Researchers seek better way to measure breathing muscle strength in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07206459
Summary
This study aims to understand how the amount of air left in the lungs affects measurements of diaphragm strength in patients on ventilators. Researchers will test both healthy volunteers and ICU patients to develop a correction method for these measurements. The goal is to create more accurate tools to help doctors decide when patients can safely come off ventilator support.
