Figure 7From: Ischemia as a possible effect of increased intra-abdominal pressure on central nervous system cytokines, lactate and perfusion pressuresDiagrammatic presentation of alterations of bicarbonate (HCO 3 -), base deficit and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO 2 ). These changes occurred during the four experimental phases (1: baseline, 2: IAP 20 mmHg, 3: IAP 45 mmHg and 4: abdominal desufflation).Back to article page
