This study looks at muscle function and disease severity in people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 48 hours. It aims to understand how muscle problems relate to recovery and risk, without requiring a breathing machine.
Istanbul, EsenyurtAges 18 years+ - NCT07125079Recruiting
Studying immune cells and a new treatment for ARDS
This study looks at how the immune system responds in people with ARDS (a severe lung injury) and tests a new treatment called PIP-2 in the lab to see if it might help. It aims to better understand lung injury and find new ways to treat it.

This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan from a dietitian for 6 months can help people who have been seriously ill in the ICU recover better. It focuses on patients who had organ failure and who live in Norway.
TromsøAges 18 years+ - NCT07173504Recruiting
Continuous vs. intermittent tube feeding in ICU patients
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07173855RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium replacement in ICU patients
This trial tests whether giving magnesium as part of a standard hospital protocol can lower the risk of irregular heartbeat and improve survival in patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
Ajax, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT07222007Recruiting
Induction agent choice and survival in ICU patients
This study looks at how the type of medicine used to start sedation in the surgical ICU affects early survival and recovery. It may help doctors choose safer options for critically ill patients.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07256340Recruiting
Measuring energy use in ICU patients with special water test
This trial measures how much energy critically ill patients burn while in the ICU. If you are in the ICU at Jessa Hospital and expected to stay at least 5 days, you may help doctors understand patients' calorie needs better.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07275658Recruiting
Timing and dose of fluid removal in ICU patients
This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
AmsterdamAges 18 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 - NCT07312708Recruiting
Protein dosing in ICU patients: weight vs. muscle mass
This trial compares two methods for calculating protein doses in critically ill patients: using actual body weight versus fat-free mass. It aims to find which approach is better for recovery in the ICU.
EdeAges 18 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+ - NCT07343440Recruiting
Nutrition support guided by metabolism for ICU patients
This trial tests whether providing nutrition that is precisely matched to your body's energy needs can improve recovery for patients on breathing machines. It uses a special test to measure your metabolism and adjust the feeding accordingly.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07345169Recruiting
Immune and inflammation study in ICU patients
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07372742Recruiting
Study of long-term ICU patients in China
This study looks at patients who have been in the ICU for at least 8 days and have certain serious conditions. The goal is to understand their health patterns over time. You may be able to join if you have been in the ICU for 8+ days and meet one of the listed conditions.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT03044223Recruiting
Profiles of immune cells in severe Pseudomonas sepsis
This study looks at patterns of immune cells in people who are critically ill with sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds and improve care for this serious infection.
UlmAges 18–90 - NCT07510776Recruiting
Understanding long-term critical illness
This study looks closely at patients who stay in the ICU for 5 days or more to understand why some people recover more slowly. It may help doctors find better ways to support you during and after a long ICU stay.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07585500Recruiting
