CaenAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
MassyAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05685745Recruiting
Hospital data collection for very early baby care
This study collects information from hospitals about babies born extremely early (22 to 23 weeks of pregnancy). It helps researchers understand what care happens and what outcomes occur, which can guide improvements in future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 year - NCT04392401Recruiting
Study immune changes in adults during ICU stay for COVID-19
This study looks at how your immune system responds while you’re in the intensive care unit (ICU) for COVID-19. Researchers will collect samples early in the ICU stay to better understand immune changes during the illness.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03753412Recruiting
Rehab program for adults after ICU recovery on ECMO
This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04676347Recruiting
Study of care quality in semi-intensive hospital units
This study looks at how health care is delivered in semi-intensive care units. It may help improve hospital care for people who are treated in these units, though it likely does not test a specific medicine.
Milan, MilanAges Any age - NCT03984656RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve-block pain control during lung fluid drainage in ICU
This trial tests whether a specific pain-relief nerve block (given with numbing medicine) can make pleural drainage in the ICU more comfortable. It may help reduce pain during the procedure for people who are awake and breathing on their own.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07836218Enrolling by invitation
Study on why intensive care nurses cut back
This study looks at how a nurse's professional pride, overall well-being, and workplace spirituality affect quiet quitting, which means doing the minimum required instead of fully engaging. The results may help hospitals support nurses better.
Bilecik, BilecikAges 18 years+ - NCT06062303Recruiting
Capillary refill time to guide septic shock treatment
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT07069010Recruiting
Palliative care education for ICU staff
