Breathing patterns may skew Fluid-Readiness test in ICU shock patients
NCT ID NCT07644494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 shock patients on ventilators to see if their breathing effort changes the accuracy of an ultrasound test that measures a large vein in the belly. Doctors used the test to predict whether giving fluids would help the heart pump more blood. They found that how hard a patient breathes can affect the test's reliability, which may help doctors make better fluid decisions in the ICU.
