NCT ID NCT07209956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 46 infants under 2 years old in the pediatric ICU with severe bronchiolitis. Researchers used a heart ultrasound measure called TAPSE to see if it could predict how long babies needed intensive care. The goal was to find a simple test that helps doctors plan care and identify those at higher risk.
