Growth of Intra-Abdominal Pressure Measurement Devices Market Is Expected To Continue At a Very Fast Pace in the Coming Years

 

The global intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices market is expected to witness significant growth in the near future, according to Coherent Market Insights. Intra-abdominal pressure is usually the steady state pressure contained within the abdominal cavity during sleep. It is measured with a probe that is inserted in the abdominal area through a hole in the skin. The measurement is taken as part of a sleep study. This is an important measurement in various clinical disciplines including medicine, neurology and ophthalmology. These devices have gained much popularity in the field of medicine and its allied fields because they can detect a wide range of health problems and can be very reliable.

A variety of intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices are available in the markets today. They come in different shapes and sizes for easy handling. They can be used to measure arterial blood flow, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation. The devices are manufactured and marketed by a number of companies from many countries across the globe including the U.S., Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan.

Most of these intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices use one of four basic body technology types. These are pressure transducers, resistive end sensors, computerized sensors or a combination of any of these. Most of them are reliable and accurate but there are those which have some disadvantages. For instance, when the patient moves the probe around the abdominal cavity, this may lead to inaccuracies. 

The growth of the intra-abdominal pressure measurement devices market is expected to continue at a very fast pace in the coming years. This is primarily due to the introduction of new advanced technology like Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) software to perform more accurate and easier task of diagnosing the patient's condition. This software has the ability to generate a digital image of the cardiovascular structure of the cranium and cranial cavity. This method can also predict the growth and expansion of the cranium and the associated cartilage. The software can also identify the localization of the focal nerves.
