Abdominal compartment syndrome in childhood: diagnostics, therapy and survival rate
2011
Purpose
The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in childhood is a rare but dire disease if diagnosed delayed and treated improperly. The mortality amounts up to 60% (Beck et al. in Pediatr Crit Care Med 2:51–56, 2001). ACS is defined by a sustained rise of the intraabdominal pressure (IAP) together with newly developed organ dysfunction. The present study reports on 28 children with ACS to evaluate its potential role in the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of ACS.
