Abstract

To compare intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurements obtained from an intragastric Compliance catheter with the pressure measured directly in the abdominal cavity. Prospective cohort study in an operating room of the Ghent University Hospital Seven patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. IAP was obtained from both an intragastric catheter and directly from the peritoneal cavity at 1-minute intervals in patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy and compared using Bland-Altman analysis. In 156 paired measurements obtained from 7 patients the mean difference between IAPgastric and IAPref was 0.12+/-0.70 mmHg (95% CI 0.01-0.23). IAP measured using an intragastric Compliance catheter reliably reflects the reference IAP in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
