Recruiting studies
- NCT06027684Recruiting
Intensive care decisions, survival, and dying well
This study talks to adults who have been in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand their views on life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life wishes, and when they would want less or more care. It aims to improve how doctors and families make these hard decisions together.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06054828Recruiting
Modified ICU program to prevent confusion
This trial tests a special program for people in the ICU who are on a breathing machine. The program aims to prevent confusion and help patients recover better.
Taipei, National Taiwan UniversityAges 18 years+ - NCT06296381Recruiting
Measuring normal muscle strength in ICU patients and healthy people
This study measures normal muscle strength in healthy people and ICU patients to create a reference guide. If you are healthy or in the ICU and can follow instructions, you may be able to help.
Recife, BrazilAges 18–90 - NCT06154382Recruiting
Thyroid hormone treatment for low T4 in ICU patients
This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit who had very low T4 (a thyroid hormone) levels. It checks whether giving them Eltroxin (a thyroid medication) helped their recovery.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06172491Recruiting
Automated tool to measure ICU delirium severity
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT06174662Recruiting
Music for comfort during ICU movement
This study tests whether listening to music during movement exercises (like sitting up or walking) helps reduce discomfort in ICU patients. If you are calm enough and speak Dutch, this might be an option for you.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06180902Recruiting
Testing fluid response methods in patients with reduced consciousness
This trial compares different ways to check if a patient in the ICU with lowered consciousness needs more IV fluids. It aims to find the most accurate method, which could help doctors give the right amount of fluid.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06209060Recruiting
Comfort positions for preterm babies in the NICU
This study tests whether placing preterm babies in a 'hammock' or 'nesting' position helps them feel more comfortable and stable in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks who are healthy enough not to need oxygen or a breathing machine.
IstanbulAges 7 months–9 months - NCT06229288RecruitingPhase 3
Pneumonia treatment: amoxicillin alone vs. with clavulanate for adults 65+
This trial compares two antibiotics for older adults hospitalized with pneumonia. It aims to see if amoxicillin alone works as well as amoxicillin combined with clavulanate, which might reduce side effects.
Saint-Nazaire, FranceAges 65 years+ - NCT06260345Recruiting
Children with severe bacterial infections in intensive care
This trial looks at how children with severe bacterial infections that start outside the hospital are treated in the pediatric intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these infections to improve care for kids.
CréteilAges Up to 18 years - NCT06289075Recruiting
Predicting ICU and ventilator needs through 2040
This study looks back at patients in the ICU from 2005 to 2023 to better predict how many days future patients might need intensive care or a breathing machine. Understanding these patterns could help hospitals and doctors prepare for future needs.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 1 day–120 years - NCT06305468Recruiting
Toxoplasmosis prognosis in ICU patients diagnosed by PCR
This study looks at how people with severe toxoplasmosis (a parasitic infection) that affects the brain or spreads in the body, and who need intensive care, recover. It uses a sensitive test called PCR to confirm the infection.
Paris, FranceAges 18–100 - NCT06692400Recruiting
Suctioning, pain, and blood markers in intubated patients
This study looks at how routine suctioning of the breathing tube affects pain levels and certain substances in the blood in adults who are on a breathing machine for serious infections like flu, pneumonia, COVID, or sepsis. It may help doctors better understand and manage your comfort during this procedure.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06330610Recruiting
Intermittent tube feeding for organ failure in the ICU
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Rouen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06341062Recruiting
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. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06346119Recruiting
Touch relaxation in ICU patients on a breathing machine
This study tests whether gentle touch therapy (like a hand or foot massage) helps reduce stress in patients who are on a breathing machine and sedated in the ICU. The goal is to make the recovery process more comfortable.
NiortAges 18 years+ - NCT06361225Recruiting
Routine RUSH protocol in the ICU
This study looks at what happens when ICU patients are checked every day with a simple ultrasound exam called the RUSH protocol. It may help doctors find problems earlier and improve care.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT06411561Recruiting
Boosting memory after ICU stay for older adults
This study tests a combination of activities (like cognitive training and exercise) to help older adults recover thinking and memory after a serious illness in the ICU. It may help you regain sharpness and independence after leaving the intensive care unit.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 60 years+ - NCT06415916Recruiting
Ultrasound to check fluid needs in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound to see if patients in the intensive care unit need additional fluids. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids more accurately.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06421012Recruiting
Extra oxygen before breathing tube suctioning in the ICU
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen before a breathing tube suctioning procedure (called tracheal aspiration) helps patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06427265Recruiting
Recovery after ICU: a long-term study
This study follows people after they leave the ICU to see how they recover over time. It uses computer programs to find patterns and create early warning tools to help doctors spot problems sooner.
