Excerpt

Sir: Intraabdominal pressure (IAP) is elevated in many pediatric patients with critical illnesses, injuries, or surgery. Several methods for measuring intravesical pressure (IVP) have been described [1, 2]. At the acute phase of necrotizing enterocolitis, both fluid resuscitation and medications lead to the development of a third abdominal compartment and, therefore, to IAP elevation, which worsens the bowel ischemia. We are prospectively evaluating IVP as a predictor of death in neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis, and we report our preliminary results. …
