Summary
This study looks at whether a simple measurement called GapCO2 can help emergency doctors quickly tell if a patient's shortness of breath is caused by fluid buildup (congestive) or other reasons. About 45 adults with sudden breathing trouble will have their blood gases measured and a small sensor placed on their skin. The goal is to see if the difference between these two readings points to the right cause, which could speed up treatment.
