Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 1 day–120 years - NCT07483710Recruiting
CT scan muscle test in ICU for septic shock
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the lower back muscle, taken when you first arrive in the intensive care unit for septic shock, can help predict recovery three months later. It may help doctors better understand how muscle health affects survival.
LyonAges 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.
