ABSTRACT
The abdominal compartment syndrome is a complex entity characterized by intra-abdominal hypertension with intra-abdominal pressure greater than 20 mmHg (with or without abdominal perfusion pressure of less than 60 mmHg) that is associated with a new organ dysfunction. Several factors related including resuscitation massive, prolonged states of shock, acidosis, abdominal pathologies, sepsis, and mechanical ventilation with high levels of PEEP. Is a common complication in critically ill patients and diagnosed or not treated promptly it can evolve to multiple organ dysfunction resulting increase in the length of stay in the Unit Care Intensive, increased consumption of economic, technological and human resources until the death of patient.
The last international consensus for diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome published in 2013 recommended to measure intra-abdominal pressure in all patients with risk factors for developing of intra-abdominal hypertension/abdominal compartment syndrome (Grade 1C) and begin immediate treatment and therapeutic goals guided by multidisciplinary collaboration.
