Bariatric Surgery Candidate, Intra-Abdominal Hypertension, Morbid Obesity
Conditions
Brief summary
The correlations between gastric and urinary bladder pressures with Intra-abdominal pewssure have not been addressed
Detailed description
Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) affects cardio-respiratory hemodynamics and can be assessed either directly, or by measuring gastric or urinary bladder pressure. However, in patients with morbid obesity, the correlations between gastric and urinary bladder pressures with IAP have not been addressed. The investigator's aim was to assess the correlations between IAP and gastric and urinary bladder pressure in patients with morbid obesity, at normal and elevated levels of IAP, and to examine the effects of increasing IAP and patient position on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters.
Interventions
Effect of IAP on respiratory parameters Correlation between IAP and Gastric and urinary bladder pressures
