Interaction between intra-abdominal pressure and positive-end expiratory pressure

Interaction between intra-abdominal pressure and positive-end expiratory pressure

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to quantify the interaction between increased intra-abdominal pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure. METHODS: In 30 mechanically ventilated ICU patients with a fixed tidal volume, respiratory system plateau and abdominal pressure were measured at a Positi...
