Abdominal compartment syndrome can result from primary abdominal pathology (e.g. bowel obstruction), but it can also occur due to systemic inflammation combined with large-volume resuscitation. As such, abdominal compartment syndrome is probably more frequent than generally perceived, functioning as an occult driver of multi-organ failure. Treatment is based upon physiological properties, involving many therapies aside from simply opening the abdomen.

Excellent PODCAST from Josh. Straight to the point and following WSACS consensus.
I missed comments on the use of POCUS on IAH/ ACS cases.
We have published a paper on the subject at AIT Journal.
Cheers and Congratularikns for the initiative.

Excellent podcast as always. How about a podcast on bowel regimens for opioid induced constipation 🙂
EXCELLENT!
