OBJETIVOS: Pacientes com trauma abdominal tratados cirurgicamente são muito suscetíveis ao desenvolvimento de hipertensão intra-abdominal e síndrome do compartimento abdominal, cujo diagnóstico é baseado na medição da pressão intraabdominal associada a parâmetros clínicos. Este estudo teve por objetivos avaliar prospectivamente o comportamento da pressão intra-abdominal de pacientes com trauma abdominal cirurgicamente tratados e identificar se há relação entre tal comportamento e parâmetros clínicos destes pacientes. MÉTODO: A técnica de Kron foi utilizada para medir a pressão intra-abdominal. A casuística foi composta por 17 homens e três mulheres com média de idade de 36,9 anos (D.P. 12,943). O mecanismo de trauma mais freqüente foi contusão abdominal 12 (60%) contra oito (40%) pacientes com ferimentos penetrantes. Os dados foram coletados em 6 e 18 horas de pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: As médias de pressão intra-abdominal foram 10,4 cmH2O (D.P. 3,939) em 6 horas e 10,263 cmH2O (D.P. 3,445) em 18 horas de pós operatório. A análise dos resultados mostrou correlação estatisticamente significante entre o volume de colóides infundidos e a pressão intra-abdominal em 6 e 18 horas pós-operatórias (p = 0,0380 e p = 0,0033 respectivamente). É provável que tal correlação se deva ao edema visceral causado pelo extravasamento capilar de soluções, aumentando a pressão intra-abdominal. CONCLUSÕES: Os achados deste estudo ratificam a idéia de relação entre grandes volumes de infusão venosa, sobretudo colóides, e o aumento da pressão intra-abdominal e destacam a importância da avaliação da pressão intra-abdominal em pacientes com trauma abdominal submetidos a grandes reposições volêmicas, sobretudo as soluções coloidais.

Sob consenso recente em pacientes humanos, os valores basais da pressão intra-abdominal (PIA) e seus prováveis limiares em casos mórbidos, foram estipulados com intuito de favorecer a homogeneidade de estudos científicos, além de fornecer diretrizes para conduta diagnóstica e terapêutica destes pacientes. Valores basais e alterações na pressão intra-abdominal em animais não são ainda suficientemente conhecidos e cientificamente determinados. Médicos veterinários necessitam conhecer melhor os estados mórbidos que cursam com Hipertensão Intra-Abdominal (HIA) ou Síndrome de Compartimento Abdominal (SCA). O presente estudo objetivou testar em cães a técnica já descrita sob consenso na medicina como modelo de mensuração da pressão intra-abdominal, assim como determinar os valores normais para a espécie. Foram utilizados 15 cães hígidos, machos e fêmeas, homogêneos e todos sem raça definida. A mensuração da pressão intra-abdominal foi realizada por meio da técnica indireta de sondagem vesical e utilização de coluna de água com régua graduada em cm de H2O, sendo seu valor final convertido para a unidade de mm de Hg. Foi observado valor mínimo subatmosférico (abaixo de zero mm de Hg) até o valor máximo de 3,75 mmHg. Houve importante variação entre os valores encontrados individualmente em determinados cães, colocando sob discussão questões como massa corporal, freqüência/volume total de solução fisiológica a ser infundida e agitação destes pacientes no momento do exame. Os valores limítrofes encontrados são considerados fisiológicos, indicando confiabilidade da técnica e possibilidade do seu emprego clínico. A ausência de sedação e utilização de sonda uretral não inviabilizou a realização da mensuração, porém podendo culminar numa sub ou superestimativa dos valores encontrados.

OBJETIVO: Determinar a influência da aferição da pressão intra-abdominal na avaliação ultra-sonográfica da junção uretrovesical (JUV) e da uretra proximal (UP) em pacientes com incontinência urinária de esforço (IUE). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo de corte transversal realizado na Unidade de Pesquisa em Incontinência Urinária da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, de janeiro de 2002 a janeiro de 2005. Trinta e seis pacientes com queixas de IUE foram submetidas a ultra-sonografia perineal para avaliação da JUV e da UP com a bexiga praticamente vazia (< 50 ml), com aferição simultânea de pressão intra-abdominal. Para as avaliações, foi utilizado aparelho de ultra-som com transdutor vaginal de 7 MHz e seletor eletrônico de mensuração de imagem real, equipado com computador e câmera fotográfica de resolução instantânea. Para a medida da pressão intra-abdominal, foi utilizado aparelho de urodinâmica com cateter de 10 fr retal acoplado a um balão de sensor para medida da pressão intra-abdominal. RESULTADOS: As pacientes tinham idade entre 25 e 69 anos (média de 46,4 ± 10,2 anos). À manobra de Valsalva, a pressão intra-abdominal variou entre 7 cmH2O e 193 cmH2O (média de 99,3 ± 51,8 cmH2O; mediana de 99,5 cmH2O). Oito das 31 (25,8%) pacientes com hipermobilidade da JUV apresentaram pressão intra-abdominal inferior a 60 cmH2O. Não foi detectada relação estatisticamente significante entre a variação de pressão intra-abdominal e os parâmetros ultra-sonográficos em questão. CONCLUSÃO: Há um índice específico de pressão de deslocamento uretral para cada mulher com IUE. Porém, não há associação significativa entre o aumento de pressão intra-abdominal e aumento de mobilidade da JUV e UP em mulheres com quadro clínico de IUE.

OBJETIVO: Estudar as alterações hemodinâmicas e as repercussões sobre o sistema nervoso central ocasionados pela síndrome do compartimento abdominal. MÉTODO: Utilizou-se cães sem raça definida submetidos à anestesia geral e monitorização das pressões arterial média(PAM), intracraniana(PIC), de perfusão cerebral(PPC), da artéria pulmonar(PAP) e venosa central(PVC), do débito cardíaco(DC) e da freqüência cardíaca(FC). Aumentou-se a pressão intra-abdominal(PIA) para níveis de 10,20,30 e 40cmH2O . Após atingir-se nível PIA=40cmH2O realizou-se a descompressão cirúrgica da cavidade abdominal. Em cada etapa realizou-se a medida dos parâmetros PIA, PIC, PAM, PPC, PVC e DC. RESULTADOS: Observou-se que o aumento da PIA causou as seguintes alterações fisiológicas: aumento progressivo da PIC; aumento da PAM até PIA=20cmH2O e diminuição progressiva da mesma após PIA= 40cmH2O; aumento da PPC até PIA=10cmH2O e diminuição progressiva da mesma após PIA= 30cmH2O; aumento progressivo da PVC; diminuição progressiva do DC após PIA= 30cmH2O; Após a descompressão da cavidade, notou-se o retorno da PIC, PAM, PPC, PVC e do DC para valores próximos aos dos iniciais (antes do aumento da PIA). CONCLUSÕES: Concluímos que o aumento da PIA provocou alterações nos sistemas cardiovascular e nervoso central, que foram revertidas após a descompressão cirúrgica da cavidade abdominal.

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness as measured by scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) after the use of medication to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous or ocular hypertensive patients. METHODS: The authors prospectively enrolled 37 eyes of 37 patients in whom IOP was reduced by more than 25% after the use of medication. The images were obtained before and 15 to 30 days after the introduction of medication. The SLP parameters measured before and after the use of medication were compared using paired Student's t Test. RESULTS: The mean IOP was significantly reduced from 26.57±4.23 mmHg to 16.54 ±2.92 mmHg after the use of medication (p<0.05). None of the 10 SLP analyzed parameters was significantly affected by the reduction of IOP with medication (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, as measured by SLP, is not affected by the reduction of IOP with medication in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

INTRODUCTION: The antibacterial effect of ozone (O3) has been described in the extant literature, but the role of O3 therapy in the treatment of certain types of infection remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.) O3 application in a cecal ligation/puncture rat model on interleukins (IL-6, IL-10) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1 serum levels, acute lung injury and survival rates. METHODS: Four animal groups were used for the study: a) the SHAM group underwent laparotomy; b) the cecal ligation/puncture group underwent cecal ligation/puncture procedures; and c) the CLP+O2 and CLP+O3 groups underwent CLP+ corresponding gas mixture infusions (i.p.) throughout the observation period. IL-6, CINC-1 and IL-10 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Acute lung injury was evaluated with the Evans blue dye lung leakage method and by lung histology. P<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: CINC-1 was at the lowest level in the SHAM group and was lower for the CLP+O3 group vs. the CLP+O2 group and the cecal ligation/puncture group. IL-10 was lower for the SHAM group vs. the other three groups, which were similar compared to each other. IL-6 was lower for the SHAM group vs. all other groups, was lower for the CLP+O3 or CLP+O2 group vs. the cecal ligation/puncture group, and was similar for the CLP+O3 group vs. the CLP+O2 group. The lung histology score was lower for the SHAM group vs. the other groups. The Evans blue dye result was lower for the CLP+O3 group vs. the CLP+O2 group and the cecal ligation/puncture group but similar to that of the SHAM group. The survival rate for the CLP+O3 group was lower than for the SHAM group and similar to that for the other 2 groups (CLP and CLP+O2). CONCLUSION: Ozone therapy modulated the inflammatory response and acute lung injury in the cecal ligation/puncture infection model in rats, although there was no improvement on survival rates.

In humans, when the stability of the trunk is challenged in a controlled manner by repetitive movement of a limb, activity of the diaphragm becomes tonic but is also modulated at the frequency of limb movement. In addition, the tonic activity is modulated by respiration. This study investigated the mechanical output of these components of diaphragm activity. Recordings were made of costal diaphragm, abdominal, and erector spinae muscle electromyographic activity; intra-abdominal, intrathoracic, and transdiaphragmatic pressures; and motion of the rib cage, abdomen, and arm. During limb movement the diaphragm and transversus abdominis were tonically active with added phasic modulation at the frequencies of both respiration and limb movement. Activity of the other trunk muscles was not modulated by respiration. Intra-abdominal pressure was increased during the period of limb movement in proportion to the reactive forces from the movement. These results show that coactivation of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles causes a sustained increase in intra-abdominal pressure, whereas inspiration and expiration are controlled by opposing activity of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles to vary the shape of the pressurized abdominal cavity.

In humans, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is elevated during many everyday activities. This experiment aimed to investigate the extent to which increased IAP-without concurrent activity of the abdominal or back extensor muscles-produces an extensor torque. With subjects positioned in side lying on a swivel table with its axis at L3, moments about this vertebral level were measured when IAP was transiently increased by electrical stimulation of the diaphragm via the phrenic nerve. There was no electromyographic activity in abdominal and back extensor muscles. When IAP was increased artificially to similar to 15% of the maximum IAP amplitude that could be generated voluntarily with the trunk positioned in flexion, a trunk extensor moment (similar to6 Nm) was recorded. The size of the effect was proportional to the increase in pressure. The extensor moment was consistent with that predicted from a model based on measurements of abdominal cross-sectional area and IAP moment arm. When IAP was momentarily increased while the trunk was flexed passively at a constant velocity, the external torque required to maintain the velocity was increased. These results provide the first in vivo data of the amplitude of extensor moment that is produced by increased IAP. Although the net effect of this extensor torque in functional tasks would be dependent on the muscles used to increase the IAP and their associated flexion torque, the data do provide evidence that IAP contributes, at least in part, to spinal stability.

BACKGROUND To validate a new practical Sepsis Severity Score for patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) including the clinical conditions at the admission (severe sepsis/septic shock), the origin of the cIAIs, the delay in source control, the setting of acquisition and any risk factors such as age and immunosuppression. METHODS The WISS study (WSES cIAIs Score Study) is a multicenter observational study underwent in 132 medical institutions worldwide during a four-month study period (October 2014-February 2015). Four thousand five hundred thirty-three patients with a mean age of 51.2 years (range 18-99) were enrolled in the WISS study. RESULTS Univariate analysis has shown that all factors that were previously included in the WSES Sepsis Severity Score were highly statistically significant between those who died and those who survived (p < 0.0001). The multivariate logistic regression model was highly significant (p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.54) and showed that all these factors were independent in predicting mortality of sepsis. Receiver Operator Curve has shown that the WSES Severity Sepsis Score had an excellent prediction for mortality. A score above 5.5 was the best predictor of mortality having a sensitivity of 89.2 %, a specificity of 83.5 % and a positive likelihood ratio of 5.4. CONCLUSIONS WSES Sepsis Severity Score for patients with complicated Intra-abdominal infections can be used on global level. It has shown high sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio that may help us in making clinical decisions.

Despite advances in diagnosis, surgery, and antimicrobial therapy, mortality rates associated with complicated intra-abdominal infections remain exceedingly high. The World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) has designed the CIAOW study in order to describe the clinical, microbiological, and management-related profiles of both community- and healthcare-acquired complicated intra-abdominal infections in a worldwide context. The CIAOW study (Complicated Intra-Abdominal infection Observational Worldwide Study) is a multicenter observational study currently underway in 57 medical institutions worldwide. The study includes patients undergoing surgery or interventional drainage to address complicated intra-abdominal infections. This preliminary report includes all data from almost the first two months of the six-month study period. Patients who met inclusion criteria with either community-acquired or healthcare-associated complicated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) were included in the study. 702 patients with a mean age of 49.2 years (range 18-98) were enrolled in the study. 272 patients (38.7%) were women and 430 (62.3%) were men. Among these patients, 615 (87.6%) were affected by community-acquired IAIs while the remaining 87 (12.4%) suffered from healthcare-associated infections. Generalized peritonitis was observed in 304 patients (43.3%), whereas localized peritonitis or abscesses was registered in 398 (57.7%) patients.The overall mortality rate was 10.1% (71/702). The final results of the CIAOW Study will be published following the conclusion of the study period in March 2013.
