Transpulmonary Pressures in Mechanical Ventilated Patients With Morbid Obesity

The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston15 enrolled

Overview

The study consists in determine the transpulmonary pressure in morbidly obesity patients that require mechanical ventilation. * both gender * only adults * Medical intensive care patients.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Transpulmonary pressure

We will record the changes in transpulmonary pressure after adjusting PEEP (measure in cmH2O).

Time frame: one year

Secondary Outcomes

hemodynamics

we will review hemodynamic changes while adjusting PEEP (BP, HR).

Time frame: one year
