Understanding recovery after a hospital stay with a breathing machine
This study looks at how people recover after being on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU). The researchers want to understand if social and economic factors affect recovery, which may help improve support for patients after they leave the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 inflammation and genetics affect thinking and emotional recovery after a serious illness requiring ICU care. It aims to find ways to predict who may need more support during recovery.
This study looks at whether a special rehabilitation program in a step-down unit (HDU) can help people recover from post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). If you have PICS and are moving from the ICU to a step-down unit, the program may improve your recovery.
