This study is testing whether giving each patient on a ventilator a personalized oxygen target (based on their unique health data) leads to better outcomes than standard care. Researchers will compare death rates and time spent on the ventilator between the two groups. The trial …

This study tests whether robot-assisted leg exercises can prevent older patients from losing strength and independence during a hospital stay. 488 patients aged 65 and older will either receive robot-guided training or standard care. The goal is to see if the robot helps them wal…

This study tests whether giving a thyroid hormone (T3) directly into the lungs can safely improve oxygen levels in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. About 68 critically ill patients on ventilators will either receive the hormone or s…

This study looks at whether using a simple bedside ultrasound exam on all hospitalized patients can shorten their hospital stay. Researchers will check the heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs for common problems. The goal is to see if this routine check helps doctors make faster dec…

This study observes how the diaphragm works in 100 adults with acute respiratory failure who need non-invasive breathing support or high-flow oxygen. Researchers use ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement and thickness at different support levels. The goal is to understand how …

This study watches how a high-frequency ventilator (Servo-n HFOV) works in real hospital use for babies with severe breathing failure. About 75 infants will be observed to see if the machine safely helps them get enough oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. The goal is to gather info…

This study aimed to see if a simple breathing test (Müller maneuver) could predict which patients on ventilators would develop fluid in their lungs during a weaning trial. The test measures changes in heart output to assess fluid status. The study was withdrawn before enrolling a…

This study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with…

This study looks at better ways to check fluid levels in adults with acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a sudden drop in kidney function that can be made worse by too little or too much fluid. Researchers will compare different assessment methods, including physical exams and bioi…

This study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observatio…
