Bacteria in stool during long ICU stays
This study looks at how certain bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae) change over time in the stool of ICU patients staying at least 28 days. It aims to understand why these infections occur and how they evolve, which could help improve future care.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06766461RecruitingPhase 4
Optimizing antibiotic dosing in ICU patients with septic shock
This trial checks if giving higher doses of beta-lactam antibiotics (a type of strong antibiotic) right from the start helps people in the ICU with septic shock. It aims to find the best dose to fight the infection quickly.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07490028Recruiting
Mucus stiffness in ventilated ICU patients
This study looks at how sticky or stretchy the mucus is in the lungs of patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to learn more about mucus properties, which could help improve breathing treatments in the future.
Aix-en-Provence, RechercheAges 18 years+ - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
