Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer can lead to peritoneal metastasis in a significant percentage of cases, often requiring treatments like hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which carries risks of serious complications such as abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).
- A case study of a 52-year-old woman highlighted complications during HIPEC, including sudden airway pressure increases and hypotension, leading to a diagnosis of pneumothorax and ACS, ultimately requiring emergency surgical intervention.
- The discussion emphasizes the importance of early detection and management of ACS during HIPEC, as well as the necessity of monitoring intra-abdominal pressure and checking for potential diaphragm injuries prior to starting the procedure.
