BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is defined as a sustained
elevation in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) greater than or equal to 12 mmHg. IAH
has been shown to cause organ derangements and dysfunction in the body. Objective
screening of IAH is neither done early enough nor at all thus leading to
significant morbidity and mortality among surgical patients. The epidemiology and
outcome of IAH among surgical patients has not been documented in Uganda. The aim
of this study was to determine the prevalence, incidence and outcome of
intra-abdominal hypertension among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.
METHODOLOGY: Prospective observational study, conducted from January to April
2015 among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Inclusion criteria was; age
>7 yrs, scheduled for emergency laparotomy, able to lie supine. EXCLUSION
CRITERIA: pregnant, failed urethral catheterization, known cardiac, renal and
respiratory disorders. Consecutive sampling was used. IAP, blood pressure, heart
rate, respiratory rate, Sp02, Serum creatinine, Serum urea, and Urine output were
measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 0, 6, 24 and 48 h. IAH was defined
as IAP?>?12 mmHg on three consecutive readings 3 min apart. RESULTS: In total 192
patients were enrolled. Mean age?±?SD was 14.25 (±3.16) yrs in the paediatrics
and 34.4(±13.72) yrs in the adults with male preponderance 65 and 80.7 %
respectively. The prevalence of IAH was 25 % paediatrics and 17.4 % adults and
the cumulative incidence after surgery was 20 % paediatrics and 21 % adults. In
paediatrics, IAH was associated with mortality at 0 h postoperatively,
RRR?=?1:24, 95 % CI (1.371-560.178), p-value 0.048. In adults, the statistically
significant outcomes associated with IAH were respiratory system dysfunction
RRR1:2.783, p-value 0.023, 95 % CI (1.148-6.744) preoperatively and mortality RRR
1:2.933, p-value 0.034, 95 % CI (1.017-8.464) at 6 h, RRR 1:3.769, p-value 0.033,
95 % CI (1.113-12.760) at 24 h postoperatively. CONCLUSION: The prevalence and
incidence of IAH in the paediatrics and adults group in our study population were
high. IAH was associated with mortality in both adult and paediatrics groups and
respiratory system dysfunction in adult group. This calls for objective
monitoring of intraabdominal pressure in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy
with the aim of reducing associated mortality.
