Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of high intra-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury and discuss the clinical significance of abdominal decom-pression. Methods Intra-abdominal pressure and intracranial pressure of 15 patients with abdominal trauma and brain injury were observed to discuss changes of intracranial pressure after abdominal decom-pression. Results After abdominal decompression, all patients got lower intracranial pressure, with decrease of (15.2±3.6) mm Hg. Conclusion Intra-abdominal pressure does affect intracranial pres-sure for patients with abdominal trauma and brain injury. Abdominal decompression may be effective for high intracranial pressure.
