Blood pressure and heart function in ICU patients

This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly stop blood flow to one arm) to see how it affects heart and blood flow in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are in the ICU, over 18, and have a special heart monitor, you may be able to join.

This study tests whether a noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff gives accurate readings in people being cared for in intensive care or the operating room. It will compare the cuff’s numbers to blood pressure measured through an arterial line in different patient groups.

This trial uses bedside heart ultrasound to look for right-sided heart strain in people in the ICU. It may help doctors recognize heart injury earlier in patients who need breathing machines and/or strong blood-pressure support.

This study looks at how tiny blood vessels under the tongue work in healthy people and in critically ill ICU patients. For healthy volunteers, it checks normal function; for ICU patients, it measures changes while they are on strong blood-pressure support and a breathing tube.

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.

This study compares individualized blood pressure goals versus the usual (standard) targets for adults in the ICU with shock. The aim is to see whether tailored blood pressure treatment can improve outcomes by better matching each person’s needs.
