AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07179276Recruiting
Testing CO₂ gap to guide septic shock treatment
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07157917Enrolling by invitation
Managing thirst after breathing tube removal
This trial tests a way to help thirsty patients after a breathing tube is removed or a tracheotomy is done. It is for patients who are awake and can speak Chinese.
TaipeiAges 18–100 - NCT07130929Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for muscle weakness after severe stroke
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation technique, called functional electrical stimulation, can help patients recover muscle strength after a severe stroke that left them weak in the arms and legs. It may offer a new way to aid rehabilitation in the early months after stroke.
Florence, FIAges 18–80 - NCT07108374Enrolling by invitation
Improving blood transfusion practices in children's ICUs
This study tests whether a new set of guidelines can help doctors and nurses give red blood cell transfusions more consistently in pediatric intensive care. It aims to make transfusion decisions safer and more uniform for children in the ICU.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07075926Recruiting
Heart ultrasound to predict breathing tube removal success in ICU
This study uses a heart ultrasound to see if it can help doctors predict when patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It may help avoid failed extubations and reduce complications.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT05696093RecruitingPhase 3
Cotrimoxazole for step-down treatment of ventilator pneumonia
This trial tests whether switching from an initial antibiotic to cotrimoxazole (a specific antibiotic combination) can work as well—or better—for ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. It aims to see if “de-escalating” antibiotics can control the infection while keeping vital signs stable.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07073976Recruiting
Predicting success of coming off the breathing machine using heart ultrasound
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check how well the right side of your heart is working. The goal is to see if that can help predict whether you will successfully come off the breathing machine.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07059689Recruiting
Comparing breathing support after heart surgery in children
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07013175Recruiting
Wise Choices in the Intensive Care Unit
This study looks at how decisions are made in the ICU. It may help improve care for adult patients in Swedish intensive care units.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06940219Recruiting
Comparing delayed vs. rapid intubation in emergencies
