Intensive care gut bacteria study
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people in the ICU with severe brain injury or multiple trauma/shock. It uses a noninvasive breathing measurement to see how energy needs relate to the gut's microbes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have either a severe brain injury (with a breathing tube) or multiple injuries without brain injury / shock.
- Your expected stay in the ICU is more than 48 hours.
- You are over 18 years old and not pregnant.
- You are not under legal guardianship or unable to consent.

This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of ICU patients who cannot tolerate tube feeding. Doctors want to see if these bacteria can be used as markers of how well a patient is responding to feeding, and maybe guide future treatment.
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to understand how these bacteria change during critical illness, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests a treatment that changes the gut bacteria of adults in the ICU who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if it helps prevent harmful germs from growing in the gut, which might lead to better recovery.
