The study consists in determine the transpulmonary pressure in morbidly obesity patients that
require mechanical ventilation.
- both gender

- Medical intensive care patients.
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.
