five anesthetized pigs. Doppler flow probes were used to measure hepatic artery blood flow …

The effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on intestinal blood flow were studied
in eight anesthetized pigs. Mesenteric artery blood flow (MABF), intestinal mucosal blood …

Results Increased IAP resulted in a decrease of MBF to 63% of baseline despite maintaining
normal mean arterial blood pressure. BT occurred principally to the mesenteric lymph …
