Recruiting studies
- NCT06742060Recruiting
Copeptin levels after brain surgery in children
This study follows children after brain surgery to see how a substance called copeptin (a marker in the blood) changes and whether it can help doctors spot a condition that causes too much thirst and urination (diabetes insipidus) early. It may lead to better care for children in the ICU.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT07820319Recruiting
A new heart ultrasound test for intensive care patients
This study tests a new way to measure heart pressure using an ultrasound, which may help doctors decide how to treat patients in intensive care. If successful, it could be used more widely in the future.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07802379Recruiting
Tube feeding tolerance with different blood pressure medications in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06568536Recruiting
EEG Study to Predict Recovery After Brain Injury
This study uses a special EEG test to measure brain activity in people who are not fully conscious after a recent brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to know if someone will wake up and recover thinking abilities.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03329313RecruitingPhase 2
Adjusting dialysis salt levels for ICU kidney injury
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT07469072RecruitingPhase 2
Nafamostat doses for dialysis blood thinning in ICU
This trial is testing different doses of a blood thinner called nafamostat in patients who are in the ICU and need continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT). The goal is to find which dose works best to prevent clots in the dialysis machine without causing bleeding problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05225402Recruiting
Testing blood-flow measurements in ICU shock patients
This trial studies how blood flow and organ “perfusion” look in ICU patients who are struggling with infection and low blood pressure. It may help doctors better measure and manage shock by comparing hemodynamic readings during standard treatment.
Hvidovre, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07180407Recruiting
Post-ICU pain study for adults
This study looks at pain after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand pain in patients who were urgently admitted to the ICU and stayed for at least two days.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05950958Recruiting
Preventing ICU confusion with several supportive care steps
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT07514650Recruiting
Citrate Blood Thinner Safety in Critical Kidney Care
This study tests whether a specific blood-thinning method using citrate works safely and effectively in critically ill patients whose kidneys have suddenly stopped working and need a special filtering machine. Researchers want to confirm that this approach prevents dangerous blood clots while keeping patients safe.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06322719Recruiting
Comparing two blades for intubation in the ICU
This trial tests which blade (hyperangulated or Macintosh) works better when doctors use a video laryngoscope to place a breathing tube in intensive care patients. It may help improve how intubation is done in the ICU.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–90 - NCT07415616Enrolling by invitation
Cold vs warm tube feeding and stomach emptying in ICU
This study compares giving liquid food at room temperature (cold) versus body temperature (warm) through a feeding tube to see which helps the stomach empty better in ICU patients. It may help find a way to improve comfort and nutrition for people who need tube feeding.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT07243041Recruiting
Code status talks with Muslim ICU families
This study looks at how doctors talk to families about resuscitation wishes in a Muslim ICU setting. It may help improve communication between doctors and families during difficult times.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06341062Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney injury in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07491354Recruiting
Predicting chronic pain after ICU trauma
This study looks at how biological, psychological, and social factors might help predict long-term pain after a traumatic injury that required ICU care. If you are an adult with a serious injury and at least one broken bone, you may be eligible.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06192615RecruitingPhase 3
Can a sleep medication protect the brain after heart surgery?
This study tests whether a medicine called dexmedetomidine, given after heart surgery, can help prevent confusion and thinking problems in older adults during their intensive care stay. If you are 60 or older and having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, this trial might be for you.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06680895Recruiting
FeNO study in ICU patients with breathing support
This study measures a lung inflammation marker called FeNO in ICU patients on a breathing machine. It may help doctors understand lung health and guide treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06785571RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain relief study for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a painkiller called nalbuphine for ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see if it controls pain as well as or better than usual care, with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07052461Recruiting
Blood flow study in ICU patients after heart surgery
This study looks at blood flow patterns in patients after non-emergency heart surgery to see if they relate to recovery in the ICU. It uses a special ultrasound to check blood vessels in the belly and leg.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07469397Recruiting
Study of bleeding after sheath removal in heart ICU
This study looks at what affects bleeding after removing a tube from an artery in the groin (femoral sheath) and how long people need to lie flat. It is for patients in a cardiac ICU who are having the sheath removed.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07183592Recruiting
Changing IV tubing in the ICU: does less often harm?
This trial compares changing the tubing attached to central lines every 4 days versus every 7 days, to see if less frequent changes cause more infections. If you have a central line in the ICU that will stay in for at least a week, this study may help decide the safest schedule.
Saint-Pierre, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT04737200Recruiting
Overnight feeding to improve sleep in ICU heart surgery patients
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07141420Enrolling by invitation
