ABSTRACT:
Intra abdominal pressure (IAP) is defined as the pressure in the peritoneal cavity and an acute rise in this pressure can result in adverse physiological consequences termed Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS). This increase in abdominal pressure can affect multiple organ systems and once a certain stage has been passed, the effects are no longer reversible by decompression. So challenge is to be aware of the condition and act sufficiently early to reverse the effects.
