Comparing two CO2 detectors during breathing tube placement in critically ill adults

Early mobility program for critically ill children in the PICU
This trial tests whether a structured “early mobility” activity plan (“PICU Up!”) helps children who are on a breathing machine recover or feel better while in the pediatric ICU. It aims to see if starting safe movement earlier makes a difference for critically ill kids.

You stay in control
