Effect of increased intra-abdominal pressure and decompressive laparotomy on aerated lung volume distribution [PDF]
Journal of Zhejiang University: Science B, 2010 Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is common in intensive care patients, affecting aerated lung volume distribution. The current study deals with the effect of increased IAP and decompressive laparotomy on aerated lung volume distribution. The serial whole-lung computed tomography scans of 16 patients with increased IAP were retrospectively ...
