Toronto, OntarioAges 6 months–8 months - NCT06966817Enrolling by invitation
Mouth care solutions for ventilator patients in the ICU
This study tests two different mouth-care solutions for patients on breathing machines, to see if they can prevent pneumonia and improve mouth health in intensive care.
AnkaraAges 18–90 - NCT07126574Enrolling by invitation
Blood tests for diagnosing sepsis in adult burn patients
This study is testing how well certain blood tests can detect sepsis (a severe infection in the blood) in adults with burns. If you are in the burn ICU with a significant burn and your doctors suspect sepsis, your blood test results may help guide treatment.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05860894Recruiting
Study of new ICU atrial fibrillation

BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07850908Enrolling by invitation
Ventilation method for newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 1 day–2 months - NCT07842510Recruiting
Controlled oxygen for copd flare-ups in the icu
This trial tests whether giving oxygen in a carefully controlled way (using a target range) works better than standard oxygen treatment for people in the ICU with a COPD flare-up. It aims to see if the controlled approach leads to better outcomes, like helping you recover faster.
Mahdia, Mahdia GovernorateAges 40 years+ - NCT07848165Recruiting
Probiotics to prevent pneumonia in children on breathing machines
This trial tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent pneumonia in children who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. If your child is on a ventilator, these friendly bacteria might help keep their lungs healthy.
Tanta, Al GharbiaAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07837180Recruiting
Music for sleep and comfort in NICU newborns
This study tests if playing two types of music—TUMATA and Mozart—can help babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better and feel more comfortable. If your baby is a full-term newborn in the NICU and breathing on their own, this music therapy might help them rest.
KaramanAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07771101Recruiting
Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
