MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07009665Recruiting
Fluid management in sepsis patients at the emergency department
This study tests a personalized approach to giving fluids to patients with sepsis, a serious infection that can cause low blood pressure. The goal is to see if individualized fluid resuscitation improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT04571749Enrolling by invitation
Improving shift handovers between surgery and intensive care
This study looks at how to improve the “handoff” process when surgical patients move from the operating room to the ICU. The goal is to make these transitions more reliable and work well at different hospital scales.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06481644Recruiting
Study of kids in Asian pediatric ICUs
This study looks at children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) in Asia to understand their health patterns and outcomes. It may help improve care for future patients.
SingaporeAges Any age - NCT07369258Recruiting
Music to prevent confusion in the ICU for older adults
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 65 years+ - NCT05886803Recruiting
Predicting breathing test success in the ICU
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
NiceAges Any age - NCT06588556Recruiting
Improving Care for Older Adults in the ICU
This study tests a program to improve communication and support for older adults in the ICU and their families. It may help families feel more supported during a serious illness.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06695078Recruiting
Nutrition study for children in the PICU
This trial looks at how nutrition is given to children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), especially for those who stay longer than 3 days. The goal is to find better ways to support their recovery.
AdelaideAges birth–18 years - NCT07176247Enrolling by invitation
Study of aztreonam-avibactam for drug-resistant infections
This trial studies a combination antibiotic called aztreonam-avibactam for treating infections caused by hard-to-treat bacteria, especially those that produce certain enzymes (MBLs). It aims to see how well this medicine works in hospital patients.
ParisAges Any age - NCT07682766Recruiting
Biomarkers of inflammation and infection in critical care
This study looks at markers of inflammation, infection, and immunity in patients who are in the critical care area. It aims to find early signs of how severe the illness might become, how well treatments work, and if infections will develop.
TorinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06769360Recruiting
Pressure support breathing trial for ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to set the breathing machine's pressure support based on your muscle effort. It may help you breathe more comfortably and improve recovery.
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 - NCT06970990Recruiting
Testing nose pressure to measure breathing effort with oxygen therapy
This trial uses a small tube in your nose to measure how hard you are working to breathe while receiving different types of oxygen therapy. It aims to find out if this nose pressure test can replace a more invasive test, making monitoring easier for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06370338Recruiting
Expert views on cardiothoracic critical care training
This study interviews experts in cardiothoracic critical care to understand what training is needed. It helps improve how doctors learn to care for patients after heart or chest surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT06799910Recruiting
Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06900101Recruiting
Monitoring study in brain injury intensive care
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.

Pain tracking using facial movements for non-verbal patients
This trial tests a system that measures facial movements to assess pain in patients who cannot speak or communicate verbally, such as those with a breathing tube. It may help healthcare providers better understand and manage pain in these patients.
AdanaAges 18 years+ - NCT03216785Recruiting
Study of long-term health after ICU stays

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for critical care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 188 recruiting critical care studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a critical care trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a critical care trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
