CABA, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06830369Recruiting
Virtual reality for comfort after major surgery in the ICU
This study tests if using virtual reality can help you feel more comfortable while recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU) after major surgery. If you are having heart or major abdominal surgery and will stay in the ICU for at least 2 days, you may be able to try a VR program to see if it eases your stay.
AmiensAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06722118RecruitingPhase 3
Steroids before breathing tube removal in children in the ICU
This trial tests if giving a steroid (dexamethasone) before removing a breathing tube helps children breathe better on their own after being on a ventilator. It is for children aged 2 days to 6 years who have been on a breathing machine for at least 36 hours and are ready to have the tube removed.
BordeauxAges 2 days–6 years - NCT06700694Recruiting
Helping ICU patients move early with technology
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06694740RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Interferon gamma for immune recovery in the ICU
This trial tests if a drug called interferon gamma can help boost the immune system of patients in the ICU who are fighting serious infections. It is for adults who are on a breathing machine and have low immune function.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06667999RecruitingPhase 4
Intensive care platform trial for adult ICU patients
This major trial tests multiple treatments at once for adults admitted to the ICU. If you are an ICU patient, you may be able to join and receive one of several possible treatments aimed at improving recovery.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06653998Recruiting
Early movement and rehab in ICU patients
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and movement early is safe and possible for patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve recovery for people who are stable enough to participate.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06624540Recruiting
Reducing pneumonia in ICU patients through evidence-based nursing
This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT06628440Recruiting
Mouth check tool for ICU patients with breathing tubes
This study develops a new tool to check the health of the mouth in patients who have a breathing tube in their throat while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to help nurses better assess and care for the mouth.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06605144RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management in critically ill patients
This study tests how best to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients using medicines called vasopressors. It aims to find the safest and most effective blood pressure target for people in the ICU.
Moncton, New BrunswickAges 18 years+ - NCT06595602Recruiting
Intelligent lung support in the ICU
This trial tests a smart breathing machine that adjusts support automatically for people on a ventilator. It may help make breathing more comfortable and reduce lung injury.
DresdenAges 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.
