The proposed clinical study protocol is intended to establish the safety, utility, and reliability of using a pressure-sensing capsule present in a patient's gastrointestinal tract for monitoring intraabdominal pressure (IAP). Monitoring IAP in critically ill patients is common in patients admitted to the ICU following a wide variety of surgical interventions. It has been reported that approximately 50% of critically ill patients will develop intraabdominal hypertension (IAH; defined as an IAP >12 mmHg) while in the ICU, which can be life-threatening due to complications resulting from organ dysfunction, organ failure, impaired ventilation and hemodynamic instability. When IAH is persistent and elevated above 20 mmHg the condition is identified as "Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS)", which necessitates close monitoring of patients with IAH in order to reduce the development of ACS. IAP measurements based on technologies employing the bladder, gastric, inferior vena cava, rectal, vaginal and direct intraperitoneal placements have been reported for assessing IAP. However, the gold standard method for monitoring IAP is the use of an intravesical (bladder) Foley catheter manometric technique. PressureDOT® (Dotspace Inc.) is the investigational pressure-sensing capsule that will be assessed in a parallel device clinical study protocol performed in the same patient.

Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects with any contraindication to urinary bladder catheterization or intravesical intra-abdominal pressure measurement, including but not limit:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
