The influence of upright posture on craniospinal, arteriovenous, and abdominal pressures in a chronic ovine in-vivo trial

ConclusionsPressures changed posture-dependently to differing extents. Changes were most pronounced immediately after entering upright posture (P1) and became less prominent over the chair duration (P2-to-P3), suggesting increased physiologic compensation. Dynamic changes in IAP varied across abdominal locations, motivating the abdominal cavity not to be considered as a unified entity, but sub-compartments with individual dynamics.
