Filter by:The goal of this prospective observational study is to examine the potential association between intra-abdominal pressure and venous congestion as assessed by abdominal ultrasound, in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The main question it aims to answer is whether there is association between intra-abdominal pressure and Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score. Participants will be sonographically assessed and their intra-abdominal pressure measured once within the first 3 days of ICU admission.
This study is a randomized, double-blinded, controlled design. In this study, Cisatracurium Besylate was selected for treatment in Intra-abdominal hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome,accompanied with evaluating the effects on the duration of organ failure,length of hospital stay and mortality.To clarify the effect of Cisatracurium Besylate on IAH/ACS is of great significance to the clinical applications.
Patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with a prone position (PP) indication will benefit from measurements of radiological and biological kidney injury markers, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and ventilatory mechanics in supine position (baseline IAP), after 2 hours in PP at the current IAP value, thirty minutes after patients' abdomen suspension in order to resume baseline IAP and after patients' are turned back to supine position.
This study evaluates the efficacy of intensive surveillance, prevention and treatment of intra-abdominal hypertension in ICU patients. In the first two months patients will be screened and undergo usual care. In the following 10-months patients will have more intensive screening and active measures towards prevention and treatment according to best practices.
To identified prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic factors of IAH and ACS in surgical critically ill patients in institutional hospital
This study is conducted to evaluate the incidence and prognostic significance of IAH in medical ICU patients.
This study is being done to compare two different Temporary Abdominal Closure methods that could be used in cases like yours. The methods being compared are the Barker's vacuum packing technique (BVPT) and the Open Abdomen Negative Pressure Therapy System (ABThera).
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a well known condition occuring in critically ill patients in intensive care units. This syndrome features a sustained intra abdominal hypertension (IAH) above 20 mmHg and a multiple organ failure due to the raise of the intra abdominal pressure. Several reviews described CT findings linked to these conditions, but most of them suffer an insufficient statistical method. Furthermore, the main CT feature described as specific in ACS, Round Belly Sign (RBS), has been highly debated since. This study is aimed to evaluate, in a prospective way, the diagnostic and prognostic value of CT findings in abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome patients hosted in intensive care units, based on previous reviews and adding three new CT features described for the first time.
This is a prospective comparison trial. Patients that will be included in the trial are those that will have operations in which their abdominal closure is temporary, i.e. patients sustaining trauma or septic abdomen. Patients will be grouped according to the method of temporarily abdominal closure (TAC) procedure: 1. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) 2. "Bogota bag" (BB), a sterile intravenous bag silo closure. The two methods are currently accepted with no clear cut evidence to prefer one on another. At Soroka Medical Center the decision to choose either of the methods is at the surgeon's discretion. Intra-abdominal pressure will be measured in all patients by the urinary bladder pressure technique at 6 12 24 ant 48 hours post operation. The measurement is a routine procedure done as part of the monitoring processes of critically ill patients in the General Intensive Care Unit (GICU). Patients will be evaluated for the development of acute intra abdominal hypertension with or without abdominal compartment syndrome.
