Filter by:The open abdomen can occur as a result of various diseases. After infections of the abdomen, compartment syndromes or traumata, it is essential for survival (1). This condition of the open abdomen lasts from days to months. Within a very short time, the fascia and abdominal wall structures retract in such a way that direct abdominal closure is often impossible. In addition, there is a pronounced intraabdominal oedema, which additionally increases the space required by the abdominal organs. Therefore, it is clinically indispensable to increase the space of the intraabdominal organs in this life-threatening situation. After the laparotomy (opening of the abdomen) has been performed, it is therefore not closed. However, the natural traction on the abdominal wall, in particular on the fascia, the attached musculature as well as skin and subcutis, no longer exists in this situation. As a result, these structures retract over the period of the existing laparostoma. In the present study, the CE-certified medical device Fasciotens Abdomen will be used to prove the functionality of this device and the user feasibility. The basic principle of Fasciotens Abdomen is the ventrally directed pulling force on the two fascial edges via an external device with support on the thorax and pelvis. The possibility to apply a traction to the fascia from the moment of opening the abdomen without reducing the intraabdominal space is absolutely new and the rationale of this technique. The objective of this study is to prove the obvious prevention of fascial retraction through the Fasciotens Abdomen device.
To identified prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic factors of IAH and ACS in surgical critically ill patients in institutional hospital
In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of three different PEEP levels (0-4, 5-8, 9-12 cmH2O) on intraabdominal pressure and hemodynamic parameters of patients in intensive care unit.
Intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) is a frequent and severe condition affecting intensive care patients. Gold standard for estimation of intraabdominal pressure is intravesical pressure (IVP) measurement. IVP measurement is recommended in patients presenting IAH risk factor(s). Acute kidney injury is the most frequent and described complication of IAH condition. Patients undergoing kidney transplantation have several risk factors to develop IAH. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, IAH incidence, associated factors and impact on renal function recovery remains unknown. We aim to study IAH incidence, associated factors and impact on renal function recovery in post kidney transplantation period.
intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and delirium are serious, high-frequency complications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The consequences of the complication range from high morbidity and mortality to a greater need for nursing care. We hypothesize that there could be a correlation between IAH and incidence of delirium.
Measuring intraabdominal pressure in the semi-recumbent position and supine position.
Early detection of intra-abdominal hypertension is essential to the prevention of abdominal compartment syndrome and requires close surveillance of intra-abdominal hypertension in patients at increased risk. intra-abdominal hypertension measurements are often taken by the bedside nurse, and in some cases, initiation of serial intra-abdominal hypertension monitoring is prompted by critical care nurses.
