Normal range of Bladder Pressure? Also what's the difference between bladder pressure and Intra-abdominal Pressure?

Question

Hey everyone I'm trying to find the normal range of bladder pressure for male adults, female adults, and children; but every site I look at simply talks about Intra-abdominal pressure values instead of bladder pressures. Does anyone out there know the normal ranges of bladder pressure for adult males, adult females, and children possibly from first had experience working at a hospital or such?

Also would anybody be able to clear up the difference between Intra-abdominal pressure and bladder pressure? It's confusing me, because I realize that liquid must be inserted into the BLADDER to find the intra-abdominal Pressure... is this value the same as the bladder pressure?

Any help is appreciated!

Normal Bladder Pressure

I've never seen normal bladder pressure ranges.

Sometimes, the abdomen will seem to swell after abdominal surgery. Since there's no way to directly measure the pressure inside the abdomen, bladder pressure is used as a 'surrogate' for abdominal pressure.

If the bladder pressure increases over time, that implies that the abdominal pressure is increasing. This is often known as abdominal compartment syndrome. It's treated by re-opening the abdomen to release the pressure.
