Patients with impending abdominal compartment syndrome do not respond to early volume loadingZsolt Balogh
Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery, University of Texas at Houston Medical School, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Am J Surg 186:602-7; discussion 607-8. 2003..05). CONCLUSIONS: Conventional preload directed resuscitation to enhance cardiac function is not effective in patients with impending ACS, and this traditional resuscitation strategy is detrimental in this subgroup of patients...

Department of Surgery, University of Texas Houston Medical School, 77030, USA
J Trauma 53:825-32. 2002..Our hypothesis was that by decreasing the Do I endpoint, less crystalloid would be administered. We compare resuscitation responses to the protocol with goals of Do I > or = 600 versus 500 in two patient cohorts...
