AI Article Synopsis
- The abdominal compartment syndrome can result from trauma or surgical procedures but can also occur secondary to conditions like burns requiring heavy fluid resuscitation.
- A case report details a patient who developed secondary abdominal compartment syndrome during elective coronary revascularization, complicating the weaning process from cardiopulmonary bypass.
- Successful recovery was achieved after performing a decompressive laparotomy, allowing the patient to be weaned from bypass.
Article Abstract
The abdominal compartment syndrome has been associated with trauma or primary abdominal procedures. The secondary abdominal compartment syndrome which is not associated with a primary abdominal process is seen in burns and other clinical situations where aggressive fluid resuscitation is needed. This case report describes a secondary abdominal compartment syndrome that occurred during an elective coronary revascularization which resulted in an inability to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After a decompressive laparotomy was done, the patient was successfully weaned from bypass.
