Ultrasound test for kidney injury in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit.

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06631001Recruiting
Abdominal massage for digestion in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study tests if gentle abdominal massage can improve digestion in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid food through a tube. It might help prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating or slow digestion.
MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT07384585Recruiting
Light therapy study for children in the ICU
This study tests whether light therapy can help children in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover. A parent or guardian must be at the bedside and speak English.
Columbus, OhioAges 4–17 - NCT06387225Recruiting
Study on brain recovery after cardiac arrest
This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT07343037Recruiting
Diagnosing overactive immune response in ICU patients
This study is looking at patients who were in the intensive care unit and showed signs of a condition called HLH, where the immune system becomes overactive. Researchers want to understand how these signs were diagnosed and managed in the ICU.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07339891Recruiting
ICU stay experience and impact on quality of life
This study looks at how your stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) affected your life and well-being afterward. By answering a short questionnaire, you can help doctors understand what patients go through and improve care for future ICU patients.
StrasbourgAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05451875Recruiting
Check how well a skin patch records vital signs in children
This study tests whether a small skin patch (connected to a device) can accurately record vital signs in children who need close monitoring in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help improve how doctors track a child’s heart rate, breathing, and other key signs.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 day–18 years - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 18 years+ - NCT06545838Recruiting
Testing renin levels to predict septic shock severity
This trial checks if a blood test measuring renin (a kidney hormone) can help predict how severe septic shock will be and how well patients recover. It looks for early clues in ICU patients with sepsis.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07306793Recruiting
Mouth care and meal timing for preterm infants ready to eat
This study tests whether a gentle mouth care routine combined with a special feeding schedule helps preterm babies start eating by mouth more quickly and gain weight. It is designed for stable preterm infants born at 29-33 weeks.
AydinAges 7 months–8 months - NCT07307027Recruiting
Feeding plan for children in intensive care
This study tests a step-by-step feeding plan (enteral nutrition) for children in the pediatric ICU to see if it improves their recovery. It might help if your child is critically ill and can receive nutrition through a tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1 month–16 years - NCT06466980Recruiting
Study of ventilator-related events after cardiac arrest
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 18 years+ - NCT07303335Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia in ICU patients on long-term ventilation
This study checks for muscle loss (sarcopenia) in ICU patients who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to track how muscle health changes during hospital stay.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT06791889Recruiting
Tracking bacteria in blood of ICU sepsis patients
This study uses a highly sensitive blood test (DdPCR) to quickly find and monitor harmful bacteria in ICU patients with sepsis, aiming to improve early detection and treatment.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT07295548Recruiting
Can head and neck flap patients skip the ICU?
This trial compares whether patients recovering from head and neck cancer flap surgery need to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) or can be safely cared for on a regular surgical ward. The goal is to see if a less intensive recovery is safe and equally effective.
Pavia, LombardyAges Any age - NCT07290712Recruiting
Intensive Care Recovery Study in the DACH Region
This study follows patients who spent more than 72 hours in the intensive care unit (ICU) to understand long-term effects and recovery. It may help improve care for future ICU patients.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05984069Recruiting
