- NCT06722118RecruitingPhase 3
Steroids before breathing tube removal in children in the ICU

Predicting airway problems in children with tracheostomies
This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms you or your doctor notice can predict airway problems found during a routine scope. Participation involves no extra procedures—just answering questions and giving permission to use information from that routine scope.
SolnaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06310109Recruiting
PICU Diaries to Support Children and Families

RomeAges Up to 19 years - NCT06481644Recruiting
Study of kids in Asian pediatric ICUs
This study looks at children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) in Asia to understand their health patterns and outcomes. It may help improve care for future patients.
SingaporeAges Any age - NCT06591533Recruiting
Music therapy for children during breathing tube removal
This study uses music therapy to help children stay calm and have stable vital signs while their breathing tube is removed. It may help reduce stress during this important step.

Feeding and quality of life in children with a tracheostomy
This study looks at how feeding problems and quality of life affect children who have a tracheostomy (a tube in the windpipe). It aims to understand what difficulties children and families face, so care can be improved.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges Up to 18 years - NCT07070258Recruiting
Pediatric ICU Transport Registry
This study records information on critically ill children who are moved between hospitals by a special critical care team. It looks at how these transports happen to improve care for future kids.
DresdenAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT07210476Recruiting
Sleep screening tool for children with chronic conditions
This study tests a Turkish version of a sleep screening tool for children (ages 1 month to 18 years) with complex chronic conditions who were in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to help doctors assess sleep problems more easily.
IstanbulAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07384585Recruiting
Light therapy study for children in the ICU
This study tests whether light therapy can help children in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover. A parent or guardian must be at the bedside and speak English.
Columbus, OhioAges 4–17 - NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 years - NCT06854562Recruiting
Therapeutic robots to reduce stress for kids in the ICU
This study tests whether friendly robots can help children aged 8 to 18 feel less stressed while they are in the intensive care unit (ICU). If your child is awake, able to respond, and speaks Mandarin or Taiwanese, they may be able to participate.
Taipei, Beitou DistrictAges 8–18 - NCT05867472RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation plan for critically ill children on breathing machines
This Phase 3 trial tests a sedation approach using inhaled (“volatile”) anesthesia gases for children who need a ventilator. It aims to improve comfort and brain-related outcomes while they stay on the breathing machine for at least a day.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07441668Recruiting
Comfort care for children in the ICU
