Cortisol Levels and Outcomes in Critically Ill Infection Patients
This study examines how the body's stress hormone (cortisol) relates to survival in patients with severe blood infections in the ICU. Understanding this relationship may help doctors better predict and manage outcomes in critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07597122Recruiting
Blood markers study in septic shock patients
This research study measures special blood markers (microRNAs) in patients with septic shock or critical illness to understand how the body responds to severe infection. Results may help doctors better diagnose and treat sepsis in the future.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07609095Recruiting
Testing pulse checks to assess blood circulation during emergency care
This study examines whether checking a patient's pulse at the wrist or other sites can help doctors quickly assess blood circulation problems during emergencies. The goal is to see if simple pulse checks match what more complex monitoring devices show, helping guide faster treatment decisions.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07619144Recruiting
Improving Heart Pump Outcomes Using Advanced Data Analysis
This study examines detailed data from patients who received an Impella 5.5 heart pump to treat cardiogenic shock—a life-threatening condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood. Researchers use advanced computer analysis to understand what helps patients recover best.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07655479Recruiting
Switching to a stronger heart pump after heart attack
This trial tests whether switching to a more powerful heart pump (Impella 5.5) within 24 hours of a heart attack helps people whose hearts are still struggling despite a standard pump. It may be an option for patients who had a heart attack, received an Impella CP pump, but still need strong medication to keep blood flowing.
CologneAges 18–77 - NCT07373717Enrolling by invitation
Comparing fluid tolerance tests in shock patients
This trial studies different ways to measure how much extra fluid your body can handle when you are in shock. The goal is to see which method works best and helps doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06808100Enrolling by invitation
Can a blood test predict organ failure in septic shock?
This trial is studying a blood marker called GDF-15 to see if it can predict which patients with septic shock might develop multiple organ failure. If you have septic shock and do not have certain other serious health conditions, you may be able to join.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06692036Enrolling by invitation
Blood filtering for septic shock
This trial tests a special blood-filtering method (adaptive blood purification) for people with septic shock caused by a severe infection. It aims to see if this treatment can help control inflammation and improve recovery in the ICU.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–82 - NCT06657625Enrolling by invitation
Improving sepsis care in the emergency department
This trial looks at a new program to improve how doctors and nurses treat sepsis (a severe infection that can cause organ failure) in the emergency department. It aims to see if the program helps start the right treatments faster.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
