Breathing machine test could prevent unnecessary IV fluids in ICU

NCT ID NCT04023786

Summary

This study tested a simple method to predict if critically ill patients on breathing machines will benefit from receiving IV fluids. Doctors temporarily adjusted a ventilator setting to see if it mimicked the effect of giving fluids. The goal was to find a quick test to avoid giving unnecessary fluids, which can sometimes cause harm.
