Aim: Our aim is to investigate the relation between the increase of abdominal pressure and abdominal compartmant syndrome Material and Method: 61 patients admitted to Selçuk Univercity Meram Medical Faculty Emergency Service with diagnosis of acute abdomen were included in this study. The diagnosis were; 25 cases ileus, 13 cases acute pancreatitis, 11 cases mesentery ischemia seviand 12 cases with intestinal perforations. In all cases urine bladder pressures were recorded as the reflection of abdominal pressure. Meanwhile pH, PaCO2, PaO2, SGPT , SGOT, urea and creatinin levels were measured in venous and arterial blood samples. The procedure was repeated consequently 24, 48 and 72 hours. The correlation between abdominal pressure increase and these parameters were evaluated. Results: Increase in abdominal pressure has negative effects on renal, pulmonary and liver organ systems. Renal function effected by 10 cm H2O pressure and was obviously affected after 20 cm H2O pressure. The increase of abdominal pressure causes respiratory alcholosis; at initial time and hypoxia, hypercarbia, metabolic acidosis and respiratory insuffiency at the late period. Liver enzyms were recorded at high level in abdominal pressure increase. Conclusion: Urine bladder pressure is reflecting abdominal pressure. The incerase of abdominal pressure has positive correlation with urea, creatinin, SGOT, SGPT, and PaCO2 levels and negative correlation with PaO2 and pH levels.
