Dr. C. Ganga, Dr. P. Rajaprabaharan

Abstract :

 

BACKGROUND :Intra–Abdominal Pressure (IAP) has been found to be an independent predictor of mortality in patients undergoing laparotomy mortality rates without treatment in patients developing Abdominal Compartment Syndrome AIM: find out the prevalence of intra–abdominal hypertension preoperatively in patients requiring abdominal surgery , find the incidence of IAH in the immediate postoperative period in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, determine the incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome in patients having intra–abdominal hypertension. METHOS AND MATERIALS: All patients undergoing intra–abdominal surgery at the surgical unit during the study period were included. intra–abdominal pressure was measured thrice preoperatively, immediately after surgery and post operatively third day. RESULTS: The prevalence of intra–abdominal hypertension preoperatively in patients with acute abdominal conditions requiring emergency surgery is 38%.The incidence of IAH in the first three postoperative days in patients undergoing abdominal surgery is 11.8%. No cases satisfying the criterion for abdominal compartment syndrome were identified in the post–operative period.
