Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Abdominal Compartment Syndrome : A case report / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening emergency requiring prompt treatment. In these cases, a patient cannot ventilate effectively and oliguria can occur because of the high intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). The mortality rate is very high. Treatment is abdominal decompression and secondary closure. There are very few reports of the anesthetic management of a patient with ACS. We report a 38-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with ACS at the operating room. The IAP was measured and emergency abdominal decompression and "Bogota bag" apply were performed. The respiratory and hemodynamic parameters improved after this treatment.
