One (8%) was rejected by > 50%. In addition to previous 2006 definitions, the panel also defined the open abdomen, lateralization of the abdominal musculature, polycompartment syndrome, abdominal compliance, and suggested a refined open abdomen classification system. Recommendations were possible regarding intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement, approach to sustained IAH, philosophy of protocolized IAP management and same-hospital-stay fascial closure, use of decompressive laparotomy, and negative pressure wound therapy. Consensus suggestions included use of non-invasive therapies for treating IAH/ACS, considering body position and IAP, damage control resuscitation, prophylactic open abdomen usage, and prudence in early biological mesh usage. No recommendations were made for the use of diuretics, albumin, renal replacement therapies, and utilizing abdominal perfusion pressure as a resuscitation-endpoint. Collaborating Methodological Guideline Development and Clinical Experts produced Consensus Definitions/Clinical Management statements encompassing the most contemporary evidence. Data summaries now exist for clinically relevant IAH/ACS questions, which will facilitate future scientific reanalysis.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:45:19 AEST ]]> The acute phase management of spinal cord injury affecting polytrauma patients: the ASAP study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52188  100.000/mm3 [n = 99 (57.9%)] and prothrombin time (PT)/activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) < 1.5 times the normal control [n = 85 (49.7%)] in patients needing spinal surgery. MRI [n = 160 (93.6%)] and spinal surgery [n = 158 (92.4%)] should be performed after intracranial, hemodynamic, and respiratory stabilization by most respondents. Corticosteroids [n = 103 (60.2%)], ISP/SCPP monitoring [n = 148 (86.5%)], and therapeutic hypothermia [n = 137 (80%)] were not utilized by most respondents. Conclusions: Our survey has shown a great worldwide variability in clinical practices for acute phase management of tSCI patients with polytrauma. These findings can be helpful to define future research in order to optimize the care of patients suffering tSCI.]]> Wed 04 Oct 2023 11:09:50 AEDT ]]> Intra-abdominal hypertension and the abdominal compartment syndrome: updated consensus definitions and clinical practice guidelines from the World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18944 Tue 19 May 2020 06:13:37 AEST ]]> Cesena guidelines: WSES consensus statement on laparoscopic-first approach to general surgery emergencies and abdominal trauma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53987 Thu 25 Jan 2024 13:05:36 AEDT ]]> WSES guidelines on blunt and penetrating bowel injury: diagnosis, investigations, and treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48214 Mon 08 May 2023 15:01:32 AEST ]]> The Operating Room management for emergency Surgical Activity (ORSA) study: a WSES international survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55069 Mon 08 Apr 2024 13:27:57 AEST ]]>
