This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT03810768Recruiting
Metabolomics study of ICU-acquired weakness after surgery
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605144RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management in critically ill patients
This study tests how best to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients using medicines called vasopressors. It aims to find the safest and most effective blood pressure target for people in the ICU.

Singapore, SingaporeAges 4 weeks–16 years - NCT07170527Recruiting
Metabolic signs, recovery, and physical function after ICU stay
This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.
