Clinical Trial: Intra-Abdominal Pressure, Respiratory Mechanics, and Ventilator Liberation After Emergency Major Laparotomy

U.S., Oct. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07889609) titled 'Intra-Abdominal Pressure, Respiratory Mechanics, and Ventilator Liberation After Emergency Major Laparotomy' on Oct. 16.

Brief Summary: This prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), respiratory system mechanics, and successful liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) following emergency major laparotomy.

Increased intra-abdominal pressure may impair respiratory mechanics by reducing chest wall compliance, increasing airway pressures, and limiting diaphragmatic movement. These physiological ch...
