Recruiting studies
- NCT06642376Recruiting
Breathing exercise for ICU nurses: stress and fatigue
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise can help reduce fatigue and stress in intensive care nurses. If you work in an ICU and are interested in trying a short, guided breathing technique, this could be a low-effort way to feel better.
KahramanmaraşAges 18 years+ - NCT07183592Recruiting
Changing IV tubing in the ICU: does less often harm?
This trial compares changing the tubing attached to central lines every 4 days versus every 7 days, to see if less frequent changes cause more infections. If you have a central line in the ICU that will stay in for at least a week, this study may help decide the safest schedule.
Saint-Pierre, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT07239206Recruiting
Serious game for ICU nurses on temperature management
This study tests whether a serious game (an educational game) can help critical care nurses learn more about targeted temperature management (cooling or warming the body to protect the brain) and improve their ability to notice and react to patient changes. You would play the game and take tests before and after to see if it works.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07318571Recruiting
AI tool to help nurses prevent bedsores in ICU patients
This trial is for ICU nurses who already perform skin checks for pressure injuries. It tests whether an AI tool can help them assess patients' skin more accurately and consistently. The study focuses on adult ICU patients without major skin problems.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06814457Recruiting

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06665529Recruiting
Predicting 28-day survival in the ICU
This trial looks at how doctors and nurses predict survival for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, compared to a standard medical score. It may help understand the accuracy of these predictions.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT07770347Enrolling by invitation
Sepsis and the immune system study

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02804438Recruiting
Pupil measurement checks in neurocritical care patients
This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06411561Recruiting
