- Abstract
<bold>Objective: </bold>To compare intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurements obtained from an intragastric Compliance catheter with the pressure measured directly in the abdominal cavity.<bold>Design and Setting: </bold>Prospective cohort study in an operating room of the Ghent University Hospital<bold>Patients: </bold>Seven patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.<bold>Interventions: </bold>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.<bold>Measurements and Results: </bold>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).<bold>Conclusions: </bold>IAP measured using an intragastric Compliance catheter reliably reflects the reference IAP in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
