The Estimation of Abdominal Pressure by the Bladder and Gastric Pressure

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Critically Ill Patients
• Interventions: Procedure: measurement of abdominal pressure

• Registration Number: NCT00143494
• Lead Sponsor: Policlinico Hospital

Brief Summary

The investigators aim to compare the bladder pressure to the gastric pressure in critically ill patients.

Detailed Description

In critically ill patients, we will measure the gastric pressure by a gastric balloon and the bladder pressure by the intra-vesical pressure to find the optimal method to estimate the abdominal pressure.
