About

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

Full 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.
