The role of Cushing ’s reflex and the vasopressin-mediated oligoanuric response to intracranial hypertension in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome

We examined the link between increased intra-abdominal pressure, intracranial pressure, and vasopressin release as a potential mechanism. Intra-abdominal pressure, produced by abdominal-cavity insufflation with carbon dioxide (CO2) during laparoscopic abdominal procedures to facilitate visualization, is associated with various complications, including arterial hypertension and oliguria.
