View clinical trials related to Intra-Abdominal Hypertension.
Filter by:PDT is a continuous pressure monitoring for Intra-Abdominal hypertension (IAH) designed to be less invasive than pan-endoscopic evaluation, more tolerable than abdominal tapping, and more effective than intravesical pressure measurement for IAH. The PDT device consists of a piezoelectric sensor module with a low power Bluetooth wireless transmitter encased in biocompatible capsule. The device will be swallowed after activation. Following PDT insertion, the patient is fitted with a custom, removable external waist accessory containing a receiver, which is worn during monitoring and provide PDT location by signal analysis with sufficient information to provide IAH trends.
An abdominal panniculus excision procedure is known as an abdominoplasty (panniculectomy). Musculofascial plication is a crucial aspect of abdominoplasty, especially for patients with significant divarication of the recti muscles. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative changes in peak airway pressure (PAP) after muscle plication on postoperative pulmonary function.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about intestinal regional oxygen saturation measurements made with near-infrared spectroscopy and bladder pressure measurements in infants without risk of intraabdominal hypertension. The main question it aims to answer is if - in comparison to bladder pressure - the regional intestinal oxygen saturation measured with near-infrared spectroscopy is stable in the muscle-relaxed, intubated patients and the awake and non-sedated patient. In case of participation the bladder pressure and the regional intestinal oxygen saturation (measured with near-infrared spectroscopy) will each be measured once intraoperatively and once postoperatively. Patients included in this study will be undergoing an operation which necessitates muscle-relaxation, as well as an indwelling urinary catheter during the operation and for a short-time thereafter for other reasons than this study.
Background: Patients undergoing surgical operations in prone position do not have a measure of intra abdominal pressure as a standard procedure. Many of them could have elevated values of this parameter and could be exposed to possible renal damage due to a stiffening of the abdominal muscles while being positioned prone. Purpose of study: Intraoperative intrabdominal pressure measurement and evaluation of correlation with possible postsurgical complications. Methodology: Electronic device able to measure intra abdominal pressure is connected between a Foley catheter and a urinary collecting bag. During the procedure, values of the intra abdominal pressure are displayed on a monitor next to anaesthetic machine in real time. The numbers representing the pressure in mmHG are assessed and recorded. Discussion: Possible correlation between intra abdominal hypertension and postsurgical complications in patients operated in prone position could be a foundation to further clinical trials and presurgical assessment of intraabdominal pressure.
The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System.
The study aims to demonstrate the relationship between intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abundant microaspirations in mechanically ventilated cirrhotic.
Patients with end stage liver disease have varying degrees of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) due to the presence of ascites. The perioperative events may either relieve or aggravate the intra-abdominal pressures. Intra-abdominal hypertension has damaging effect on various organ systems. There is an increase in intracranial pressures and a decrease in cerebral perfusion pressures associated with IAH . In the heart, there is an increase of right atrial pressures, increase in systemic vascular resistance and decrease in cardiac output . Pulmonary complications include increase in the peak, mean and plateau airway pressures, with decreased compliance . Renal dysfunction is an early effect of raised intra-abdominal pressure, resulting from decreased renal blood flow, shunting of blood to the medulla, mechanical compression of the kidneys and increased pressures in the renal veins . We would study the intra-abdominal pressures in liver transplant recipients and record hemodynamic, respiratory, cardiac and renal function prospectively. Follow up data for 6 days for neurological, respiratory, cardiac and renal complications will be collected, along with hospital stay, ICU stay and mortality. The association between intra-abdominal pressures and these outcomes will be analysed.
Liver cirrhosis patients in Intensive Care present intra-abdominal hypertension and this is an independent risk factor for increased organ disfunction and mortality. Patients will be randomized into intermittent or continuous passive paracentesis and the clinical results of these two strategies for preventing and treating intra-abdominal hypertension will compared.
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.
At the end of most abdominal operations, the fascial layer is closed by stitching edges of the wound together. However, because of logistic and/or technical reasons or the patient's critical condition, the surgeon is forced to leave the abdomen open. The current approach for temporary coverage of abdomen is vacuum assisted techniques (VAT). This technique requires the use of vacuum-assisted drainage to remove blood or watery fluid from a wound or operative site. Although this is the most successful and commonly used procedure, there are some limitations to this method. For example, VAT have little effect on preventing lateral movement of the wound edges. Therefore, VAT it is not the ideal procedure in aiding surgeons to closed the abdomen. The purpose of this study is to compare usual care (vacuum or non-vacuum methods for temporary coverage of the OA) versus usual care plus a novel new abdominal binder device called ABRO™ that may aid in the closure of patients who undergo open abdomen closure procedures.
