Doctors probe hidden link between swollen bellies and lung risk in ICU

NCT ID NCT04530760

Summary

This study aims to understand if high pressure inside the belly is linked to more fluid from the stomach getting into the lungs of critically ill patients with liver cirrhosis who are on breathing machines. Researchers will monitor belly pressure and test fluid from patients' breathing tubes over two days. The goal is to gather knowledge that could help improve care for these vulnerable patients in the future.
