Clinical Trial: Clinical Significance of Intra-abdominal Hypertension in Surgical Patients With Severe Sepsis
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]
Official Title: Observational Study of Relationship Between Intra-abdominal Hypertension and Severe Sepsis in Surgical Patients
Brief Summary:
- Intra-abdominal pressure(IAP) is defined as a steady state pressure of the abdominal cavity
- many studies have proved IAP as a prognostic factor that elevated IAP influences hemodynamics and multiple organs dysfunction
- In previous studies, most of them was based on the septic patients of medical diseases. And it is rare about sepsis of surgical diseases such as traumatized or postoperative patients
- We hypothesized that intra-abdominal hypertension may affect clinical course such as length of stay of intensive care unit, weaning of mechanical ventilation, proceeding of enteral feeding and mortality
- Our study was aimed to investigate prevalence of IAH and risk factors and to analyze clinical course and prognosis influenced by IAH in surgical patients with severe sepsis
