TL;DR
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.
Abstract
IAH occurs commonly in major burn patients, and ACS is seen regularly in patients with more than 70% body surface area burns. We 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. Whereas ACS warrants surgical decompression of the abdominal cavity, IAH usually responds to conservative therapy.

Annals of SurgeryThe Measurement of Intra-abdominal Pressure as a Criterion for Abdominal Re-exploration
871 Citations1984Irving L. Kron, P. Kent Harman +1 more
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 American Journal of SurgeryProspective characterization and selective management of the abdominal compartment syndrome
445 Citations1997Daniel R. Meldrum, Frederick A. Moore +4 more
Timely decompression of the abdominal compartment syndrome results in improvements in cardiopulmonary and renal function and supports the use of the proposed ACS grading system for selective management of the syndrome.
Critical Care MedicineCardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal effects of massively increased intra-abdominal pressure in critically ill patients
403 Citations1989DAVID J. CULLEN, JOSEPH P. COYLE +2 more
Surgical decompression of the abdomen improved oxygenation, ventilation, cardiac output, atrial filling pressures, and urine output within 15 min, and the cardiovascular effects of massively elevated IAP compounded by the requisite supportive care may require surgical relief.
Cardiopulmonary Effects of Raised Intra-Abdominal Pressure before and after Intravascular Volume Expansion
285 Citations1995Philip C. Ridings, Geoffrey L. Bloomfield +2 more
Data clarify the hemodynamic changes associated with raised IAP and indicate that care must be taken in interpreting hemodynamic measurements to determine intravascular fluid status in patients with elevated IAP.
Critical Care MedicineA simple technique to accurately determine intra-abdominal pressure
247 Citations1987Thomas J. Iberti, KATHY M. KELLY +3 more
It is concluded that the measurement of bladder pressure using a standard transurethral bladder catheter provides an accurate determination of intra-abdominal pressure.
British journal of surgeryProspective study of intra-abdominal hypertension and renal function after laparotomy
224 Citations1995Michael Sugrue, Michael Buist +4 more
There is a clinically significant association between increased IAP and renal impairment in patients admitted to an intensive care unit after laparotomy.
Archives of SurgeryIncreases in Intra-abdominal Pressure Affect Pulmonary Compliance
169 Citations1995Farouck N. Obeid
Increased IAP has a major influence on pulmonary compliance (50% decrease at 16 mm Hg) and Measurements of IAP by intraorgan manometry are position dependent and may not accurately reflect the intraperitoneal pressure.
SurgeryDoes pneumoperitoneum with different gases, body positions, and intraperitoneal pressures influence renal and hepatic blood flow?
154 Citations1997T. Junghans, Bartholomäus Böhm +3 more
Head-up position and intraperitoneal pressure greater than 12 mm Hg should be avoided during laparoscopic surgery because they compromise hepatic and renal blood flow.

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.

3 adults who sustained burns of more than 70% of their body surface areas, who required more than 20 L of crystalloid resuscitation, and who developed ACS during their resuscitation after the burn injury are described.
