First suggested in 1863 by Marey, abdominal compartment syndrome,
(ACS), is a constellation of the physiologic sequelae of increased
intra-abdominal pressure, (IAP), termed intra-abdominal
hypertension, (IAH). Recent observations suggest an increasing
frequency of this complication in all types of patients, neonates
to the elderly and in diverse clinical conditions, surgical to
non-surgical. Even chronic elevations of IAP seem to effect the
various organ systems in the body. Despite its obvious clinical
implications, not enough attention is paid to IAP and IAH. ACS is
still not uniformly appreciated or diagnosed. Only a few medical
and surgical intensivists believe in the concept of IAH and
actively attempt its prevention and treatment. The result, as is
strongly substantiated by retrospective and prospective data, is a
successful reduction in organ failures and mortality. Abdominal
compartment syndrome is a condition that, until recently, has been
poorly appreciated, despite important potential implications for
all organ systems. Recent interest has helped clarify the local and
systemic effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure and
heightened awareness of the importance of early recognition and
treatment. This book, written by international experts in the
field, follows the first World Congress on Abdominal Compartment
Syndrome held in Noosa, Australia in December 2004, and provides an
excellent update on this topical subject. Comprehensively
constructed, this book covers all key aspects of the syndrome, from

information and opinion on abdominal compartment syndrome, which
