Abstract
⺠We model intra-abdominal hypertension by helium pneumoperitoneum in rats. ⺠Intra-abdominal pressure reduces respiratory system compliance. ⺠PEEP counterbalances increased intra-abdominal pressure during mechanical ventilation. ⺠The analysis of intratidal compliance could be helpful for guiding the PEEP.
