How can you use “splanchnic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Although the diagnostic value of gastric tonometry has been questioned because some methodological problems, we believe that we minimized most of these limitations and improved the reproducibility of our measurements by immediate analysis of samples, use of H 2 blockers [ 18 ] and lack of enteral nutrition [ 19 ] , rendering it possible to use gastric pH i to evaluate splanchnic perfusion.
The results of the present study indicate that incremental increases in PEEP do not impact on splanchnic perfusion, as assessed by gastric tonometry, when cardiac output (and consequently DO 2 ) are maintained.
Preservation of splanchnic blood flow at PEEP opt and PEEP max was attributed to an increase in oxygen extraction ratio that was sufficient to compensate for the small, insignificant drop in cardiac output and DO 2 that occurred during PEEP titration [ 15 ] .
Second, we did not directly measure splanchnic perfusion but assessed it indirectly by monitoring pH i using gastric tonometry.
Similarly, in humans without ALI or ARDS, PEEP reduces splanchnic oxygenation and this is accompanied by decreases in cardiac output, albeit with no change in lactate levels [ 14 ] . Recently, Kiefer and colleagues [ 9 ] reported no change in splanchnic perfusion when PEEP was titrated on the linear portion of the pressure-volume curve in patients with ALI [ 9 ] .
