In critically ill patients an intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is a frequent phenomenon. An IAH is defined as an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) persistently ≥ 12 mm Hg and an abdominal compartment syndrome is defined as an IAP with a persistent pressure ≥ 20 mm Hg in combination with newly occurring organ failure. The bladder pressure serves as a surrogate parameter for the IAP, which should be measured noninvasively in a standardized manner. An undetected and untreated IAH worsens the prognosis of critically ill patients.

D059325	Intra-Abdominal Hypertension	Pathological elevation of intra-abdominal pressure (>12 mm Hg). It may develop as a result of SEPSIS; PANCREATITIS; capillary leaks, burns, or surgery. When the pressure is higher than 20 mm Hg, often with end-organ dysfunction, it is referred to as abdominal compartment syndrome.
