Abstract
In 1863, Marey demonstrated the relationship between respiration and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Subsequently, some physicians introduced various methods to measure IAP via the uterus, rectum, and urinary bladder (1). However, it was 40 years later that Emerson identified the potential for IAP to cause cardiovascular collapse and observed that the removal of ascitic fluid could relieve pressure in the splanchnic area. So he could be called as a pioneer in experimental and clinical research on IAP.
