Abstract

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Acute Pancreatitis

Detrusor Muscle Contraction

Paralytic Ileus

Surgical Decompression

The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) follows the same pathophysiological principles as other compartment syndromes: increased pressure in a confined space compromises lymphatic and vascular flow leading to hypoperfusion.
