Increasing abdominal pressure with and without PEEP: effects on intra-peritoneal, intra-organ and intra-vascular pressures

BACKGROUND Intra-organ and intra-vascular pressures can be used to estimate intra-abdominal pressure. The aim of this prospective, interventional study was to assess the effect of PEEP on the accuracy of pressure estimation at different measurement sites in a model of increased abdominal pressure. METHODS Catheters for pressure measurement were inserted into the stomach, urinary bladder, peri...

Intrapleural Pressures on the Contralateral Side in Pleurisy with Effusion

The intrapleural pressures on the contralateral side in pleurisy with effusion were within the normal range, the normal intrapleural pressures among Indians being ?14 to ?3 cm. of water during inspiration, ?10 to 0 cm. water during expiration, and the mean pressure ?12 to ?2 cm. water (Laha, 1946). Neither the amount nor the duration of effusion had any effect on the intrapleural pressures on t...

the type of investigation is missing. So is the animal species used. Response The type of investigation has been added to the abstract: “The aim of this prospective, interventional study was to assess whether using additional PEEP to increase abdominal pressure interferes with the accuracy of pressure estimation at different measurement sites.” The animal species is mentioned in the methods par...
