FIGURE 1.
Case of intra-abdominal hypertension after major vascular surgery: intra-abdominal pressure increased with the patients in receiving 35 ml/h of enteral nutrition (EN). When intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) reached 23 mmHg, EN was stopped for 2 hrs, and reintroduced at 10 ml/h with parallel introduction of parenteral nutrition. IAP stabilized at 17 mmHg under simultaneous negativing of fluid balance.
