No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Intra-abdominal pressure(IAP) is defined as a steady state pressure of the abdominal cavity
* many studies have proved IAP as a prognostic factor that elevated IAP influences hemodynamics and multiple organs dysfunction
* In previous studies, most of them was based on the septic patients of medical diseases. And it is rare about sepsis of surgical diseases such as traumatized or postoperative patients
* We hypothesized that intra-abdominal hypertension may affect clinical course such as length of stay of intensive care unit, weaning of mechanical ventilation, proceeding of enteral feeding and mortality
* Our study was aimed to investigate prevalence of IAH and risk factors and to analyze clinical course and prognosis influenced by IAH in surgical patients with severe sepsis
