However, this method can result in complications and is not suitable for very low birth weight neonates. The aim of this study was to establish a non-invasive and accurate method to detect IAP changes using an animal model. (2) Methods: IAP changes via intra-abdominal air application (up to 20 mmHg) were measured in 19 Wistar rats via an intra-abdominally placed intracranial pressure probe. Concurrently, abdominal surface tension was measured using a Graseby capsule (GC). (3) Results: A high correlation between abdominal wall distension and IAP (r = 0.9264, CI 0.9249\u20130.9279) was found for all subjects. (4) Conclusions: IAP changes in rats can be detected non-invasively using a GC. However, further studies are necessary to assess whether IAP changes can be measured using a GC in the neonatal population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10081422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,21]],"date-time":"2023-08-21T08:53:31Z","timestamp":1692608011000},"page":"1422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Abdominal Wall Movements Predict Intra-Abdominal Pressure Changes in Rats: A Novel Non-Invasive Intra-Abdominal Pressure Detection Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Deirdre","family":"Vincent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Mietzsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Braun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fritz Stephan GmbH, 56412 Gackenbach, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Trochimiuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7142-8758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konrad","family":"Reinshagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Boettcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Mannheim, Heidelberg University, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"423","DOI":"10.1590\/S1679-45082016RW3088","article-title":"Intra-abdominal pressure: An integrative review","volume":"14","author":"Milanesi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Einstein"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"951","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-007-0592-4","article-title":"Results from the International Conference of Experts on Intra-abdominal Hypertension and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.
