Transpulmonary Pressures in Mechanical Ventilated Patients With Morbid Obesity

December 6, 2024 updated by: Rosa Estrada Y Martin, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

The study consists in determine the transpulmonary pressure in morbidly obesity patients that require mechanical ventilation.

  • both gender
  • only adults
  • Medical intensive care patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We are studying adult patients with morbid obesity with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation.

We are measuring transesophageal presssures to estimate ideal PEEP and evaluate hemodynamic parameters.
