pubmed:abstractText
The diagnosis of abdominal compartment syndrome depends upon the demonstration of an elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Direct measures of IAP are impractical in the critical care unit; intravesical pressure (IVP) and intragastric pressure (IGP) should represent acceptable surrogate measures. IVP is the preferred measure of IAP in critical care. We considered that IGP represents a practical alternative. The objective of this preliminary study was to observe the relationship between IGP and IAP.
