Eight databases were searched to identify research published after 2007, including MEDLINE Complete, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL Complete, ProQuest Health & Medical Complete, CNKI, and WANFANG.

IAP measurement has not been adequately integrated into clinical practice, with 18.0-73.0% of intensive care providers reporting they have never measured it. The frequency of IAP measurements and the criteria for determining which patients necessitate such measurements exhibited significant variability across different hospitals. The most frequently mentioned barriers to IAP measurement include a lack of knowledge regarding IAP measurement among adult intensivists, an overreliance on physical examination among pediatric intensivists, uncertainty in interpreting IAP data among adult intensive care nurses, and challenges in identifying populations at high risk of IAH among pediatric intensive care nurses. Diuretics were mentioned most often in the management of IAH/ACS, followed by administration of vasopressors and inotropes, decompressive laparotomy, and judicious administration of fluids and blood products. 37.0-66.3% of adult intensivists would choose a decompressive laparotomy in cases of ACS, whereas pediatric intensivists were less inclined to opt for the same approach.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Since the publication of the WSACS consensus in 2007, there has been an improvement in awareness and knowledge regarding IAP/IAH/ACS among intensive care providers.
