Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension the mechanism and usefulness of abdominal compression to increase standing blood pressure. In three protocols, 23 patients underwent abdominal compression. Protocol 1 evaluated in a 40-60 degrees head-up-tilt position, the effect of abdominal compression on caval vein and femoral diameter, arterial blood pressure and hemodynamics. Protocol 2 documented the relationship between the level of compression and the arterial pressure response. Protocol 3 investigated the ability to maintain standing blood pressure by an elastic binder. During head-up-tilt, compression (40 mm Hg) resulted in a reduction in diameter of the caval vein (mean -2.6mm, range -1.4 to 0.6), without a change in femoral vein diameter. Stroke volume increased by 14 % (range -1 to 23) and blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) by 30/14 mmHg (range 7/2 to 69/36), both p < 0.05; 40 mmHg compression was associated with a higher pressure response than 20 mmHg (mean 18/8 mmHg, range 6/2 to 43/20 vs. mean 9/4 mmHg, range -1/0 to 18/8, p < 0.05). Elastic abdominal binding increased standing blood pressure with 15/6 mmHg (range -3/3 to 36/14, p < 0.05). We conclude that in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, abdominal compression increases standing blood pressure to a varying degree by increasing stroke volume.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
