Effects of different resuscitation fluid on severe acute pancreatitis

Figure 1 Effect of different resuscitation fluids on changes in intra-abdominal pressure in severe acute pancreatitis. Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was indirectly measured via a bladder catheter during 7 d and performed twice daily. All of the patients had intra-abdominal hypertension on d 1 (IAP > 10 mmHg). ^aP < 0.05 vs normal saline (NS group). SH group: Combination of normal saline and hydroxyethyl starch; SHG group: Combination of normal saline, hydroxyethyl starch and glutamine; ACS: Abdominal compartment syndrome; IAH: Intra-abdominal hypertension.
