ABSTRACT
The authors explain what an Abviser Kit consists of as an appropriate technique to measure intra-abdominal pressure, especially for patients in critical condition who have a depressed immune system since this deals with a closed system which prevents the movements a bladder catheter causes. This method minimizes the risk of infection, shortening hospital stays.

Se explica en qué consiste el Kit de AbviserTM como una técnica acertada para medir la presión intraabdominal (PIA), sobre todo en pacientes en estado crítico con sistema inmunodeprimido, ya que se trata de un sistema cerrado que impide las manipulaciones de la sonda vesical. Ello supone minimizar los riesgos de infección, acortando las estancias en el medio hospitalario(AU)
