摘要Introduction: Intra-abdominal hypertension is now well recognized in intensive care patients. Increasing knowledge of the incidence, causes, pathophysiology and outcome of intra-abdominal hypertension has resulted in earlier and more definitive management of the condition in the last decade. Although these advances appear to have improved outcome, many issues remain controversial. Methods: A literature review of relevant papers was conducted. Conclusions: The incidence of intra-abdominal hypertension varies widely depending on the intra-abdominal pressure used to define the condition and the sub-group investigated. Monitoring intra-abdominal pressure by measuring urinary bladder pressure is simple and sufficiently accurate. It has been suggested that intra-abdominal hypertension occurs when intra-abdominal pressure exceeds http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/1O to http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/12mmHg. Abdominal compartment syndrome is a severe form of intra-abdominal hypertension and occurs when intra-abdominal pressure exceeds 20-25mmHg and associated organ failure is evident. Intra-abdominal hypertension has potentially damaging effects on the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and central nervous systems. There is an association between intra-abdominal hypertension and multiple organ failure, but causation has not yet been convincingly shown. Expert consensus suggests that an acute increase of IAP to above 20-25mmHg and/or evidence of abdominal compartment syndrome is an indication for surgical decompression.
