First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looked at 90 sepsis patients with low blood pressure to see if changes in vein and artery size during breathing can predict who needs more fluids. Doctors often give fluids to improve circulation, but too much can be harmful. The goal was to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide treatment in patients who are breathing on their own.
