552 Citations1996Jon M. Burch, Ernest E. Moore +2 more
The most common and significant complications are respiratory and renal failure and failure to recognize and treat ACS is inevitably fatal.

439 Citations1993John A. Morris, Virginia A. Eddy +3 more
The important clinical events and decisions surrounding the reconstruction/unpacking portion of the staged celiotomy for trauma, including abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), are described.
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical CareEFFECT OF INCREASED INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE ON MESENTERIC ARTERIAL AND INTESTINAL MUCOSAL BLOOD FLOW
402 Citations1992Lawrence N. Diebel, Scott A. Dulchavsky +1 more
Increased intra-abdominal pressure can cause severe intestinal ischemia, which may be more important than the cardiac, pulmonary, and renal changes usually described.
Critical Care MedicineA proposed relationship between increased intra-abdominal, intrathoracic, and intracranial pressure
389 Citations1997Geoffrey L. Bloomfield, Philip C. Ridings +3 more
Increased intra-abdominal pressure appears to produce this effect by augmenting pleural and other intrathoracic pressures and causing a functional obstruction to cerebral venous outflow via the jugular venous system, and it is possible that the same phenomenon may be why persons with chronically increased intra- Abdominal Pressure suffer from a high frequency rate of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

343 Citations1997Rao R. Ivatury, Lawrence N. Diebel +2 more
Careful monitoring and prompt recognition and treatment of IAP are critical in patients after damage control surgery because IAH is extremely common in these patients.
Intra-abdominal Hypertension after Life-Threatening Penetrating Abdominal Trauma
334 Citations1998Rao R. Ivatury, John Porter +4 more
Prophylactic mesh closure of the abdomen may facilitate the prevention and bedside treatment of intra-abdominal hypertension and reduce these complications.
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
314 Citations1998Bob H. Saggi, Harvey J. Sugerman +2 more
The gut is the organ most sensitive to IAH, and it develops evidence of end-organ damage before the development of the classic renal, pulmonary, and cardiovascular signs, and intracranial derangements with ACS are now well described.
Critical Care MedicineIncidence and clinical pattern of the abdominal compartment syndrome after “damage-control” laparotomy in 311 patients with severe abdominal and/or pelvic trauma
313 Citations2000Wolfgang Ertel, Andreas Oberholzer +3 more
Risk factors for the occurrence of ACS are severe abdominal and/or pelvic trauma, which require laparotomy and packing for the control of hemorrhage and a critical rise in intracranial pressure in patients with combined abdominal/pelvic and head trauma.
Splanchnic Ischemia and Bacterial Translocation in the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
287 Citations1997Lawrence N. Diebel, Scott A. Dulchavsky +1 more
Increase in intra-abdominal pressure leads to decreased MBF and to BT, which may contribute to later septic complications and organ failure.
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical CareDIAGNOSTIC LAPAROSCOPY INCREASES INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE
223 Citations1994Leon G. Josephs, Jaime R. Este-McDonald +2 more
Pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy may increase ICP and must be used cautiously in evaluating patients with severe head injuries, independent of changes in arterial PCO2 or arterial pH.
Effects of Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure upon Intracranial and Cerebral Perfusion Pressure before and after Volume Expansion
186 Citations1996Geoffrey L. Bloomfield, Philip C. Ridings +3 more
Elevated IAP increases ICP and decreases CPP and cardiac index; whereas cardiac index and CPP decreased significantly and volume expansion further increases I CP yet improves CPP via its greater positive effect upon mean arterial pressure.
Treatment of Increasing Intracranial Pressure Secondary to the Acute Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in a Patient with Combined Abdominal and Head Trauma
150 Citations1995Geoffrey L. Bloomfield, Joseph Dalton +4 more
The successful management of a patient with severe multisystem injury in whom abdominal decompression dramatically reduced high ICP unresponsive to medical measures is reported.

119 Citations1996Michael Sugrue, F. Jones +5 more
A significant clinical association between increased intraabdominal pressure (IAP) and abnormal pHi in postoperative patients and an abnormally low pHi was associated with poor outcome.
Adverse Consequences of Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure on Bowel Tissue Oxygen
106 Citations1995Fred Bongard, Nana A. Pianim +2 more
Readily accessible parameters, such as CO and Svo2, also decline with increased IAP and may be useful variables to monitor as relative indicators of bowel hypoperfusion and TPO2.
