Title: | Repeatability of intra-abdominal pressure measurement in pregnancy | Authors: | VAN CAUWELAERT;, Stefan STAELENS, Anneleen TOMSIN, Kathleen Mesens, Tinne GYSELAERS, Wilfried |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | World Congress of Intra-abdominal pressure, Carthagena, Columbia, May 22nd - 25th 2013 | Abstract: | It is well known that an elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) can lead to harmful and even lethal conditions. IAP is thought to be an underestimated factor in a variety of pathophysiological processes outside critical care, like in complications of pregnancy. To assess the significance of IAP in some pregnancy-related diseases, a reliable and repeatable method needs to be established to measure IAP in the pregnant population. The FoleyManometer Low Volume (FMLV) (Holtech Medical, Charlottenlund, Denmark) is a safe, easy to use and cost-effective device to measure IAP via the urinary bladder. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/15160 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
