stopcock are then turned “on” to the patient, and thus turned “off” to IV tubing and the syringe. The third stopcock already being turned “on” to the transducer and patient allows then immediate IAP reading on the monitor (Fig. 18).
In case of a damped signal the flush test should be repeated. After correct reading the third stopcock is turned “on” to the patient and “off” to the transducer, the clamp is removed, the bladder allowed to drain, and the volume of saline utilised is subtracted from the patient’s urine output for that hour.
Sugrue described a similar modified closed system for repeated measurements via the blad­der using a T-piece bladder pressure device.

Firstly, it is important to observe universal pre­cautions and aseptic techniques at all times. The patient requires a urinary catheter. After re­moving the giving set from the transducer, prime the transducer with sterile saline solution, ensuring all air bubbles are removed. Connect to the side port on the bladder T-piece and turn the white tap “off”.
Clean the urinary catheter and drainage tubing connection with alcohol. Insert the bladder T-piece pressure device between the catheter and drainage tubing. The drainage tubing needs to be clamped. This can be achieved by bending it over and inserting into the barrel of a 10 mL syringe.
50 mLs of sterile saline solution is then injected into the bladder. Connect the pressure monitoring cable to the transducer. Select the appropriate label on the monitor. The patient should be supine for the IAP measurements. The transducer is placed in line with the iliac crest, at the mid axillary line. This position should be marked with a reference line in order to reduce intra- and inter-observer variability. Next the pressure transducer needs to be zeroed. Turn the tap “off” to the patient and zero the transducer. “Open” the tap to the patient and

monitoring system in order to get the reading. When the reading has been recorded unclamp the 10 mL syringe from the drainage tubing and remember to deduct 50 mLs from the next hour’s urine output measurement. We will now show a step by step explanation for this tech­nique illustrated with photographs (Fig. 19, steps 1-8).
Advantages and Disadvantages
It has the same inconveniencies related to a fluid-filled system as described with the Kron, Iberti or Cheatham technique. This technique has the same advantages as the Cheatham tech­nique with a required nursing time less than 2 minutes per measurement, a minimized risk of urinary tract infection and sepsis since it is a closed sterile system, the possibility of repeated measurements and reduced cost. Since it is a needle-free system it does not interfere with the culture aspiration port and the risk of injuries is absent. This technique can be used for screen­ing or for monitoring for a longer period of time (2 to 3 weeks).
The Revised Closed System Continuous Measurement Technique (Malbrain and Sugrue)
1
In an anuric patient continuous IAP recordings are possible via the bladder using a closed system connected to the Foley catheter after the culture aspiration port or directly to the Foley catheter using a conical connection piece connected to a standard pressure transducer via pres­sure tubing (Fig. 20).
After initial “calibration” of the system with 50 mL of saline and zeroing at the sypmhysis pubis the transducer is taped at the symphysis or thigh and a continuous IAP reading can be obtained. Daily calibration can be done in oliguric patients after voiding of rest diuresis.
Description
Size 18 F standard three-way catheters is inserted into the patient. The continuous IAP measurement was performed via the irrigation port of the three-way catheter, in which con­tinuous sterile normal irrigation was maintained at 2 mL/h and connected through a two-way stopcock and normal saline filled tubing to a pressure transducer placed in-line with the iliac crest at the mid axillary line. The transducer is zeroed and the continuous IAP measurement is recorded on the bedside monitor.
Advantages and Disadvantages
This technique does not require any major change in the present practice apart from the use of three-way urinary catheters. The monitoring is continuous and does not interfere with the urinary flow through the drainage port of the catheter. This also reduces the potential risk for urinary tract infection. The continuous measurement of IAP also makes it possible to monitor the abdominal perfusion pressure (APP). This method has the advantage in that it includes the patient’s hemodynamics to a certain extent. This method is also time saving for nursing and medical staff. One of the disadvantages of this method is the price difference between the two-way and three-way Foley catheters.
Intermittent IAP Measurement with the AbViser™ (Wolfe Tory)
Description
The AbViser is a sterile two-way valve that is placed between the Foley catheter and the urine collection bag (www.wolfetory.com). One side of the valve is connected to the drainage tubing and the other side to a 3-way stopcock and pressure transducer via arterial pressure tubing. The 3-way stopcock is then connected to an infusion syringe and saline infusion bag via a double check valve. Between IAP measurements urine can drain freely trough the AbViser valve in the “drain” position. When doing an IAP measurement the AbViser valve is turned into the “measure” position, 50 mL of sterile saline is aspirated from the saline infusion bag and injected into the bladder via the double check valve. Then the IAP can be read on the monitor screen (Fig. 21).

Advantages and Disadvantages
This technique allows IAP measurements to be performed in a more consistent, standard­ized way, basically it resembles the modified techniques allowing repeated measurements with a T-piece or ramp with stopcocks as presented above. It has however all other inconveniences that come with any fluid filled system. Although it is much more expensive, it does not allow IAP measurements to be performed that are more accurate and reproducible than the other intermittent techniques, since it is practically based on the same principles. Furthermore until now no clinical data is available.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if one wants to use IBP as estimate for IAP the Cheatham or revised tech­niques are preferred over the Kron or Iberti technique. The revised methods for IAP measure­ment via the bladder maintain the patient’s Foley catheter as a closed system, limiting the risk of infection. Since these are needle-free system they also avoid the risks of needle stick injury

and overcome the problems of leakage and catheter knick in the method described by Cheatham. They are more cost-effective, and facilitate repeated measurements of IAP.
Manometry
The Classic Technique (Malbrain and Harrahill)
Description
A quick idea of the IAP can also be obtained in a patient without a pressure transducer connected by using his own urine as transducing medium, first described by nurse Harrahill. One clamps the Foley catheter just above the urine collection bag. The tubing is then held at a position of 30 to 40 centimetres above the symphysis pubis and the clamp is released (Figs. 22,
23).

The IAP is indicated by the height (in cm) of the urine column from the pubic bone. The meniscus should show respiratory variations. This rapid estimation of IAP can only be done in case of sufficient urine output. In an oliguric patient 50 mL saline can be injected as priming.
Advantages and Disadvantages
It has all the inconveniencies that come along with a fluid-filled system as described before. However since it is needle-free it poses no risks for injuries. It allows repeated measurements, is very inexpensive and fast with minimal manipulation. Harrahill has described a technique, which is a simpler method of IAP measurement. It resembles central venous pressure manom­etry performed in the days before transducers. This technique has the advantage that it can be performed by any member of the health care team at the bedside, and also outside an intensive care location. The diagnosis of raised IAP can be made quickly and easily. This technique also has the potential of being available worldwide. It is a cheaper method and would be suitable for resource limited countries. However, care must be taken to ensure that the urinary catheter system used has an air inlet to avoid the generation of erroneously high pressures due to a closed system. If no air-inlet is available the drainage system needs to be disconnected probably increasing the risk of infection. When using this technique a conversion has to be made from cm H
O to mm Hg and introduces the potential risk for error.37 Since the volume reinstilled

into the bladder is not constant raising questions on accuracy and reproducibility, it has limited clinical implications.
The U-Tube Technique (Lee)
38
Description
In a recent animal study Lee and coauthors compared direct insufflated abdominal pressure with indirect bladder, gastric and inferior vena cava pressures.
38
IBP was measured by both the
standard and U-tube technique (Fig. 24).
With the U-tube technique, the catheter tubing was raised approximately 60 cm above the animal to form a U-tube manometer, and IBP was measured as the height of the meniscus of urine from the pubic symphysis. The authors found a good correlation between the U-tube pressure and other direct and indirect techniques.
Advantages and Disadvantages
It has the same advantages and inconveniences as the classic “Harrahill” technique, as with the previous technique the clinical validation is poor. The major advantage of this technique is that the volume reinstilled into the bladder is more stable (but still not well defined) so it can be used as a quick screening method.

The FoleyManometer Technique (Holtech)
1,39
Description
In 2002 we tested a prototype (Holtech Medical, Copenhagen, Denmark, www.holtech­medical.com) for IAP measurement using the patients’ own urine as pressure transmitting medium.
1,39
A 30 mL container fitted with a bio-filter for venting is inserted between the Foley
catheter and the drainage bag (Figs. 25-33).
The container fills with urine during drainage; when the container is elevated, the clamp between the FoleyManometer and the biofilter is released and 30 mL urine flows back into the patient’s bladder. The zero-reference mark is directly positioned at the symphysis pubis and IAP can be read from the position of the meniscus in the clear manometer tube between the container and the Foley catheter. This manometer tube has units in mm Hg (initially in cm H
O) (Fig. 28).

Bland and Altman showed that both measurements were almost identical with a mean bias of
0.17±0.8 (SD) mm Hg (95% CI 0.03 to 0.3).
Advantages and Disadvantages
The FoleyManometer has no major disadvantages. It allows repeated measurements, is very cost-effective and fast with minimal manipulation, and the 0 mm Hg pressure reference at the symph. pubis is confirmed at each IAP determination. Product refinement and multicentric validation has been done so that this technique can be used in a clinical setting.
Conclusion
The manometry techniques give a rapid and cost-effective idea of the magnitude of IAP and may be as accurate as other direct and indirect techniques. They can easily be done 2-hourly together with and without interfering with urine output measurements. Moreover, the risk of infection and needle stick injury is absent. Multicentre validation is currently undertaken, making them ready for general clinical usage.
