CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06749483Recruiting
Gut bacteria and infection in intensive care patients
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07496255Recruiting
Virtual reality for memory help after ICU confusion
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help older adults recover their thinking and memory after a serious illness and confusion in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, spent time on a breathing machine, and had delirium in the ICU.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 50 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+ - NCT06770751Recruiting
Family involvement in intensive care
This study looks at how having a family member actively involved in care affects patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). You may be able to join if you are over 18 and have a family member who can help with your care.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT07457554Recruiting
Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT07448805Recruiting
Accuracy and safety of a glucose monitor in the ICU
This trial tests a continuous glucose monitoring system (Syai Tag) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see how well it measures blood sugar levels safely compared to standard methods.
MariborAges 18 years+ - NCT07404813Enrolling by invitation
Do family voices affect brain chemistry and pain in ICU patients?
This study tests whether hearing a family member's voice can change natural brain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) and reduce pain for people in the intensive care unit who are in a coma but can still react. It may help improve comfort during recovery.
Malatya, MalatyaAges 18–65 - NCT06642636Recruiting
Virtual reality before ICU for lung transplant patients
This study tests if a virtual reality experience before entering the ICU can help prepare you. It is for people waiting for a lung transplant.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–71 - NCT07338240Recruiting
Testing a sickness scoring system in Turkish ICUs
This trial is studying how well a scoring system (SOFA-2) works in Turkish intensive care units (ICUs) to measure how sick patients are. It may help doctors better understand and treat people in ICUs in Türkiye.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 18 years+ - NCT07313163Recruiting
Music during nursing care for stroke patients in the ICU
This trial studies if listening to music during a bed bath can improve comfort for stroke patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to make nursing care more relaxing and less stressful.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07307027Recruiting
Feeding plan for children in intensive care
This study tests a step-by-step feeding plan (enteral nutrition) for children in the pediatric ICU to see if it improves their recovery. It might help if your child is critically ill and can receive nutrition through a tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1 month–16 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+ - NCT06891599Recruiting
Blood test for clotting in sepsis and trauma ICU patients
This study is testing a special blood test called ROTEM to see how well it can predict bleeding problems in ICU patients with sepsis or severe trauma. It may help doctors give the right treatment faster.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06901050Recruiting
A study of FAST HUGS care for ICU patients with low oxygen
This trial tests a special care bundle called 'FAST HUGS' to see if it helps people in the ICU with low oxygen levels get better sooner. It focuses on patients in the Chest Intensive Care Unit who have trouble getting enough oxygen.
