Intra-abdominal hypertension in cardiac surgery patients: a multicenter observational sub-study of the Accuryn registry.

ABSTRACT: Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is frequently present in the critically ill and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Conventionally, intermittent 'spot-check' manual measurements of bladder pressure in those perceived as high risk are used as surrogates for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). True patterns of IAH remain unknown. We explored the incidence of IAH in cardiac surgery patients and describe the intra-and postoperative course of IAP using a novel, high frequency, automated bladder pressure measurement system. Sub-analysis of a prospective, multicenter, observational study (NCT04669548) conducted in three large academic medical centers. Continuous urinary output (CUO) and IAP measurements were observed using the Accuryn Monitoring System (Potrero Medical, Hayward,
