Recruiting studies
- NCT05261607Recruiting
Study outcomes for people in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how mortality (whether patients survive) changes over time for people treated in an intensive care unit. It may help hospitals understand what happens to ICU patients and improve care planning.
Getafe, MadridAges Any age - NCT05288140Recruiting
Using daily diaries for people in the intensive care unit
This study checks whether keeping a daily diary for people in the intensive care unit can help after an ICU stay. You may be eligible if you are in the ICU, are sedated and on a breathing machine for at least 24 hours, and can agree to follow-up visits.
BarcelonaAges 18–100 - NCT05551325Recruiting
Resetting sleep timing for ICU patients to support recovery
This study tests a “sleep chronobundle,” a set of sleep and light-timing steps, to improve daily sleep-wake timing in people in the ICU on breathing or blood-pressure support. It also checks whether the body’s sleep rhythms are more aligned during critical illness and over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05849597RecruitingPhase 3
Dexmedetomidine to prevent delirium after open-heart surgery
This trial tests whether a sedating medicine called dexmedetomidine can reduce the risk of “delirium” (sudden confusion) in the intensive care unit after open-heart surgery. If you’re having certain heart operations, it may help protect your thinking and alertness during recovery.
KamenitzAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06081205Recruiting
Heart disease patients in intensive care study
This trial observes patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with acute heart or blood vessel problems. It aims to learn more about their conditions and treatments.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - NCT06296381Recruiting
Measuring normal muscle strength in ICU patients and healthy people
This study measures normal muscle strength in healthy people and ICU patients to create a reference guide. If you are healthy or in the ICU and can follow instructions, you may be able to help.
Recife, BrazilAges 18–90 - NCT06174662Recruiting
Music for comfort during ICU movement
This study tests whether listening to music during movement exercises (like sitting up or walking) helps reduce discomfort in ICU patients. If you are calm enough and speak Dutch, this might be an option for you.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06175091Recruiting
Testing alarm management to reduce ICU noise and improve safety
This study tests whether changing how alarms are managed in the ICU can make the environment quieter and safer for patients. If you are an adult patient in this ICU, you may be able to join to help improve care.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT06310109Recruiting
PICU Diaries to Support Children and Families
This study tests whether a special diary, kept by families during the PICU stay, helps children and their parents cope better after leaving the hospital. It is for children who needed a breathing machine for more than 48 hours.
RomeAges Up to 19 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+ - NCT06330610Recruiting
Intermittent tube feeding for organ failure in the ICU
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Rouen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06369064Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods for kidney injury in the ICU
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT06466811Recruiting
Predicting blockages in external ventricular drains
This study looks at whether brain scans can help predict when a ventricular drain (a small tube placed in the brain to drain fluid) might get blocked. If researchers can predict blockages, they might be able to prevent complications.
Nantes, Loire-AtlantiqueAges 18 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 - NCT07691710Enrolling by invitation
Blood gases and pressure injury risk in ICU patients
This study looks at how blood oxygen levels and other measures relate to the risk of pressure injuries (bedsores) in people staying in the intensive care unit for at least 3 days. It may help find ways to prevent these injuries.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06490835Recruiting
Palliative care support for ICU families
This study tests a new way to bring high-quality palliative care (comfort and support for serious illness) to families of patients in the intensive care unit. If you are a family member of a patient with a severe brain injury or advanced organ failure, this study offers extra support and guidance during a difficult time.
Seoul, N/A (Not Applicable)Ages 19 years+ - NCT06510387Recruiting
Ultrasound to Confirm Breathing Tube Placement in ICU
This study tests whether using a handheld ultrasound device (a small machine that uses sound waves to see inside the body) placed on the neck or chest is better at confirming that a breathing tube is correctly positioned in the windpipe than the usual methods. It is for adults in the intensive care unit who need a breathing tube to keep their airway safe.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06513130Recruiting
Checkup after ICU for adults 75 and older
This study looks at how well older adults (75+) do after leaving the intensive care unit. It will test a simple checkup done at discharge to see if it helps doctors plan better care.
StrasbourgAges 75 years+ - NCT06544148Recruiting
Measuring lung artery pressure with a chest belt in ICU patients

BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06577870Recruiting
Soothing nature videos for hospital ICU patients
This study tests whether watching calming, immersive nature scenes (called sensory projections) can help patients feel more relaxed while in the hospital's intensive care unit. If you qualify, you'll be able to use these projections during your stay.
MassyAges 18 years+ - NCT06279793RecruitingPhase 2
Fish oil for recovery after high-risk heart surgery
