 on the location and some functions of abdominal and thoracic organs in adult Wistar rats, as well as to determine a set of specific characteristics of the radiographic image of the condition studied that would facilitate its definition. Notable changes in gastro-intestinal motility of IAP-rats were observed radiographically during experiments: alterations in the location of the organs in the thoracic and abdominal region; lack of gut peristaltic activity due to intestinal paresis and impaired passage of contrast medium along the entire gastro-intestinal tract; reliable increase of frequency of respiratory movements and retardation of the frequency of heart rate of rats. It can be concluded that elevated IAP causes significant dysfunction of abdominal and thoracic organs. These functional changes are radiographically observable and can be used as an indication of elevated IAP.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/906.jpg)

The aim of the study was to establish the influence of the increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP ≥ 20 mmHg) on the location and some functions of abdominal and thoracic organs in adult Wistar rats, as well as to determine a set of specific characteristics of the radiographic image of the condition studied that would facilitate its definition. Notable changes in gastro-intestinal motility of IAP-rats were observed radiographically during experiments: alterations in the location of the organs in the thoracic and abdominal region; lack of gut peristaltic activity due to intestinal paresis and impaired passage of contrast medium along the entire gastro-intestinal tract; reliable increase of frequency of respiratory movements and retardation of the frequency of heart rate of rats. It can be concluded that elevated IAP causes significant dysfunction of abdominal and thoracic organs. These functional changes are radiographically observable and can be used as an indication of elevated IAP.
