Intraabdominal Hypertension
Conditions
Brief summary
Measuring intraabdominal pressure in the semi-recumbent position and supine position.
Detailed description
Each set of measurements of intraabdominal pressure included intra bladder and intragastric pressure in the supine position followed by the semi-recumbent position at head of bed 30. All four measurements were taken over a period of 5 to 10 min or less to reduce the possibility of changes in intraabdominal pressure over time. Three sets of readings were taken at least 4 h apart over a 24-h period.
Interventions
the intraabdominal pressure will be measured by nasogastric tube when the head of bed elevated to 30 degree
the intraabdominal pressure will be measured by urinary catheter when the patient in supine position
