Evaluation of the effects of intraabdominal hypertension on equine central venous pressure.
To evaluate the effect of changes in intraabdominal pressure (IAP) on central venous pressure (CVP) in normal horses. ⋯ This report provides preliminary data demonstrating a biphasic trend in equine CVP caused by changes in IAP, similar to that observed in other species. Further investigations are needed to evaluate this trend and to confirm these results in clinical patients.

Evaluation of the effects of medial saphenous venous pressures as an indirect method of measurement of intra-abdominal pressures in the horse.
To evaluate the effect of changes in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on medial saphenous venous pressure (MSVP) and hemodynamics in normal horses. ⋯ This report provides preliminary data demonstrating a strong correlation between equine MSVP and changes in IAP, similar to that observed in other species. Further investigations are needed to evaluate this relationship, and to confirm these results in clinical patients.

Prevalence of intra-abdominal hypertension in horses with colic.
To determine an abdominal pressure cutoff value for intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in the horse and characterize IAH in horses with acute colic. ⋯ Acute colic in horses is associated with an increased ventral IAP compared with healthy controls. IAH does exist in horses with colic, notably LI medical lesions, and is associated with nonsurvival in horses that require surgery.
