Table 2
Established risk factors for IAH/ACS in acute abdominal vascular catastrophe.
Adapted from WSACS consensus definitions, 2004 [21]
Hemoperitoneum and retroperitoneal hematoma
Massive fluid resuscitation (>5 L colloid or crystalloid/24 h)
Polytransfusion (>10 U packed red blood/24 h)
Coagulopathy (platelets <55,000/mm3 or activated partial
thromboplastin time two times normal or higher or prothrombin
time <50% or international standardized ratio >1.5)
Hypothermia (core temperature <33°C)
Acidosis (pH < 7.2)
Lengthy cross-clamp time or balloon-occlusion time
