Figure 8

Linear regression plots. (A) Linear regression plot showing the respiratory-integrated mean intra-abdominal pressure (MIAPri) in relation to ΔIAP (= IAPei − IAPee, where IAPei is the end-inspiratory IAP and IAPee is the end-expiratory IAP). (B) Linear regression plot showing the respiratory changes of intra-abdominal pressure (ΔIAP) in relation to ΔP alv (= Pplat - PEEP, where P alv is the alveolar pressure, P plat is the plateau alveolar pressure, and PEEP is the positive end-expiratory pressure). (C) Linear regression plot showing the relation between the thoraco-abdominal index of transmission (i.e. TAI = ΔP alv /ΔIAP) and the abdominal wall compliance (i.e. C ab = TV/ΔIAP).
