Unexpected Abdominal Compartment Syndrome Following a Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is marked by a significant raise of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) over 20mmHg and increase risk of organ dysfunction or failure [1, 2]. No accurate statistics are available regarding the occurrence of ACS since it depends on the target patient population. However, the ACS incidence's range was from 0.5% to 8% in the general medical and/or surgical population; and from 6% to 14% in trauma patients as reported previously [2-4]. Trauma, major burns, bowel obstruction or swelling, intra-abdominal masses or lesions, large intra-abdominal tumors are among the main ACS risk factors (reviewed by [2, 4]). Given the multifactorial criteria of the risks leading to ACS, a cautious and continuous surveillance of patients and the monitoring of vital signs remain the key to prevent and efficiently treat this syndrome and potential associated organ-dysfunction.
