Abstract:
Objective To perform the sample survey on the recognition degree of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) among domestic pediatric healthcare providers (PHCP) Methods Three hundred self‐designed questionnaires were distributed to the participants at the twelfth Chinese Medical Association Congress of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine in November 2011 .Results A total of 194 effective questionnaires were reclaimed with the recovery rate of 64 .7% .28 .9% (56/194)of respondents did not heard of ACS .49 .5% (96/194)of them heard of ACS ,but did not contact ACS .Only 21 .6% (42/194)of respondents were well fa‐miliar with ACS .Among the medical staffs who were aware of ACS (familiar or just heard of ) ,only 7 .2% (10/138)knew the real definition of ACS .83 .3% (35/42) of respondents who were familiar with ACS used the intravesical route to measure the intra -ab‐dominal pressure(IAP) .However ,only 57 .1% (20/35)of respondents knew the correct saline volume for measuring IAP .Conclusion The recognition degree of ACS is low among domestic PHCP .It is necessary to strengthen the ACS related education among do‐mestic PHCP for increasing the awareness of ACS and promoting its treatment .
