The value of combined hemodynamic, respiratory and intra-abdominal pressure monitoring in predicting acute kidney injury after major intraabdominal surgeries
Background: The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is predominantly determined by renal hemodynamics. Beside arterial blood pressure, the role of factors causing a deterioration of venous congestion (intraabdominal pressure, central venous pressure, mechanical ventilation) has emerged. The value of combined hemodynamic, respiratory and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring in predicting postoperative acute kidney injury has received only limited exploration to date. Methods: Data were collected for adult patients admitted after major abdominal surgery at nine Hungarian ICUs. Hemodynamic parameters were compared in AKI vs. no-AKI patients at the time of admission and 48 h thereafter. Regarding ventilatory support, we tested mean airway pressures (Pmean). Effective renal perfusion pressure (RPP) was calculated as MAP−(IAP + CVP + Pmean). The Mann–Whitney U and the chi-square tests were carried out for statistical analysis with forward stepwise logistic regression for AKI as a dependent outcome. Results: A total of 84 patients (34 ventilated) were enrolled in our multicenter observational study. The median values of MAP were above 70 mmHg, IAP not higher than 12 mmHg and CVP not higher than 8 mmHg at all time-points. When we combined those parameters, even those belonging to the ‘normal’ range with Pmean, we found significant differences between no-AKI and AKI groups only at 12 h after ICU admission (median and IQR: 57 (42–64) vs. 40 (36–52); p < .05). Below it’s median (40.7 mmHg) on admission, AKI developed in all patients. If above 40.7 mmHg on admission, they were protected against AKI, but only if it did not decrease within the first 12 h. Conclusions: Calculated effective RPP with the novel formula MAP−(IAP + CVP + Pmean) may predict the onset of AKI in the surgical ICU with a great sensitivity and specificity. Maintaining effective RPP appears important not only at ICU admission but during the next 12 h, as well. Additional, larger studies are needed to explore therapeutic interventions targeting this parameter

Influence of body position, PEEP and intra-abdominal pressure on the catheter positioning for neurally adjusted ventilatory assist
Increasing abdominal pressure with and without PEEP: effects on intra-peritoneal, intra-organ and intra-vascular pressures
Intra-organ and intra-vascular pressures can be used to estimate intra-abdominal pressure. The aim of this prospective, interventional study was to assess the effect of PEEP on the accuracy of pressure estimation at different measurement sites in a model of increased abdominal pressure

Gastrointestinal function in intensive care patients: terminology, definitions and management. Recommendations of the ESICM Working Group on Abdominal Problems
Acute gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and failure have been increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. The variety of definitions proposed in the past has led to confusion and difficulty in comparing one study to another. An international working group convened to standardize the definitions for acute GI failure and GI symptoms and to review the therapeutic options
