Educational Program for ICU Patients' Recovery
This study tests whether teaching ICU patients and their families about recovery can help patients regain strength and function after leaving the hospital. Researchers will follow patients for several months after discharge to see if the education makes a difference in their recovery.
Orihuela, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07585500Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Help Recovery in ICU Patients
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses can help patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit. The VR program is designed to help regain strength, movement, and mental function during recovery.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07611721Recruiting
Testing a glucose monitor in critically ill surgery patients
This study tests whether a wearable glucose monitor (Dexcom G7) works well in patients in intensive care after major abdominal surgery or organ transplant who need insulin therapy. The monitor measures blood sugar continuously to help doctors manage insulin doses more safely.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07631221Recruiting
Protein Amount in Nutrition for Critically Ill Kidney Patients
This study tests whether different amounts of protein in tube feeding or IV nutrition affect kidney recovery in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with kidney injury. The goal is to find the best protein level to help kidneys heal while patients are critically ill.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07649876Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety in Critically Ill Patients
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset—which shows calming scenes like nature—can help reduce anxiety, agitation, and confusion in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if VR can help patients feel more comfortable during their recovery.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT07656311Enrolling by invitation
Platelet size as early warning for cancer ICU patients
This study looks at whether the size of platelets in your blood when you enter the intensive care unit (ICU) can help predict your chances of recovery. It focuses on adults with cancer who are in the ICU for more than 24 hours and aims to find early signs of risk.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06977555Enrolling by invitation
Talking with ICU patients on a breathing machine
This study looks at how nurses and doctors communicate with patients who are awake but on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to improve communication and make the experience better for patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06117345Enrolling by invitation
PICU Journal for Parents and Caregivers
This study tests a journal to help parents and caregivers stay involved while their child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to see if the journal improves communication and engagement.

Brain monitoring during breathing therapy in critically ill patients
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
Dongying, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07643597Recruiting
Managing fluid removal in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.

Using EBUS to help diagnose a blood clot in the lungs
This study looks at whether a procedure called EBUS (a camera passed through the airway) can help doctors diagnose an acute pulmonary embolism—a sudden blood clot in the lungs—in critically ill, intubated ICU patients. If you’re eligible, EBUS may be done during bronchoscopy as part of your usual care to help confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
