Percutaneous Catheter Decompression in the Treatment of Elevated Intra-abdominal Pressure

NCT01230255 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 62

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) have traditionally been treated surgically through emergent laparotomy. Intensivist-performed bedside drainage of free intra-peritoneal fluid or blood \[percutaneous catheter decompression (PCD)\] has been suggested as a less-invasive alternative to traditional open abdominal decompression (OAD). This study assesses the relative efficacy of PCD vs. OAD in reducing elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).

Conditions
