PORTAL VENOUS GAS – RARE DIAGNOSTIC SIGN OF ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT-SYNDROME
https://doi.org/10.17802/2306-1278-2018-7-2-146-151
Abstract
Portal venous gas in adults is associated with the development of abdominal compartment syndrome and can be used as a probable ultrasound diagnostic criterion. The case presents a patient aged 46 years after orthotopic heart transplant who developer abdominal syndrome in the intensive care unit postoperatively. Portal venous gas was a random finding during routine abdominal cavity ultrasound examination. Portal venous gas is a prognostically unfavorable sign. The early diagnosis can reduce the associated risk of death. Routine use of bedside ultrasound allows timely and accurately determining the presence of portal venous gas.
