Die intraabdominelle Hypertension und das abdominelle Kompartmentsyndrom werden nicht
immer erkannt. Dabei stellen sie ein häufiges Problem bei Intensivpatienten dar und
gehen mit erhöhter Mortalität und Morbidität sowie verlängerter Intensivtherapie einher.
Zur Diagnosestellung ist die Blasendruckmessung als Goldstandard eine nichtinvasive,
kostengünstige, einfach bettseitig durchführbare und sichere Methode.
Abstract
An elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) above 12 mmHg is a pathological finding
in critically ill patients. IAP are classified into different degrees of intra-abdominal
hypertension and, in the presence of associated organ failure, as abdominal compartment
syndrome. Both disease entities represent an underestimated factor in intensive care
patients and are associated with increased mortality and prolonged intensive care
and hospital stay. The measurement of intra-abdominal pressure in critically ill patients
in intensive care units is not widely established and there is often considerable
uncertainty regarding measurement conditions and methods. If risk factors are present,
intra-abdominal pressure should be monitored every 4 hours. Bladder pressure measurement
is the gold standard for determining intra-abdominal pressure. The measurement is
a non-invasive, cost-effective, easy to perform bedside and safe method for the patient.
