First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether measuring certain heart-related substances in the blood early and giving that information to doctors can improve care for patients who are breathing fast. About 574 adults admitted to the hospital with a high breathing rate will be randomly assigned to either get this early testing or standard care. The goal is to see if the testing helps reduce the chance of being readmitted or dying after leaving the hospital.
