About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • both gender
  • morbid obesity
  • hemodynamically stable

Exclusion criteria

  • pregnant patients
  • cirrhotic patients with esophageal varicose

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Transpulmonary pressure

    Time frame: one year

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. hemodynamics

    Time frame: one year

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