Filter by:This is a study to evaluate whether PEEP adjusted by use of an esophageal balloon to overcome negative transpulmonary pressure; or adjusted by use of "CStat" to achieve the best effective static compliance will have any effect on outcomes with respect to ventilator weaning in tracheotomized morbidly obese patients (BMI >=40) with at least one failed prior weaning attempt.
Dosing guidelines for liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) in (morbidly) obese patients are not available. Subsequently, the pharmacokinetic profile of AmBisome in this specific patient population is still largely unknown. To build a valid pharmacokinetic model, obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 undergoing endoscopic gastric bypass surgery will receive a single dose of 1 mg/kg or 2 mg/kg AmBisome (besides standard anti-bacterial prophylaxis) and a PK-curve will be drawn. These PK-values can then be compared to the pharmacokinetics of a normal-weight group.
Risk factor of cholelithiasis is rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery and change in the gallbladder function which is secondary to surgery. Many observational studies support this fact, and a high incidence of 28% -71% after gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) was reported in them. According to another publication, the incidence of gallbladder diseases is 5-36% after jejunoileal bypass surgery and 2.8-36% after gastric bypass surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find out more about the safety and effectiveness of the Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication (LGCP) procedure in patients with obesity and related problems such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, mild obstructive sleep apnea, and joint problems. LGCP is a less invasive weight loss surgery procedure than some of the other weight loss surgeries and it is possible that there are fewer risks with this procedure than with the other weight loss surgeries. LGCP is considered an experimental procedure and this study is being done to look at the long-term outcomes.
The aim of this cohort is to evaluate the follow-up of morbidly obese patients treated by several types of bariatric procedures. In addition, this study could lead to the development of clinical trials on assessment of the bariatric surgery impact.
The study consists in determine the transpulmonary pressure in morbidly obesity patients that require mechanical ventilation. - both gender - only adults - Medical intensive care patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the application of Boussignac continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) immediately after extubation improves PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio in morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery .
This study is a prospective evaluation of the relationship between lean body weight and anti-Xa activity and 5700 International Units (IU) nadroparin 4 hours after subcutaneous administration in morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the relative clinical outcomes between two variants of gastric bypass [Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) or Omega-Loop Gastric Bypass (OLGB)] in metabolic surgery candidates with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 35 and 50. The study will examine the short and medium term effects of each intervention on weight, obesity comorbidities, quality of life and gastroscopy findings.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Topiramate on the decrease of Body Mass Index compared to placebo at 9 months.
