Measuring breathing and phosphate changes in early critical illness
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing and phosphate levels change in the first days of critical illness. It may help doctors understand and manage these changes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- Your ICU stay is expected to be longer than 72 hours.
- You are receiving or will receive nutrition through a tube or IV.
- You have an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) for blood sampling.

- You are not on ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs).

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.
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 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 the nutritional status of children aged 1 month to 5 years who are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to understand how their nutrition is affected during critical illness, which may help improve care.
This study looks at the health of mitochondria (the energy centers of cells) in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these energy centers are affected during critical illness, which may guide future treatments.
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
