Transpulmonary Pressures in Mechanical Ventilated Patients With Morbid Obesity

Completed
Conditions
Respiratory Insufficiency
Mechanical Ventilation Complication
Registration Number
NCT02309190
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

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

* both gender

* only adults

* Medical intensive care patients.

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.
