More Information
Summary: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.
