Abstract: In cases of acute severe pancreatitis mortality rate remains high. Few of these patients develop increased intra abdominal pressure. This study used utility of intra abdominal pressure monitoring to assess severity of severe acute pancreatitis and its comparison with CT severity index and to predict prognosis of patients of acute severe pancreatitis by measuring intra abdominal pressure and to assess outcome. Frequent measurement of IAP during intensive care is important in predicting mortality in severe acute pancreatitis and recognizing patients potentially benefitting from decompressive laparotomy.
