Transpulmonary pressure - morbid obesity
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Transpulmonary pressure | one year | We will record the changes in transpulmonary pressure after adjusting PEEP (measure in cmH2O). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hemodynamics | one year | we will review hemodynamic changes while adjusting PEEP (BP, HR). |
