Intra-abdominal Pressure Monitoring in Patients With Open Abdomen Undergoing Early Closure

Completed

Conditions studied: Open Wound of Other and Unspecified Parts of Abdomen

In brief

The investigators will monitor the pressure generated inside the abdomen in a patient in whom the surgeon, for whatever reason, felt that the abdomen could not be closed at the initial operation. The investigators will aggressively treat rises in intra-abdominal pressure and see what changes, if any are found when the abdomen finally is closed.
