First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether measuring the difference in carbon dioxide levels between two types of blood samples can help doctors treat adults with serious injuries better. About 60 people in the ICU will be split into two groups: one gets treatment guided by this extra measurement, the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces time on a breathing machine and improves recovery.
