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

  • We suggest that esophageal capnometry could be used as an alternative to gastric tonometry for assessing splanchnic hypoperfusion.

  • The results presented here, which demonstrate a lack of impact on splanchnic blood flow when PEEP is not accompanied by decreased cardiac output, corroborate those from animal studies [ 4 13 ] and from the recent human study conducted by Kiefer and coworkers [ 9 ] . The lack of change in pH i at PEEP opt (11 cmH 2 O) is in agreement with our current understanding that PEEP at 10 cmH 2 O has a limited effect on splanchnic blood flow.

  • Our results corroborate those from the only other study that evaluated the impact of PEEP on splanchnic perfusion in patients with ALI.

  • 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 ] .

  • In animals, ileum has been used to assess splanchnic perfusion [ 25, 36] - a clinically impractical procedure.
