The Abdominal Compartment Society (WSACS) developed a medical management algorithm with a stepwise approach to keep intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) ≤ 15 mm Hg. The role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a bedside modality in the critical care patients is not well studied in relation to the intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) management algorithm.
