Is this intra-abdominal hypertension? maybe associated with the pancreas? I think we need more info if you can give some please.

Yes, pt had surgery - the pre-op dx was acute alcoholic pancreatitis with liquefaction of the pancreas and abdominal hypertension.

Post-operative dx listed on op note: Abdominal hypertension.
