True about abdominal compartment syndrome include the following except:
Ans. (b) Decreased pulmonary venous pressure* Choice a: CVP >150cmH2 O- Correct* Choice b: Decreased pulmonary venous pressure - wrong - pulmonary Venous pressure, PCWP, Pulmonary artery pressure, CVP are all increased* Choice C - IAP is measured via Foley's catheter - Correct * Choice d - ARDS starts at pressures above >30mmHg is correct
>15 cm of H2O
Decreased pulmonary venous pressure
IAP Measured using Foley's catheterization of bladder
With >25-30 mm Hg IAP, life threatening hypoxia and ARDS can occur
Trauma
