About this trial

This is a prospective observational study to observe the diagnostic efficacy of a quantitative ultrasound assessment plan for pathological accumulation in the abdominal cavity space of critically ill patients, and to explore its correlation with patient clinical outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age > 18 years old;

Expected ICU stay ≥ 72 hours;

Meeting one of the diagnostic criteria for intra-abdominal infection: 1) Single organ infection (such as cholecystitis, appendicitis, diverticulitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, salpingitis, etc.), which may be accompanied by or without peritonitis, even without perforation; 2) Peritonitis, classified as primary, secondary, or recurrent; 3) Intra-abdominal abscess.

Disqualifiers

Patients with wounds, redness, swelling, bleeding, or other conditions at the abdominal measurement points that prevent ultrasound assessment;

Patients with intra-abdominal gas accumulation that affects abdominal ultrasound imaging, making ultrasound quantitative scoring impossible;

Patients who have not undergone abdominal CT examination within 72 hours of ICU admission;

Patients who do not consent to participate in this study.

Trial population

Critically ill patients in the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Ruijin Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
