The dog with tetraplegia was presented for magnetic resonance imaging and cervical ventral slot decompression. Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was measured every hour after surgery, along with respiratory rate, heart rate, and arterial pressure. Three hours after surgery, abdominal distension with agitation and respiratory distress were observed, and IAP rose to 12 mmHg, indicating mild intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Additional fentanyl and ketamine CRI did not alleviate IAH and acepromazine (0.01 mg/kg, IV) was administered to alleviate the agitation and respiratory distress. After acepromazine administration, the agitation subsided and IAP dropped to 4 mmHg. During the next 24 hours, the patient's vital signs and IAP remained stable, with normal urine output. This case report suggests the possibility of postoperative IAH monitoring in dogs. However, considering the nature of a single surgical case of cervical ventral slot, further study is required for indication of IAH monitoring.

연구배경: IAP의 증가는 혈류량을 감소시켜 여러 장기에 영향을 준다. IAH는 IAP가 12 mmHg 이상 또는 APP가 60 mmHg 이하로, ACS는 IAP가 20 mmHg 이상이면서 동시에 하나 이상의 장기 손상이 있는 경우로 각각 정의한다. 저자들은 중환자에서 IAH 및 ACS의 유병률과 이들이 환자의 예후에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 하였다. 방 법: 고려대학교 의료원 중환자실에 입원하는 내과계 환자를 대상으로 하여, APACHE II 및 III 점수, SAPS II 점수를 기록하였다. IAP는 삼중관 요도관을 통하여, 입원 7일째까지 매일 3회 측정하였고, 환자가 사망하거나 일반 병실로 전실 또는 요도관을 제거할 때까지 계속하였다. 환자의 예후는 28일을 기준으로 판단하였다. 결 과: 총 111명 대상 환자들의 입원 1일 IAH 및 ACS의 유병률은 각각 47.7%, 15.3%였다. 사망군과 생존군 사이에 IAH의 유병률은 유의한 차이가 없었으나, ACS는 사망군에서 더 높았다 (p=0.004). 사망군에서 IAP는 더 높았고 (p=0.012), APP는 유의하게 낮았다 (p<0.001). 결 론: 중환자에서 입원 1일에 측정한 IAP의 증가, APP의 감소 및 ACS 발생은 환자의 사망과 연관이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Symptomatic extravasation of irrigation fluid is a rare complication of hip arthroscopy. However, depending on the amount of fluid, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) may occur and even develop into abdominal compartment syndrome, which can seriously alter hemodynamic circulation. Therefore, it is important for anesthesiologists to promptly recognize the abnormal signs of IAH for early diagnosis and better clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, these signs are difficult to detect because they are usually obscured when the patient is under anesthesia and masked by surgical drapes. We report a case of IAH under general anesthesia during hip arthroscopy to highlight possible symptoms and signs.

본 연구는 특정 수단으로 목표를 달성하는 과정에서 예기치 못한 추가적인 목표가 탐색되었을 때, 추가 목표에 대한 수단의 효과성 평가가 개인의 내재적인 우연수용성 수준에 의해 영향을 받는지를 검증하기 위해 수행되었다. 구체적으로, 본 연구는 우연수용성이 높거나 낮은 참가자들에게 특정 수단(운동과 저축)과 관련성이 높거나 낮은 추가적인 목표를 성취하는데 있어서 수단이 얼마나 효과적인지 평가하도록 하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 우연수용성이 높은 사람들은 우연수용성이 낮은 사람들보다 원래의 목표외에 추가적인 목표들에 대해서도 현재의 수단이 더 효과가 있을것이라 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 그러나 이러한 결과는 추가적인 목표가 원래의 수단-목표 연결과 관련성이 높을 때에만 발견되었다. 즉, 추가적인 목표가 원래의 수단-목표 연결과 관련성이 낮은 경우에는 우연수용성이 높거나 낮은 사람들 간의 추가적인 목표에 대한 수단의 효과성 평가에서 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 목표 체계 이론(goal systems theory)과 우연수용성 개념을 중심으로 연구의 시사점과 추후 연구에 대한 논의가 이루어졌다.

Purpose: There is increasing interest in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in critically ill patients. This study investigated the effects and outcomes of elevated IAP in a trauma intensive care unit (ICU) population. Methods: Eleven consecutive critically ill patients admitted to the trauma ICU at Pusan National University Hospital Regional Trauma Center were included in this study. IAP was measured every 8-12 hours (intermittently) for 72 hours. IAP was registered as mean and maximal values per day throughout the study period. IAH was defined as $IAP{\geq}12mmHg$. Abdominal compartment syndrome was defined as $IAP{\geq}20mmHg$ plus ${\geq}1$ new organ failure. The main outcome measure was in-hospital mortality. Results: According to maximal and mean IAP values, 10 (90.9%) of the patients developed IAH during the study period. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was significantly higher in patients with $IAP{\geq}20mmHg$ than in those with IAP <20 mmHg (16 vs. 5, p=0.049). The hospital mortality rate was 27.3%. Patients with a maximum $IAP{\geq}20mmHg$ exhibited significantly higher hospital mortality rates (p=0.006). Non-survivors had higher maximum and mean IAP values. Conclusions: Our results suggest that an elevated IAP may be associated with a poor prognosis in critically ill trauma patients.

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening disorder caused by rapidly increasing intra-abdominal pressure. ACS can result in multiorgan failure and carries a mortality of 60~70%. The treatment of choice in ACS is surgical decompression. There are very few reports of ACS and experience in Korea. We report 12-year-old male patient who developed an abdominal compartment syndrome due to traffic-accident-induced retroperitoneal hematomas, Which was successfully treated by performing a bedside emergency surgical decompression with open linea alba fasciotomy with intact peritoneum. When patients do not respond to medical therapy, a decompressive laparotomy is the last surgical resort. In patients with severe abdominal compartment syndrome, the use of a linea alba fasciotomy is an effective intervention to lower intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) without the morbidity of a laparotomy. Use of a linea alba fasciotomy as a first-line intervention before committing to full abdominal decompression in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome improves physiological variables without mortality. Consideration for a linea alba fasciotomy as a bridge before full abdominal decompression needs further evaluation in patients with polytrauma abdominal compartment syndrome.
