15-Second breath test may guide fluid therapy in sick infants
NCT ID NCT04932590
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a simple bedside test—a 15-second pause in breathing—to see if it could predict whether infants in shock would benefit from more fluids. Ten infants under 2 years old on ventilators in intensive care were included. Researchers measured heart function before, during, and after the pause to see if it could guide treatment decisions.
