Popis: Beyond the classical ICU, surgical and trauma patients, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH >12 mmHg) contributes substantially to organ disfunction also in critically ill obese patients and pregnant women. Chronic elevation in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is common in obese patients and may be responsible for the pathogenesis of obesity-related comorbidities, such as reduced venous return, pulmonary disfunction, gastroesophageal reflux disease and abdominal wall hernias.
