Fig. 2 Relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and superior vena cava pressure (SVC). Closed squares are mean values of IAP in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) group. Closed circles are mean values of SVC pressure in ruptured AAA group. Open squares are mean values of IAP in non-rupture AAA group. Open circles are mean values of SVC pressure in non-ruptured AAA group. Error bar represents standard error of the means. Number represents the cases under IAP monitoring. Asterisk beside number represent significant difference of IAP between ruptured group and non-ruptured group.
