Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 years+ - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.

Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT07448805Recruiting
Accuracy and safety of a glucose monitor in the ICU
This trial tests a continuous glucose monitoring system (Syai Tag) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see how well it measures blood sugar levels safely compared to standard methods.
MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07384585Recruiting
Light therapy study for children in the ICU
This study tests whether light therapy can help children in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover. A parent or guardian must be at the bedside and speak English.
Columbus, OhioAges 4–17 - 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+ - NCT07338240Recruiting
Testing a sickness scoring system in Turkish ICUs
This trial is studying how well a scoring system (SOFA-2) works in Turkish intensive care units (ICUs) to measure how sick patients are. It may help doctors better understand and treat people in ICUs in Türkiye.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 18 years+ - NCT07307027Recruiting
Feeding plan for children in intensive care
This study tests a step-by-step feeding plan (enteral nutrition) for children in the pediatric ICU to see if it improves their recovery. It might help if your child is critically ill and can receive nutrition through a tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1 month–16 years - NCT07301970Recruiting
Remifentanil dosing in low-weight ICU patients
This study looks at how the sedative remifentanil works in critically ill patients who are underweight or normal weight. It aims to find the right dose for these patients while they are on a breathing machine in the ICU.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT06791889Recruiting
Tracking bacteria in blood of ICU sepsis patients
This study uses a highly sensitive blood test (DdPCR) to quickly find and monitor harmful bacteria in ICU patients with sepsis, aiming to improve early detection and treatment.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT07249749Recruiting
Factors linked to death in the ICU
This study looks at factors that may be linked to death in the ICU. It is for adults who are currently in the intensive care unit.
Villavicencio, Meta DepartmentAges 18–100 - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06584604Recruiting
Calibrating esophageal balloon for breathing machine patients
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07188350Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether low-level electrical pulses to the leg muscles can help prevent weakness in patients who need a breathing tube (ventilator) for more than 48 hours. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients recover faster.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07191743Recruiting
Functional Assessment in ICU Patients
This study observes how well adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) can function in daily activities, like moving and caring for themselves. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve care for future ICU patients.
