Abdominal Compartment Syndrome : Risk Factors, Diagnosis, and Current Therapy

الملخص EN

Abdominal compartment syndrome’s manifestations are difficult to definitively detect on physical examination alone.

At-risk patient populations should be routinely monitored and tiered interventions should be undertaken as a team approach to management.
