 Citations1981Jack Kashtan, Jerry F. Green +2 more
The effect of increased abdominal pressure on cardiac output results from the combined effects of changes in cardiac function and venous return, the direction and magnitude of which depend on intravascular volume and the level of abdominal pressure.

Increased intra-abdominal pressure can cause severe intestinal ischemia, which may be more important than the cardiac, pulmonary, and renal changes usually described.

IAH occurs commonly in major burn patients, and ACS is seen regularly in patients with more than 70% body surface area burns, and the recommend bladder pressure measurements after infusion of more than 0.25 L/kg during the acute resuscitation phase and for peak inspiratory pressures greater than 40 cm H2O.

There was a close correspondence between intra-abdominal pressure and pressure in the inferior vena cava (as measured through a Femoral vein catheter) which suggests that monitoring pressure through the femoral vein may be a clinically useful technique for determining the level of IAP.

Renal failure secondary to increased intra-abdominal pressure has been previously produced experimentally in dogs by the intraperitoneal installation of graded amounts of saline but this is the first report of this type of renal failure in clinical practice.

A secondary ACS that occurs after severe hemorrhagic shock with no evidence of abdominal injury is described, and bladder pressures should be routinely checked and acted on appropriately when resuscitation volumes approach 10 liters of crystalloid or 10 units of packed red cells.

It is concluded that the measurement of bladder pressure using a standard transurethral bladder catheter provides an accurate determination of intra-abdominal pressure.

The authors conclude that transurethral monitoring of bladder pressure offers a safe, simple, and highly accurate method for evaluating IAP at the bedside, and studies evaluating the indication for its use in the operating room and intensive care settings appear warranted.

Elevation of intra-abdominal pressure should be considered in severely burned patients with oliguria, hypoventilation, or hypotension in addition to standard care in patients with extensive burns.
