| The first textbook devoted to intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, edited by Rao Ivatury, Michael Cheatham, Manu Malbrain, and Michael Sugrue (ISBN: 978-1-58706-196-7, 308 pages) has recently been published by Landes Biosciences. The twenty-three chapters in this state-of-the-art textbook have been written by the world's foremost thought leaders and investigators in IAH/ACS. This textbook covers all aspects of the physiology, diagnosis, monitoring, and management of these common ICU disease processes and should be considered a “must read” by anyone interested in IAH / ACS or considering research in this field. | This supplement to the Acta Clinica Belgica represents the proceedings of the Third World Congress of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome which was held 21-24 March, 2007 in Antwerp, Belgium. The original articles and scientific abstracts and posters contained within this monograph represent the latest, cutting-edge research on intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome. |
| Abdominal Compartment Syndrome may be purchased through the WSACS (soft cover) for either 65 euros (WSACS member) or 75 euros (non-WSACS member) or from Eurekah.com (hard cover) for $169.00. All proceeds from the sale of this textbook aid in the mission of the WSACS. | The Acta Clinica Belgica supplement may be purchased through the WSACS (soft cover) for 65 euros. |

Comments from readers of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome: This book will go down in history as a landmark achievement for being the first to make a comprehensive coverage of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome. Anyone interested in the subject will find it very useful." The book is very informative. Suggestion: it will be great to add at the end of the book all the new formulas that are quickly emerging: Best airway opening pressure, Best PEEP, volume for pediatric bladder filling etc...." |
