Intra-abdominal pressure values of emergency department intensive care unit patients and clinical outcomes

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) have become serious causes of morbidity and mortality in critical surgical and medical patients, especially in the past 10 years. Increased IAP levels became one of the routine physiologic parameter measurement elements in critical patients and indicate prognosis. In this study, our aim was to observe IAP increase, APB decrease and their clinical manifestations in ICU patients.
