Timing of complications after surgery in the first day in intensive care
This study watches patients for the first 24 hours after they move to an intensive care unit (ICU) following surgery. It tracks when complications happen during that time to help improve care.

This study looks at whether starting to move early (like sitting up or walking) during your ICU stay after surgery can help you recover faster and possibly shorten your time in the ICU. It aims to find out if early movement is safe and beneficial for people who stay in the ICU for a long time.
This study follows patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are there because of surgery or a surgical problem. It helps doctors understand and improve care for people in your situation.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes and oxygen levels after heart surgery relate to complications. It may help improve care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after their first heart surgery.
This study tracks and evaluates the complications that can happen after major surgery, aiming to improve recovery and care for patients. It may help doctors better understand and prevent post-surgery problems for both adults and children.
This study looks back at patients who had brain surgery and were in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours. Researchers want to learn about their pain scores, which can help improve care for future patients.
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
