Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a progressively increasing intraabdominal pressure of more than 20 mm Hg with new-onset thoracoabdominal organ dysfunction. Primary abdominal compartment syndrome means increased pressure due to injury or disease in the abdominopelvic region. Secondary abdominal compartment syndrome means disease originating from outside the abdomen, such as significant burns or sepsis. As the pressure inside the abdomen increases, organ failure occurs, and the kidneys and lungs are the most frequently affected. Managements of ACS are multidisciplinary. Conservative treatment with adequate volume supple and with aggressive hemodynamic support is the first step. Decompressive laparotomy with open abdomen is indicated when ACS is refractory to conservative treatment and complicated with multiple organ failure. ACS can result in a high mortality rate, and successful treatment requires cooperation between physicians, intensivists, and surgeons.

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.

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are common complications of ruptured abdominal aortoiliac aneurysms (rAAAs) and other abdominal vascular catastrophes even in the age of endovascular therapy. Morbidity and mortality due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ failure (MOF) are significant. Recognition and management of IAH are key critical care measures which may decrease morbidity and improve survival in these vascular patients. Two strategies have been utilized: expectant management with prompt decompressive laparotomy upon diagnosis of threshold levels of IAH versus prophylactic, delayed abdominal closure based upon clinical parameters at the time of initial repair. Competent management of the abdominal wound with preservation of abdominal domain is also an important component of the care of these patients. In this review, we describe published experience with IAH and ACS complicating abdominal vascular catastrophes, experience with ACS complicating endovascular repair of rAAAs, and techniques for management of the abdominal wound. Vigilance and appropriate management of IAH and ACS remains critically important in decreasing morbidity and optimizing survival following catastrophic intra-abdominal vascular events.

The syndrome of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome can complicate the course of many surgical abdominal diseases and lead to the development and progression of multiple organ failure. In particular, impaired renal blood flow is an early and significant pathogenetic link of thanatogenesis in such patients. Mortality at an abdominal compartment syndrome reaches very significant figures — 42–68% and without treatment approaches 100%. The purpose of the work is to predict renal failure in patients with intra-abdominal hypertension syndrome and abdominal compartment syndrome. A survey of 40 patients with acute surgical abdominal pathology and signs of intra-abdominal hypertension was performed. Blood pressure measurement was performed according to the recommendations of the conciliation commission on the problem of intra-abdominal hypertension syndrome (SIGA) from 2004. Also, the calculation of perfusion pressure of the abdominal cavity was performed, which is the difference between mean arterial pressure and intraabdominal pressure. The level of perfusion pressure is less than 60 mm Hg. Art. correlates with survival of patients. Determination of cystatin C was performed in the first 48 hours after hospitalization of patients in VAIT. The calculation of the results was carried out according to the standard t-criterion calculation formulas in the Exel tables. It was found that of 40 patients died — 13, and survived — 27. The reliable difference between the indicators of intra-abdominal pressure in surviving and deceased patients was acquired only at the end of the third day of observation, whereas the abdominal perfusion pressure indices significantly differed already in the first day. In the analysis of cytatine C in surviving patients, the biomarker values were 1,299±0.827, whereas in those who died 1,882±0.828, the statistical deviation was significant at p≤0.05. Thus: the cytosine C score, in combination with the dynamics of abdominal perfusion tick, can be considered as a marker that may predict the development of renal insufficiency in patients with SIGA-AKS.

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.
