  Purpose

The investigators aim to compare the bladder pressure to the gastric pressure in critically ill patients.


Condition Intervention
Critically Ill Patients
 Procedure: measurement of abdominal pressure

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Official Title: The Estimation of Abdominal Pressure by the Bladder and Gastric Pressure

Further study details as provided by Policlinico Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To estimate the bladder pressure [ Time Frame: 5 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 13
Study Start Date: July 2005
Study Completion Date: November 2007
Primary Completion Date: November 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Critically hill, mechanically ventilated patients
 Procedure: measurement of abdominal pressure
measurement of abdominal pressure with different volume and saline temperature

Detailed Description:

In critically ill patients, we will measure the gastric pressure by a gastric balloon and the bladder pressure by the intra-vesical pressure to find the optimal method to estimate the abdominal pressure.
