pneumoperitoneum in abdomen to 15 mmHg or 50 mmHg? - Maria


Posted: Nov 11, 2009

I'm not sure if they are saying 15 or 50 mmHg inflation, is it usually one or the other or could it be either?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!  :)

15 mmHg sm - flybye

IAP=intraabdominal pressure

IAP of 15 is average

IAP above 15 is rare...and i've never heard of higher than 25...

Thank you! - Maria
