AbstractIntra-abdominal pressure (IAP) affects cardio-respiratory and hemodynamic parameters and can be measured directly or indirectly by measuring gastric or urinary bladder pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between IAP, gastric pressure and urinary bladder pressure in patients with morbid obesity, at normal and elevated levels of IAP in two positions. As well, to examine the effects of increasing IAP and patient's position on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. Twelve patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery were included. IAP, gastric pressure, and urinary bladder pressure were measured while patients were in the supine position and after 45° anti-Trendelenburg tilt. Mean inspiratory pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and tidal volume were recorded and assessed. In supine position; directly measured IAP was 9.1 ± 1.8 mmHg, compared to 10 ± 3.6 and 8.9 ± 2.9 mmHg in the stomach and bladder, respectively. Increasing IAP to 15 mmHg resulted in an increased gastric pressure of 17 ± 3.8 mmHg, and urinary bladder pressure of 14.8 ± 3.9 mmHg. Gastric and urinary bladder pressures strongly correlated with IAP (R = 0.875 and 0.847, respectively). With 45° anti-Trendelenburg tilt; directly measured IAP was 9.4 ± 2.2 mmHg, and pressures of 10.8 ± 3.8 mmHg and 9.2 ± 3.8 mmHg were measured in the stomach and the bladder, respectively. Increasing IAP to 15 mmHg resulted in elevating gastric and bladder pressures to 16.6 ± 5.3 and 13.3 ± 4 mmHg, respectively. Gastric and urinary bladder pressures had good correlation with IAP (R = 0.843 and 0.819, respectively). Changing patient position from supine to 45° anti-Trendelenburg position resulted in decreased mean and peak inspiratory pressures, and increased tidal volume. Basal IAP is high in patients with morbid obesity. IAP shows positive correlation to gastric and urinary bladder pressures at both normal and elevated levels of IAP. Anti-Trendelenburg tilt of mechanically ventilated morbidly obese patients resulted in favorable effects on respiratory parameters.Trial Registration: The study was retrospectively registered in the NIH registry. Registration number is pending.

Abstract Background Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) affects cardio-respiratory and hemodynamic parameters and can be measured directly or indirectly by measuring gastric or urinary bladder pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between IAP, gastric pressure and urinary bladder pressure in patients with morbid obesity, at normal and elevated levels of IAP in two positions. As well, to examine the effects of increasing IAP and patient's position on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. Methods Twelve patients undergoing bariatric surgery were included. IAP, gastric pressure, and urinary bladder pressure were measured while patients were in the supine position and after 45o anti-Trendelenburg tilt. Mean inspiratory pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and tidal volume were recorded and assessed. Results In supine position; directly measured IAP was 9.1 ± 1.8 mmHg, compared to 10 ± 3.6 and 8.9 ± 2.9 mmHg in the stomach and bladder, respectively. Increasing IAP to 15 mmHg resulted in an increased gastric pressure of 17 ± 3.8 mmHg, and urinary bladder pressure of 14.8 ± 3.9 mmHg. Gastric and urinary bladder pressures strongly correlated with IAP (R = 0.875 and 0.847, respectively). With 45o anti-Trendelenburg tilt; directly measured IAP was 9.4 ± 2.2 mmHg, and pressures of 10.8 ± 3.8 mmHg and 9.2 ± 3.8 mmHg were measured in the stomach and the bladder, respectively. Increasing IAP to 15 mmHg resulted in elevating gastric and bladder pressures to 16.6 ± 5.3 and 13.3 ± 4 mmHg, respectively. Gastric and urinary bladder pressures had good correlation with IAP (R = 0.843 and 0.819, respectively). Changing patient position from supine to 45o anti-Trendelenburg position resulted in decreased mean and peak inspiratory pressures, and increased tidal volume. Conclusions Basal IAP is high in patients with morbid obesity. IAP shows positive correlation to gastric and urinary bladder pressures at both normal and elevated levels of IAP. Anti-Trendelenburg tilt of mechanically ventilated morbidly obese patients resulted in favorable effects on respiratory parameters.

The most common cause of pneumoperitoneum in trauma patients is hollow viscus injury; however, in patients with pneumoperitoneum on imaging and normal hollow viscus during the laparotomy, other rare causes of pneumoperitoneum like intraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture should be ruled out. Urinary bladder can rupture either extraperitoneally or intraperitoneally or both. Rupture of the urinary bladder is commonly seen in patients with abdominal trauma; however, pneumoperitoneum is usually not seen in patients with traumatic bladder rupture. Intraperitoneal bladder rupture is usually due to the sudden rise in intra-abdominal pressure following abdominal or pelvic trauma. However, it is a rare cause of pneumoperitoneum and is managed by surgical repair. We present a case of blunt trauma abdomen with pneumoperitoneum due to isolated intraperitoneal bladder rupture who was managed by exploratory laparotomy and primary repair of the urinary bladder.
