Defining Abdominal Pressure Complications After Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is updating medical definitions for a serious condition called abdominal compartment syndrome—where pressure builds up in the belly after surgery or critical illness. The research involves expert doctors and patients who have experienced this condition, working together to clarify what it is and how to recognize it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how often patients develop pressure injuries (sores from lying in one position too long) during long brain surgeries. It tracks patients before, during, and after surgery to find ways to prevent these injuries.
This study compares two pressure settings used during keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to see which pressure approach works better and is safer for kids during surgery that creates an air-filled space in the belly.
