StrasbourgAges 75 years+ - NCT07074028Recruiting
Tracking muscle changes in ICU patients with sepsis
This study is for people in the ICU with sepsis who need a breathing machine for a long time. It monitors muscle changes during recovery to understand how sepsis affects muscles.
Saint-BrieucAges 18 years+ - NCT07034599Recruiting
Negative pressure breathing after heart pump implant
This study looks at how a breathing machine that uses negative pressure (like a vacuum) affects the heart and blood flow in people who have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a type of heart pump. It may help doctors learn the best way to support breathing after surgery.
KarlsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06999161Recruiting
Tracking Antibiotic Levels in ICU Brain Injury Patients
This study monitors the amount of certain antibiotics in the blood of patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit. It aims to make sure the antibiotics are at the right level to fight infection, especially in patients whose kidneys are clearing drugs faster than normal.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT05551325Recruiting
Resetting sleep timing for ICU patients to support recovery
This study tests a “sleep chronobundle,” a set of sleep and light-timing steps, to improve daily sleep-wake timing in people in the ICU on breathing or blood-pressure support. It also checks whether the body’s sleep rhythms are more aligned during critical illness and over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07839949Recruiting
Monitoring breathing effort during ventilator weaning
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges Any age - NCT06728722Recruiting
Ultrasound for body measurement in critical care
This study uses ultrasound to measure body composition in women admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology critical care unit. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess health status in critically ill patients.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT05591924Recruiting
Bioinformatics study in adults with very early severe ICU illness
This trial studies how early severe illness in the ICU can be understood and tracked using health data (bioinformatics/informatics). It may help improve care decisions for people who arrive to the ICU soon after an emergency department visit.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07599306Recruiting
Telehealth Rehabilitation for Heart Patients After ICU Recovery
This study tests whether supervised remote rehabilitation exercises can help people recover better after a long ICU stay. Many patients struggle with weakness, memory problems, or mood changes after intensive care—this trial aims to improve those symptoms through video-guided therapy.
