The study was performed for analysis of current understanding of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.The English and Russian articles about intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in patients with severe acute pancreatitis were analyzed. The articles were found in «Russian Science Citation Index» and «PubMed».There is a pathogenetic relationship between increased intra-abdominal pressure and the development of severe acute pancreatitis.For today, it was shown that intra-abdominal hypertension in patients with severe acute pancreatitis is associated with significantly higher APACHE-II and MODS score, prevalence of pancreatic and peripancreatic tissue lesions, early infection of pancreatic necrosis and higher mortality.The article considers various variants of decompressive interventions such as decompressive laparotomy, fasciotomy and percutaneous catheter drainage. For today, there are no randomized studies devoted to researching effectiveness of different decompressive interventions.The study showed that it is necessary to regularly monitor intra-abdominal pressure in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Patients with intra-abdominal hypertension require emergency medical management to reduce intra-abdominal pressure. Inefficiency of the medical management and development of abdominal compartment syndrome are indications for surgery. The effectiveness of different decompressive interventions requires further studies.

Objective. To describe a profoundly immunocompromised (panleukopenia) child with septic shock who developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and was successfully treated with surgical decompression.Design. Individual case report.Setting. Pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary children's hospital.Patient. A 32-month-old male with Fanconi anemia who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) 5 days prior to developing septic shock secondary toStreptococcus viridansandEscherichia coliACS developed after massive fluid resuscitation, leading to cardiopulmonary instability.Interventions. Emergent surgical bedside laparotomy and silo placement.Measurements and Main Results. The patient's cardiopulmonary status stabilized after decompressive laparotomy. The abdomen was closed and the patient survived to hospital discharge without cardiac, respiratory, or renal dysfunction.Conclusions. The use of laparotomy and silo placement in an unengrafted BMT patient with ACS and septic shock did not result in additional complications. Surgical intervention for ACS is a reasonable option for high risk, profoundly immunocompromised patients.

Abdominal compartment syndrome is a potentially lethal condition caused by any event that produces intra-abdominal hypertension; the most common cause is blunt abdominal trauma. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure causes progressive hypoperfusion and ischemia of the intestines and other peritoneal and retroperitoneal structures. Pathophysiological effects include release of cytokines, formation of oxygen free radicals, and decreased cellular production of adenosine triphosphate. These processes may lead to translocation of bacteria from the gut and intestinal edema, predisposing patients to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. The consequences of abdominal compartment syndrome are profound and affect many vital body systems. Hemodynamic, respiratory, renal, and neurological abnormalities are hallmarks of abdominal compartment syndrome. Medical management consists of urgent decompressive laparotomy. Nursing care involves vigilant monitoring for early detection, including serial measurements of intra-abdominal pressure.

Abstract Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS), despite recent advances in medical and surgical care, is a significant cause of mortality. The purpose of this review is to present the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects from the anesthetical and surgical points of view. Intra-abdominal hypertension may be diagnosed by measuring intra-abdominal pressure and indirectly by imaging and radiological means. Early detection of ACS is a key element in the ACS therapy. Without treatment, more than 90% of cases lead to death and according with the last reports, despite all treatment measures, the mortality rate is reported as being between 25 and 75%. There are conflicting reports as to the importance of a conservative therapy approach, although such an approach is the central to treatment guidelines of the World Society of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, Decompressive laparotomy, although a backup solution in ACS therapy, reduces mortality by 16-37%. The open abdomen management has several variants, but negative pressure wound therapy represents the gold standard of surgical treatment.

Here, we report a case of successful treatment for a patient with abdominal compartment syndrome who was on venoarterial extracorporeal life support. A 33-year-old man visited the emergency room with cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed, and massive volume infusion was needed to maintain adequate perfusion pressure. After 6 h, his abdomen was distended, and venous drain was decreased. His bladder pressure was more than 25 mm Hg. Abdominal compartment syndrome was suspected, and prompt decompressive laparotomy was performed to restore venous drain, resulting in stabilization hemodynamically. The patient made a full recovery. He was discharged after implantation of internal cardiac defibrillator.

BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) remain a complex problem of abdominal surgery. To date, the pathophysiological mechanisms, methods for determining intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) the frequency of its measurement, and the methods of conservative and surgical more and more researchers consider surgical decompression as a treatment. AIMS: Аnalysis of the results of the implementation of monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure and its impact on the outcomes of treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis and acute colon obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A study of 397 patients with emergency abdominal pathology including 197 with acute obstructive obstruction of the colon (AOOC), 200 severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was performed. Patients (n=201) were included in the I (main) group, which was carried out using IAP as the main criterion for assessing the patient`s condition and when choosing a method of treatment, in II ― without taking then into account and monitoring. Measurement of IAP, blood lactate was determined primarily, then alternatively 4 to 6 hours. The survey included the study of biochemical indicators, endoscopic methods, visualization (ultrasound scanning, CT of the abdominal cavity organs). RESULTS: In the I group of IAH patients, I and II degrees were in 73.13%, in the II group in 79.5% IAH III and IV degrees, respectively, in 26.87% and 21.5% (p0.05). Measurement of IAP was carried out according to the I.L. Kron method, repeated measurement depending on the degree of IAH after 46 hours, simultaneously, as a predictor of internal ischemia, determined the level of lactate in blood and perfusion abdominal pressure. An algorithm for early diagnosis is suggested excess intraabdominal pressure. For I and II, the degree of IAH was treated with aggressive conservative therapy, with failure of intensive therapy III of IAH degree surgical treatment, with IV degree IAH emergency decompressive laparotomy. In the I group, the mortality was significantly lower than in the II group: IAH at III, with AOOC 27.7% and 50%, respectively (p0.05), at SAP 37.5% and 80% (p0.01), respectively, at IV degree IAH for AOOC 75% and 90% (p0.05), with SAP 75% and 88,8% (p0.05) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results of treatment of patients with IAH can be improved by its early diagnosis, intensive, aggressive therapy of IAH IIII degrees. At IAH I, II degrees conservative treatment is shown, persistent aggressive conservative treatment should be performed at IAH III degree, if it is unsuccessful and IV degree of IAH, an emergency decompressive laparotomy should be performed.

The article presents an analysis of modern methods of the measurement, including classical and original methods and devices developed by the authors. The results of examination and treatment were analyzed in 397 patients with acute obturation intestinal obstruction and acute destructive pancreatitis, who had the abdominal compartment syndrome from I to IV degree. The authors showed that on-time decompressive laparotomy allowed the decrease of lethality from 25% to 15-17,8%.
