The comorbid illnesses of obesity adversely affect virtually every organ system. The pathogenesis of many of these conditions may be related to intra-abdominal hypertension. Weight

Commentary
Michael L. Cheatham
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) has been increasingly documented in recent years to
occur in a wide-variety of critically ill patient populations. In this chapter, Drs. Hamad and
Peitzman identify and describe a clinical scenario in which IAH may develop in a nonacute,
chronic setting: the morbidly obese patient. As with IAH in the critically ill, elevated
intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in the morbidly obese patient can have far reaching effects on
cerebral, cardiac, pulmonary, and renal physiology and function. As illustrated by the authors,
disease processes common to the morbidly obese such as pseudotumor cerebri, obesity
hypoventilation syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux, and stress urinary incontinence are now
recognized as being caused, in large part, by the IAH incurred with an elevated body mass
index (BMI). Further, the propensity to poor fascial healing and increased incisional hernia
rates among the obese has been established as being due to IAH-induced reductions in abdominal wall and rectus sheath blood flow, pathophysiologic changes that, once recognized,
can lead to outcome-altering therapeutic interventions.
This chapter raises three crucial points. First, the IAH-related complications of morbid
obesity as outlined above generally respond to weight loss with resolution of patient symptoms
and improved quality of life. Second, the morbidly obese are potentially at increased risk for
developing symptomatic IAH and even abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) as a result
of preexisting baseline IAH and organ dysfunction. The morbidly obese patient may well develop IAH / ACS either earlier in a given disease process or following a physiologic insult of
reduced severity compared to their nonobese counterpart. Clinicians should have a low threshold for measuring IAP in the obese patient in order to detect what could well be termed “silent
IAH”. Failure to recognize such elevations in IAP may lead to potentially preventable organ
dysfunction and failure in such patients. Third, and perhaps most importantly, just as IAH/
ACS was originally erroneously considered to be a disease process afflicting only the traumatically injured, IAH/ACS can no longer be regarded as solely a disease of the critically ill. As
illustrated in the case of the morbidly obese, IAH clearly occurs outside of the intensive care
unit and even the hospital setting. As a result, the list of accepted risk factors for IAH must be
reconsidered. Just as our understanding of the critically ill patient populations vulnerable to
elevated IAP has evolved, so must our recognition of nontraditional patient populations such
as the morbidly obese. These nonacute patients with silent IAH may well stand to gain as much
from our diagnosis of their elevated IAP as have our critically ill patients.

Abstract
Under-diagnosed and untreated abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a potential
contributing factor to the development of early organ failure seen in patients with severe acute
pancreatitis, and warrants routine measurement of intra-abdominal pressure in all patients
treated for severe pancreatitis. The current estimate of the prevalence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in severe acute pancreatitis is about 40%, with about 10% overall progressing to ACS associated with increased hospital mortality rates. In the majority of cases, the
development of IAH is rapid and mainly due to the combined effects of aggressive fluid resuscitation and the inflammatory process in the retroperitoneum leading to the development of
visceral edema and pancreatic ascites within days or even hours from admission, although in
some cases a delayed form of ACS has been associated with the emergence of infected
peripancreatic necrosis. Percutaneous drainage of large amounts of pancreatic ascites may decrease the intra-abdominal pressure considerably and is the first line treatment if appropriate.
In most cases, however, surgical decompression through a vertical midline incision without
exploring the pancreas further is the most effective and safest procedure. Decompression performed 2-3 weeks after the onset of the disease can be combined with necrosectomy. Primary
fascial closure of the abdominal wall following abdominal decompression can be attempted,
but in most cases the prolonged inflammatory process in the abdomen and the risk of recurrent
ACS favors the use of gradual closure or delayed reconstruction of the abdominal wall.

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Introduction
The mortality rates for severe acute pancreatitis have shown steady decrease from 50-58%
in 1978-1982 to 12-18% in 1993-1997.
prophylactic antibiotic treatment, more accurate indications and timing of surgical intervention,
advances in the monitoring and management of organ dysfunctions, increased use of enteral
nutrition and early endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with common bile duct stone-induced
pancreatitis have been major factors contributing to improved survival. In addition to factors
characterizing patient reserves, such as age or previous cardiovascular medication, the development of multiple organ dysfunction or failure is the major determinant of poor outcome.
Recent data from the Meilahti Hospital, University of Helsinki, Finland show that although
the mortality rates in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and multiple organ failure (MOF)
have improved considerably in the last 15 years (Fig. A1), the cumulative mortality charts (Fig.
A2) show that there is little improvement in the early (within 14 days) mortality rate (Halonen
and Leppäniemi, unpublished data, 2004). There is increasing clinical evidence that a major
part of the deaths in the early phase of the disease, previously thought to be caused by an
overwhelming acute inflammatory reaction leading to “early MOF”, is associated with undiagnosed and untreated abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).
The presence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) can also be used as a predictor of the
severity of acute pancreatitis. In a study of 45 patients with acute pancreatitis using
intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) levels higher than 16 mm Hg as a cut off point, there was a
correlation with the increased IAP and severity of pancreatitis, mortality, peripancreatic infection rate, and need for surgical intervention.
In 2002, the International Association of Pancreatology developed evidence-based guidelines for the surgical management of acute pancreatitis.
grade B and one was grade A. The essence of the recommendations involved the indications for
drainage and/or necrosectomy more than 2 weeks after the onset of the disease in patients with
fine-needle aspiration biopsy proven infected necrosis in patients with sepsis syndrome. Although there was no mention of abdominal compartment syndrome, recommendation six
encompasses all indications indicating early surgery, such as major hemorrhage, intestinal necrosis or perforation: “Early surgery within 14 days after onset of disease is not recommended

grade B)”. Rapidly accumulating evidence supports the inclusion of early monitoring and treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome in the management algorithms of patients with
severe acute pancreatitis.
Prevalence
The true prevalence of IAH in patients with severe acute pancreatitis is not known. In a
study of 41 patients with severe acute pancreatitis, 44% of the patients had IAP levels higher
than 12 mm Hg, and 4 patients (10%) had IAP levels higher than 25 mm Hg with severe organ
dysfunction and undergoing abdominal decompression.
6
In another study of 37 patients treated
in the ICU for severe acute pancreatitis, 10 patients (27%) had IAP levels higher than 25 mm
Hg, with an overall frequency of 10/120 (8%) if all patients with severe acute pancreatitis
treated in other units (surgical ICU, high dependency unit) were included.
patients treated for severe acute pancreatitis in China showed that the overall incidence of IAH
(defined as IAP higher than 15 mm Hg) was 36%.

A study of 297
Thus, it can be estimated that the overall prevalence of IAH in patients with severe acute
pancreatitis is about 40%, and the frequency of ACS requiring surgical decompression
about 10%.
Due to the more aggressive fluid resuscitation policy in the early phase of severe acute
pancreatitis, and the decreasing proportion of patients requiring necrosectomy, it is likely that
the incidences of both early and late onset ACS, respectively, are higher today than in the past.
Severe acute pancreatitis is one of the most common diseases associated with IAH in the
ICU-environment. Among 18 patients treated in a surgical ICU in New York with documented ACS, the underlying condition was severe acute pancreatitis in 3 patients (17%).
8
Time of the Development of ACS
The development of ACS in patients with severe acute pancreatitis occurs most commonly
in the early course of the disease and is probably caused by the combined effects of the aggressive fluid resuscitation and inflammatory process in the retroperitoneum leading to the development of visceral edema and pancreatic ascites.
those who developed organ dysfunction within 72 hours after the onset of symptoms had
a 78% incidence of IAH (>15 mm Hg) compared to 23% in patients with severe acute

with severe acute pancreatitis complicated with ACS showed that in 6 cases (26%) the ACS

ratory failure, 94% cardiovascular and 89% renal failure rate in patients with IAP higher than
12 mm Hg.
Because the pathophysiological responses to the cellular events early in the course of the
disease have the ability to induce organ dysfunction even without the presence of ACS, more
studies are needed to characterize the exact mechanisms, role and magnitude of ACS leading to
early organ failure in severe acute pancreatitis.

Diagnosis
Currently, there is no evidence suggesting that the standard measurement techniques for
IAP could not be applicable and reliable in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. The most
commonly used technique is the bladder pressure measurement through a Foley catheter.
7,12
Due to the nature of the development of ACS in patients with severe acute pancreatitis
with other potential causes for organ dysfunctions, the routine measurement of IAP in all
patients with severe acute pancreatitis is warranted.
Treatment
The treatment of ACS in patients with severe acute pancreatitis is based on the recognition
of the principal cause of the IAH. If an ultrasound examination confirms the presence of large
volumes of pancreatic ascites, the first line treatment would be the percutaneous drainage of
the intraperitoneal exudate which can lead to a significant drop in IAP (Lisi et al 2004, abstract). In most cases, however, visceral edema is the principal factor contributing to the development of ACS, and decompressive laparotomy and temporary abdominal closure with a Bogota
bag or equivalent is the most effective way of decreasing the IAP.
During the last 10 years, the proportion of patients with infected necrosis or other indications for surgical necrosectomy in severe acute pancreatitis has dropped from 30% to about
15% at the Meilahti Hospital, University of Helsinki, Finland (Fig. A3) (Halonen and
Leppäniemi, unpublished data 2004). When needed, the necrosectomy is performed through
a bilateral subcostal incision. Considering the small proportion of patients eventually requiring
necrosectomy and the (intuitively) inadequate decompression provided by a transverse incision, it is probably better to perform the early decompressive laparotomy through a long, vertical midline incision. Because of the unripe nature of the (sterile) necrosis and the risk of
introducing infection to the peripancreatic space, there are no indications to explore the pancreas further or open the gastrocolic ligament at this stage but limit the operation to decompression and drainage of ascites only (Gonzales Santamaria et al 2004, abstract). Moreover,
premature exploration can lead to fatal retroperitoneal bleeding.
If the decompression is done more than 2-3 weeks after the onset of the disease and there is
evidence of extensive necrosis on a CT scan or established infection of the peripancreatic necrosis, it is the policy of the author to perform a necrosectomy in conjunction with the decompressive laparotomy.
The management of the open abdomen following decompression in severe acute pancreatitis is a challenge. There are some isolated reports of primary closure of the abdominal wall
within a week from decompression, and that should be the aim in all cases.

intra-abdominal packing, or other conditions where the initial event leading to ACS can be

rapidly reversed with aggressive management of the fluid balance, the inflammatory process in
severe acute pancreatitis usually continues for several weeks prohibiting the early closure of the
abdominal wall due to the risk of developing recurrent ACS. The best currently available technique and the one used by the author is the utilization of the vacuum-assisted closure technique aiming for gradual closure of the abdominal wall. If not possible, skin grafting over the
bowel and late abdominal wall plastic surgical reconstruction 9-12 months later is the safest
option, although associated with considerable morbidity and discomfort to the patient.

mum IAP value within the first 2 weeks and the mortality rate (Fig. A4). In a logistic regression
analysis, however, only the maximal SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score was an
independent risk factor for hospital mortality.
Although some of the reported survival rates of patients undergoing abdominal decompression for ACS in severe acute pancreatitis are low, 1/3,
is associated with better outcome than delayed decompression or none at all. Among 23 patients with ACS and severe acute pancreatitis, 18 patients underwent decompression with a
mortality rate of 3/18 (17%), whereas 4/5 (80%) of the nonoperatively treated patients died.
Moreover, there were no deaths among patients who underwent emergency abdominal decompression within 5 hours after the confirmation of the presence of ACS.

Abstract
Renal allograft compartment syndrome (RACS) is a specific entity described in the transplanted kidney due to closure of fascia with excessive force and may be predisposed to by large
donors and small recipients, and adult kidneys transplanted in children. It is often relieved by
opening the compartment. Diagnosis is by sonography of the allograft. This section will discuss this special variant of abdominal compartment syndrome.
Introduction
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) affects every human organ system, but is recognized clinically as cardiac, respiratory, and renal dysfunction.
100 years ago, these adverse effects, to which the kidneys are particularly susceptible, have only
recently been widely appreciated, in no small measure due to the works
one of the editors of this volume. IAH has been statistically associated with increased renal
dysfunction, multi-system organ failure, and death.

Raised intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) may begin to affect renal function at only
10 mm Hg and markedly impairs renal function at pressures as low as 20 mm Hg.

As
The Renal Allograft Compartment Syndrome
A specific renal allograft compartment syndrome (RACS) has recently been recognized,
adding another specific syndrome to our ever increasing knowledge of IAH and ACS.

or results in graft turgor/color change or diminished renal artery pulsation. All cases diagnosed
postoperatively have been on the basis of poor physiologic function (urine production) and
abnormal Doppler US examinations rather than thorough measurement of intraperitoneal or
compartment pressures. Without early recognition and reexploration, graft loss is felt inevi-

It may be predisposed to by large donors and small recipients, and especially when an
adult kidney is donated to a child.

In the absence of pressure measurements, the basis for
classifying these cases as true compartment syndromes rather than cases of renal vein thrombosis or vascular kinking has been the absence of these findings on re-exploration. In addtion,
vascular normalization has ensued upon opening of the compartment.

Further study will
be needed to clarify whether the RACS is a localized ACS syndrome or a true generalized
intra-abdominal phenomenon. If determined to be truly intra-abdominal the condition should
be classified as either a specific secondary ACS syndrome, as the site of the raised pressure is
