NCT ID NCT05704881

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a non-invasive breath measurement (EtCO2) can help doctors quickly tell how serious a COPD attack is. Researchers will monitor 240 adults in the emergency room to see if EtCO2 levels can predict the need for breathing support. If successful, this could reduce painful blood draws and speed up treatment.
