Conditions
Brief summary
Intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) can lead to morbidity and mortality if untreated. Conditions that contribute to IAH and ACS development are decreased abdominal wall compliance (hernia repair, burns), increased intraabdominal volume (bowel obstruction, ileus, ascites, tumor), capillary leak (aggressive fluid resuscitation in sepsis and trauma), etc. Incidence and risk factors of IAH and ACS in children are not studied well. Beside this intraabdominal pressure monitoring and prompt treatment of IAH and ACS are not standard care in PICUs. We plan to study incidence and risk factors of IAH and ACS in critically ill children and to draw attention to this problem among intensivists in Ukraine.
Interventions
Number of children with intraabdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in 50 PICUs in Ukraine will be registered. These conditions will be registered in all children who are hospitalized in PICU on a certain day in 2018 year. Responsible person of each PICU will have 1 certain day to register these conditions and second day to send information to investigators. Beside this underlying conditions, ventilation, hemodynamics, diuresis etc. will be analyzed. After data collection conclusions about incidence and its dependance on other variables will be made.
