Nantes, Pays de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT06117345Enrolling by invitation
PICU Journal for Parents and Caregivers
This study tests a journal to help parents and caregivers stay involved while their child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to see if the journal improves communication and engagement.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT02539407Recruiting
Study drug levels in critically ill children
This trial measures how anti-infective medicines move through a child’s body while they are in the hospital or during follow-up. The goal is to better understand dosing and drug exposure in critically ill children.
ParisAges 1 day–18 years - NCT05950958Recruiting
Preventing ICU confusion with several supportive care steps
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT05936710Recruiting
Citrate vs acetate dialysis to prevent low blood pressure
This study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
BéthuneAges 18 years+ - NCT05804773Recruiting
Studying brain blood flow changes when blood pressure changes
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when blood pressure rises or falls in people in the ICU. It may help doctors understand safer ways to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05686850Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support vs high-flow oxygen after ICU extubation
This study compares two breathing supports used after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: a noninvasive ventilator (mask-based) versus high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which one works better when patients develop breathing trouble soon after extubation.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05409573Recruiting
Check oxygen monitoring during pre-intubation in the ICU
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT05357170Recruiting
Testing gut bacteria changes after severe ICU illnesses
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–110 - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04848090Enrolling by invitation
Genetic testing for newborns in the hospital intensive care unit
This study uses whole-genome sequencing (a DNA test that looks across the genome) for newborns in the intensive care unit when doctors suspect a genetic condition. It aims to help identify possible genetic causes of illness and improve understanding for families and clinicians.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 1 year - NCT05671614Recruiting
Prevent muscle stem cell failure after critical illness
This trial studies ways to improve recovery of skeletal muscle in people who have been very sick in the ICU. It focuses on preventing problems with the body’s muscle “repair cells” after critical illness.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07501494Recruiting
Intensive care study: quality of care and outcomes
This trial examines how well intensive care units perform by looking at patient data, hospital records, and costs. It may help improve care for future patients.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06162247Recruiting
Registry study for heart patients in intensive care
This study tracks patients with sudden heart problems admitted to a special heart intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these conditions to improve future care.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT07150637Enrolling by invitation
Predicting muscle weakness in children on a breathing machine
This study aims to predict muscle weakness that can happen to children on breathing machines in the ICU. It could help doctors start treatments earlier to prevent this weakness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07094425Recruiting
Heart function study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07070258Recruiting
Pediatric ICU Transport Registry
This study records information on critically ill children who are moved between hospitals by a special critical care team. It looks at how these transports happen to improve care for future kids.
