Summary

This study tested whether a small ultrasound probe placed in the throat could help predict how long people with severe lung failure (ARDS) need a breathing machine. Researchers measured a heart-related sign that might show fluid overload or heart strain. 50 adults in intensive care took part. The goal was to see if this measurement could forecast days off the ventilator and survival.
