Abstract Intra-abdominal hypertension the presence of elevated intra-abdominal pressure and abdominal compartment syndrome the development of pressure-induced organ-dysfunction and failure have been increasingly recognized over the past decade as causes of significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill surgical and medical patients. Elevated intra-abdominal pressure can cause significant impairment of cardiac pulmonary renal gastrointestinal hepatic and central nervous system function. The significant prognostic value of elevated intra-abdominal pressure has prompted many intensive care units to adopt measurement of this physiologic parameter as a routine vital sign in patients at risk. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiologic implications of elevated intra-abdominal pressure is fundamental to 1 recognizing the presence of intraabdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome 2 effectively resuscitating patients afflicted by these potentially life-threatening diseases and 3 preventing the development of intra-abdominal pressure-induced end-organ dysfunction .
