Surviving the pediatric intensive care unit

This study follows people who have stayed in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand long-term effects of ICU treatment. It may help improve future care plans by identifying problems that last after leaving the ICU.

This study looks at how your financial and social situation might affect your recovery after a serious ICU illness. You and one close family member or friend will fill out questionnaires to help doctors better understand long-term challenges for ICU survivors.

This study looks at patients who spent at least 2 days in the ICU (intensive care unit) to understand the physical, mental, and emotional challenges they face during recovery. Researchers will ask you questions about your health and function to identify what kind of support might help you feel better.

This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.

This study tests whether a specialized rehabilitation program helps patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit (ICU). Many ICU patients struggle with weakness, memory problems, or emotional difficulties after discharge—this trial aims to help them regain independence faster.

This study tests whether teaching ICU patients and their families about recovery can help patients regain strength and function after leaving the hospital. Researchers will follow patients for several months after discharge to see if the education makes a difference in their recovery.
