Summary

This study looked at whether a 15-second pause in a breathing machine (end-expiratory occlusion) can help doctors decide if infants in shock need 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 and after giving fluids to see if the test could predict a positive response.
