Closed blood-sampling system for ICU patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Infections clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to draw blood from an arterial line that may reduce infection and blood loss. It is for adults in the ICU who need an arterial line for several days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with an arterial line (a small tube in an artery).
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 3 more days with the arterial line.
- You do not have any limits on life-sustaining treatments (like a do-not-resuscitate order).
- You are not a Jehovah's Witness.
- You do not have chronic kidney failure, active stomach or intestinal bleeding, or a blood cancer.
- If you are a woman of childbearing age, you are not currently menstruating or pregnant.

This study looks at whether taking blood cultures from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) gives more accurate results and is less likely to have false positives compared to how blood is usually drawn. It may help improve how infections are detected in ICU patients.
This trial tests a new way to draw blood for infection testing using ultrasound to guide the needle. It may help make blood draws easier and safer for critically ill patients in the ICU.
This study tests a new automatic blood pressure cuff that may work as well as the standard invasive blood pressure monitor. It is for adults in the operating room, recovery room, or intensive care unit who already have an arterial line.
This trial looks at specific cell damage processes (called ferroptosis and pyroptosis) in very sick ICU patients. The goal is to learn more about these processes so doctors can better treat life-threatening organ failure caused by conditions like sepsis, trauma, or severe bleeding.
This study is looking at infections from central lines (special IVs in large veins) in ICU patients across China. It aims to understand how common these infections are and what factors contribute to them.
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.
