Conditions
Mechanical Ventilation Complication
Intraabdominal Hypertension
Delirium
Registration Number
NCT03218358
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and delirium are serious, high-frequency complications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The consequences of the complication range from high morbidity and mortality to a greater need for nursing care. We hypothesize that there could be a correlation between IAH and incidence of delirium.
