Summary
This study aimed to measure pressure inside the chest (pleural pressure) in people with morbid obesity using a low-dose CT scan and a thin balloon placed in the esophagus. Researchers planned to compare 6 people with a BMI over 40 to 6 people with a BMI under 30. The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
