Fig 1 Evolution of the circulatory and pressure variables with the incremental increase in the IAP for the two groups of animals, normovolaemic (closed circles) and hypovolaemic (open circles). MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; Q ˙ C , cardiac output; Q ˙ IVC , inferior vena cava flow; Q ˙ fem , arterial femoral flow; SVR, systemic vascular resistance. Inferior vena cava flow and femoral flow are expressed as percentage of the cardiac output. Values are means (sd). *P<0.05 vs baseline value within groups. anova showed significance between groups for all variables except femoral flow. This significance is not shown for clarity.

Fig 2 Evolution of the LVEDA and of the difference between RAP and IAP (RAP− IAP) according to the incremental increase in the IAP for the two groups of animals; normovolaemic pigs (closed circles) and hypovolaemic pigs (open circles). Values are means (sd). *P<0.05 vs baseline values. anova showed significance between groups for LVEDA and RAP− IAP.
