INTRA-ABDOMINAL HYPERTENSION(IAH) ASSESSMENT ALGORITHM (GIF)

Patients should be screened for IAH/ACS risk factors upon ICU admission and with new or progressive organ failure.

If two or more risk factors are present, a baseline IAP measurement should be obtained.

If IAH is present, serial IAP measurements should be performed throughout the patient’s critical illness.


Pacientes con dos o más factoresde riesgo de IAH / ACS o presencia al ingreso en UCI  de un nuevo oprogresivo fallo orgánico

Medirla  IAP basal

IAP >=12 mmHg?  >NO >Reevaluar

     SI

Initiate treatment to reduce IAP

Avoid excessive fluidresuscitation

Optimize organ perfusion

IAP >20 with new organ failure?  

>>NO >Reevaluar/4h

     SI

Patient has ACS

Identificar y tratar causa/etiologiadesencadenante

PrimaryACS?  o Secondary or RecurrentACS  Is IAP > 25 withprogressive organ failure]

SI

A: Perform / revise abdominal decompression with temporary abdominal closure asneeded to reduce IAP

 Secondary or RecurrentACS

 Is IAP < 25 with progressiveorgan failure

SI

Continue medical treatment optionsto reduce IAP

Medir IAP/APP cada 4 hours 

Realizar resucitación equilibrada tanto de la precarga,contractibiliad y postcarga usando coloides, cristaloides o drogas vasoactivas

AVOID EXCESSIVE FLUID RESUSCITATION

 

APP > 60 mmHg? *

SI

IAP < 12 mmHg consistently?**

SI

 IAH has resolved Decreasefrequency of IAP measurements and observepatient for deterioration 

*Si  APP < 60 mmHg   Volver a A (revisar la descompresiónabdominal)

**Si IAP > 12 mmHg continuar con medidas para reducir la IAP
