Active clinical trials for "Intra-Abdominal Hypertension"

The study was carried out to determine the prevalence,incidence and factors associated with intra-abdominal hypertension among patients admitted in three intensive care units in Kampala Uganda. It was a multi-center prospective cohort study carried out in three intensive care units where 126 patients that met the eligibility criteria were included in the study,demographics,of these were recorded and intra-abdominal pressure measured using the intra-vesical technique at 0,24,and 72 hours.data entry was done using epi-data version 3.1.Data analysis is on going.

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.

The CAPSS Study is a retrospective and prospective, multi-center, single-arm post-market data collection study with an FDA cleared device. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic health records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System. Analysis of these data has the potential to be able to acutely guide resuscitation and monitor trends for emerging critical conditions.

An incisional hernia is technically challenging to operate and is the most frequent long-term complication after open surgery, resulting in impaired quality of life and reduced physical ability. Large hernias contain large amounts of abdominal volume, which similarly are missing from the abdominal cavity. Due to adaptations of the abdominal wall muscles and decreased space in the abdominal cavity, abdominal wall reconstruction lead to increased tension and thereby increased intraabdominal pressure. Reduced renal and lung function after surgery is one of the leading causes of prolonged hospitalization, increased costs and mortality. Elevated intraabdominal pressure is a known risk factor for kidney injury, but relationships between hernia surgery, increased intraabdominal pressure, renal and lung function are still unclear. Therefore, in patients undergoing surgery for incisional hernia, we will investigate the extent and consequences of elevated intraabdominal pressure, as well as its relation to renal injury and reduced lung function. We will also investigate the relationship between hernia dimensions and the development of increased intraabdominal pressure, as well as identifying patients at particular risk of developing elevated intraabdominal pressure. From April 2020 to October 2021, we will include 100 patients at Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark, diagnosed with medium to giant incisional hernia, who will undergo scheduled surgery. Patients are followed from before to 30 days after surgery. They will be examined with CT scans before and after surgery. Blood tests, pulmonary function tests and measurement intraabdominal pressure will be performed before and until 3 days after surgery. Thirty days after surgery, lung function tests and blood tests are repeated at a final examination at the out-patient clinic. During follow-up, differences in hospital stay, complications, reoperations, and mortality will be investigated. Participation in the project is not associated with any side effects and risks. The study is expected great scientific gain, as the results can help identify particularly vulnerable patients in need of extended observation and treatment. The results obtained by the project are sought to be published in relevant scientific journals and conferences. The project is expected to extend over a 3-year period, which will include commissioning, data collection, analytical processing, dissemination of results and conduction of PhD thesis.

The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System.

The aim of the proposed study is to determine the incidence and prevalence of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in consecutive intensive care admissions using broad inclusion criteria.

Early detection of intra-abdominal hypertension is essential to the prevention of abdominal compartment syndrome and requires close surveillance of intra-abdominal hypertension in patients at increased risk. intra-abdominal hypertension measurements are often taken by the bedside nurse, and in some cases, initiation of serial intra-abdominal hypertension monitoring is prompted by critical care nurses.

Severe Acute Pancreatitis (SAP) is an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas characterized by organ dysfunction and increased mortality. Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure(IAP) in SAP is a result of inflammation of pancreatic and peripancreatic tissue, aggressive fluid resuscitation and increased capillary permeability, which is associated with organ dysfunction, by limiting the vascular supply to the tissue. Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is defined as IAP greater than 20 mm of Hg and is considered an abdominal catastrophe. Intra-abdominal Hypertension (IAH, Intra-abdominal pressure > 12mm of Hg), may contribute to early organ dysfunction, ACS and eventually hemodynamic collapse if left untreated. This signifies the need for determining the burden of the condition and identifying the high risk patient group who are prone to develop IAH /ACS and predicting mortality associated with the condition. Measurement of IAP will be done indirectly by measuring intravesicular pressure using modified kron's method. IAP will be measured at the time of admission into Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and every day thereafter during the initial five days of ICU admission. Any reading of IAP ≥12 mm of Hg shall be considered as IAH. SOFA and APACHE II score will be noted on the day of admission in the ICU. Any interventions, surgical or non surgical as per clinician's decision will be recorded. The patients will be followed up until discharge or mortality until 30 days. The proposed study aims to assess the predictive ability of IAP during the first 5 days of ICU admission for predicting mortality in patients with SAP. Prediction accuracy will also be compared with SOFA and APACHE II scores.

In intensive care patients, high intraabdominal pressure is frequently encountered. Intra-abdominal pressure is often measured as high, especially after major abdominal surgery procedures. In recent years, various studies have reported that the increase in optic nerve diameter measured by ultrasound correlates with the level of intracranial pressure. Optic nerve diameter measurement with ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure. Intra-abdominal pressure measurements are also routinely performed in intensive care patients. In the measurement of abdominal pressure, the bladder catheter, which is already available in every patient who comes to intensive care, is used. In this study, the intra-abdominal pressure values present in the file of each patient undergoing major abdominal surgery who were taken to intensive care unit will be taken. Orbital USG will be performed on the 6th, 12th and 24th hours on admission to the intensive care unit to measure the diameter of the optic nerve, and the relationship between the intra-abdominal pressure value and optic nerve diameters will be investigated.

Aim: The primary aim of this study is to test if closure of the abdominal donor site increases the Intraabdominal Pressure (IAP) in women undergoing secondary Deep Inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. Materials and method: By an Unometer, attached to a standard catheter in the bladder, we measured the intravesical pressure as a surrogate marker for the IAP, at baseline, immediate after- and 24 hours after abdominal skin closure, for 13 patients.
