First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looks at how the amount of air left in the lungs after breathing out affects diaphragm strength in people on ventilators. Researchers will first test healthy volunteers to understand the relationship, then check if the same holds true for ICU patients. The goal is to create a more accurate way to measure diaphragm strength, which could help doctors decide when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
