Metabolomics study of ICU-acquired weakness after surgery
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07737353Recruiting
Education for families of ICU patients with tracheostomy
This study tests whether a structured education program for family members of ICU patients who need a tracheostomy helps them feel more prepared and less stressed. You would be asked to attend training sessions and fill out some questionnaires.

Ultrasound to Confirm Breathing Tube Placement in ICU
This study tests whether using a handheld ultrasound device (a small machine that uses sound waves to see inside the body) placed on the neck or chest is better at confirming that a breathing tube is correctly positioned in the windpipe than the usual methods. It is for adults in the intensive care unit who need a breathing tube to keep their airway safe.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06891599Recruiting
Blood test for clotting in sepsis and trauma ICU patients
This study is testing a special blood test called ROTEM to see how well it can predict bleeding problems in ICU patients with sepsis or severe trauma. It may help doctors give the right treatment faster.
