Too Big to Breathe: Predictors of Respiratory Failure (RF) after Open Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR)
Kathryn Ann Schlosser, Sean R Maloney, Tanushree Prasad, Paul D Colavita, Vedra A Augenstein, Brant T Heniford. Carolinas Medical CenterAims: Increased intra-abdominal pressure after AWR is hypothesized to contribute to postoperative RF. The impact of abdominal subcutaneous fat volume (SQFV), intra-abdominal volume (IAV), hernia volume (HV), and ratio of HV:IAV (loss of domain) is even… Continue Reading
