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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07340060Recruiting
Study of bicarbonate levels and emergency room outcomes
This study looks at whether the level of bicarbonate (a substance in your blood) when you arrive at the emergency room can help predict if you might need to be in the intensive care unit or die within the next 48 hours. It's a simple blood test, no extra procedures.
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+ - NCT06446453Recruiting
Lung Ultrasound-Guided Surfactant For Preterm Infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant medication guided by a lung ultrasound, instead of by X-ray, helps preterm babies with breathing problems get better without needing a breathing tube. Babies in the study receive surfactant through a thin tube while still on non-invasive breathing support.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges birth–2 hours - 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 - NCT02118467RecruitingPhase 4
Testing medicines that raise blood pressure in ICU shock patients
This trial studies whether “blood pressure–supporting” medicines (given through a central line) work well and safely for adults in the ICU who have shock. Your team may use the results to improve care for people with low blood pressure and poor blood flow to organs.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02551081Recruiting
Genetic testing to guide care for newborn birth defects
This trial uses genetic testing to better understand the cause of a newborn’s birth defect and to help doctors choose more personalized treatment. It may help families get clearer answers and more targeted care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT02893462Recruiting
Collecting health and signal data from ICU patients
This trial sets up a way to collect and store physiological readings (like vital-sign data) from adults in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve how doctors understand and monitor critically ill patients over time.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT02738645Recruiting
Study of pneumonia patients in the ICU
This study follows people who are admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit (a special ICU for breathing problems) because they have pneumonia. It may help doctors better understand pneumonia in ICU patients and improve care in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07439692Recruiting
ICU Out-of-Pocket Expenses Study
This study looks at how much money patients and their families pay out of pocket while in the ICU. It hopes to understand the financial burden of critical care.
Kabul, KabulAges Any age - NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT07467551Recruiting
Pain scale study for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a pain scale for patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot speak. It aims to help doctors better recognize pain in these patients.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT07478367Recruiting
Muscle weakness in hospitalized patients outside the ICU
This study looks at muscle weakness that can develop when you are in the hospital for an acute illness but not in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this weakness is and what factors might be involved.
RozzanoAges Any age - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07501494Recruiting
Intensive care study: quality of care and outcomes
This trial examines how well intensive care units perform by looking at patient data, hospital records, and costs. It may help improve care for future patients.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07525284Recruiting
