Abstract

The abdominal cavity is the space limited by the diaphragm above and the musculo-aponeurotic perineum below, the lumbosacral spine posteriorly and the walls of the abdominal cavity anterolaterally. Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is a steady-state pressure within the abdominal cavity and while transient rapid increases occur during muscular activity and straining,1 the normal range is 0-5 mmHg. What constitutes increased intraabdominal pressure is arbitrary, and while some authors define an increase as a pressure ≥10 mmHg² others suggest ≥14 mmHg³ ≥18 mmHg⁴ or ≥20 mmHg^5,6 It would be reasonable to assume that an IAP ≥15 mm. Hg is elevated.
