Compound Ejiao Syrup for recovery after ICU stay
This trial tests if a traditional Chinese medicine syrup (Compound Ejiao Syrup) can help improve exercise tolerance and quality of life for patients who have recently been discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). It looks at people who needed a breathing tube for at least 2 days and were in the ICU for 8 to 28 days.

This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
This study looks at whether it's safe and helpful to let people with severe breathing problems in the ICU eat and drink normally instead of fasting. If you qualify, you may be assigned to either continue eating or to fast while doctors monitor your recovery.
This trial tests different treatment strategies for severe pneumonia in patients who are in the ICU, on a breathing machine, and sedated. The goal is to find the best approach to help you recover.
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
