EFFECT OF INCREASED INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE ON HEPATIC ARTERIAL, PORTAL VENOUS, AND HEPATIC MICROCIRCULATORY BLOOD FLOW

The effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on hepatic perfusion were studied in five anesthetized pigs. Doppler flow probes were used to measure hepatic artery blood flow (HABF) and portal venous blood flow (PVBF), and laser Doppler flowmetry was used to assess changes in hepatic microv... View More
