Study in ICU patients with prolonged breathing support
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes in adults who need breathing support for at least 5 days in intensive care. It may help clinicians better understand and manage complications in this critical illness group.

This study looks at patients who have been in the ICU for at least 8 days and have certain serious conditions. The goal is to understand their health patterns over time. You may be able to join if you have been in the ICU for 8+ days and meet one of the listed conditions.
This study looks at whether people with cirrhosis who are on a breathing machine have increased pressure in the belly and small unnoticed breathing mist (microaspiration). It may help doctors better monitor and prevent breathing complications while patients are being mechanically ventilated.
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work and change in ICU patients who are placed on breathing machines, then follows outcomes after they leave the hospital. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health after ventilation.
This study looks at how long-term inflammation affects the breathing of people who have been on a ventilator for 10 days or more. It aims to help doctors better understand and support your recovery.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
