First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at how blood flow in the lungs changes depending on whether you hold your breath after breathing in or out. One hundred healthy adults will receive a small, fast injection of salt water while wearing a special belt that measures electrical signals. The goal is to better understand how lung volume affects blood flow, which could help doctors improve breathing treatments in the future.
