Recruiting studies
- NCT06768515Recruiting

ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07077174Recruiting
Permissive lung-protective ventilation for critically ill patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07052123Recruiting
Blood pressure monitoring in ICU with DARE device
This trial tests a new non-invasive device (DARE) to measure blood pressure and core body temperature in patients who are already receiving standard monitoring with an arterial line and a urinary catheter in the ICU.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06420999Recruiting
Diaphragm weakness after breathing support in the ICU
This study looks at how common diaphragm weakness is in people who have been on breathing support in the ICU. If you are coming off that support, researchers want to learn if your diaphragm strength affects your recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07035106Recruiting
Using wearables to track recovery after ICU
This study tests if a wearable device and health summaries can help people recover after a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is for people who have diabetes or heart problems and left the ICU within the last 2 years.
ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT07035951Recruiting
Family involvement for very old ICU patients
This study looks at how family members can be involved in making treatment decisions for older patients (75+) in the ICU. It aims to improve care for very old patients who are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days.
LondonAges 75 years+ - NCT07026773Recruiting
How ICU doctors judge CPR appropriateness
This study looks at how well ICU doctors and nurses judge whether CPR (a procedure to restart the heart) is appropriate for patients. It's for healthcare workers already involved in the STEPCARE study.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07022314Recruiting
Monitoring urine output in cardiac ICU patients
This trial tests a new device that tracks urine output after heart surgery to see how the body responds to fluids and diuretics. It may help doctors manage your recovery more closely.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT07017517Recruiting
Exercise therapy for weakness after sepsis in the ICU
This trial tests whether adding physical therapy early in the ICU can help people with sepsis regain strength and reduce muscle weakness. It focuses on patients who need a breathing tube for at least a week and have a high level of organ failure.
Santiago, Metropolitan RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07005505Recruiting
Comparing two breathing trial methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07007156Recruiting
Does a positive NECPAL score mean higher risk in the ICU?
This study looks at whether a specific tool, called NECPAL, can help predict if older adults in the ICU are more likely to have a higher risk of dying. NECPAL is a way to identify people who might benefit from extra support or palliative care.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 75 years+ - NCT06588101Recruiting
Improving ICU family member trial participation
This trial tests different ways to help families of ICU patients join and stay in research studies. If you have a loved one in the ICU for more than 48 hours, you may be able to help find better ways to support families like yours.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06983496Recruiting
Telehealth help for ICU recovery after critical illness
This trial tests if a pharmacist and intensive care doctor team can help veterans recover at home after a serious ICU stay, using telehealth visits to manage medications and health issues.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–89 - NCT06667869Recruiting
New monitoring system for sedation in the ICU
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
Santiago, Metropolitana de SantiagoAges 18 years+ - NCT06969443Recruiting
Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06960642Recruiting
Dosage of Early Rehab for ICU Patients
This trial tests different amounts of early physical therapy for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to find out how much rehabilitation is best for recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06895590Recruiting
Testing a new water-based blood pressure cuff
This trial tests a new, very accurate blood pressure cuff that uses water to get a better reading. It is for adults who already need a standard blood pressure cuff and an arterial line as part of their hospital care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06895603Recruiting
New cuff to measure blood flow during heart procedures
This trial tests a new upper-arm cuff that may measure your heart's blood flow without needing an extra tube in your heart. If you already need a special heart catheter and a wrist arterial line, this study will see if the cuff works just as well.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06889974Recruiting
Timing of kidney treatment in tumor lysis syndrome
