Abstract
Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is rarely measured by default in intensive care patients. Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) contribute significantly to the development of multiorgan insufficiency in critically ill patients and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This article discusses and analyzes the causes and features of the pathophysiological mechanisms of increased intra-abdominal pressure, as well as modern aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with abdominal compartment syndrome.
