Description
Summary:BACKGROUND: Numerous measurement techniques for intra-abdominal pressure have been explored, with the Kron Technique established as the gold standard. Despite its prominence, the search for alternative methods persists due to its lengthy application time, the requirement for additional equipment, and overall impracticality. This study investigated a quicker, more accessible method for effective intra-abdominal pressure measurement in the emergency department. It aimed to compare intra- abdominal pressure measurements in patients diagnosed with ileus using a digital manometer and the Kron Technique. METHODS: Conducted from October 2022 to February 2023, this single-center, prospective, single-blind method comparison study involved patients diagnosed with ileus at a tertiary emergency department. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured using both the Kron Technique and a digital manometer by separate practitioners blinded to the study results. RESULTS: The study included 30 patients. No statistically significant difference was observed in the intra- abdominal pressure measurements between the two methods (p
