Abdominal compartment syndrome

Ventricular syndrome (compartment syndrome) refers to the performance of tissue function and circulatory disorders caused by increased pressure in a confined space. Ventricular septum syndrome occurs mostly in the interstitial compartment of the limb, called osteofascial compartment syndrome. If it occurs in the eyeball, it is called glaucoma. When it occurs in the cranial cavity, it is called intracranial hypertension syndrome. It is called abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Abdominal compartment syndrome refers to organ failure or organ dysfunction caused by a progressive sharp increase in intra-abdominal pressure, also known as acute intraabdominal hypertension (AIH) or abdominal hypertension syndrome and abdominal subcutaneous syndrome. Under physiological conditions, the intra-abdominal pressure is zero (equivalent to atmospheric pressure) or near zero. Any increase in the content of the abdominal cavity can cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, but in chronic conditions such as ascites, pregnancy and giant tumors in the abdominal cavity, the content of the abdominal cavity slowly increases, the abdominal wall is gradually stretched, and the intra-abdominal pressure does not increase sharply. The occurrence of acute abdominal hypertension does not cause ACS. Therefore, ACS is a syndrome that occurs only after acute intra-abdominal hypertension occurs to a certain degree.
