How the body makes energy in critical illness
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body produces energy in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It compares energy production between ICU patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) on a breathing machine
- You must have an arterial line (a tube in an artery) and a central line (a tube in a large vein)
- You must be expected to stay in the ICU for more than 3 days

This study looks at how a short period of fasting affects the body's immune system and metabolism in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors understand how to better support patients during critical illness.
This trial tests whether providing nutrition that is precisely matched to your body's energy needs can improve recovery for patients on breathing machines. It uses a special test to measure your metabolism and adjust the feeding accordingly.
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at muscle and metabolism changes in people who have been in the ICU for at least 7 days after major abdominal surgery. It aims to understand how recovery affects the body.
This study looks at how mitochondria (the energy centers of your cells) work in critically ill patients who need a breathing tube and ventilator. It aims to understand changes in cell energy during serious illness.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan from a dietitian for 6 months can help people who have been seriously ill in the ICU recover better. It focuses on patients who had organ failure and who live in Norway.
