Aortic occlusion resulted in increased CVP, which was augmented by volume loading (*p < 0.05).

3. Fig. 2
The increase in CSFP in response to thoracic aortic occlusion was greatest in volume loaded animals (*p < 0.05).

4. Fig. 3
With aortic occlusion, the increase in CSFP (ΔP0) was equal to or greater than the increase in CVP (ΔCVP) (*p < 0.05).

Compliance was not changed by aortic occlusion alone. Volume loading in group II was associated with an increase in compliance (*p < 0.05).

Starling resistor model applied to spinal cord blood flow (see text). If CSFP exceeds local venous pressure, veins can collapse (arrows) thereby increasing outflow resistance.
