ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE

This study is testing the safety and performance of a small medical device called the MiniLung petite kit. It is designed to temporarily take over the work of the lungs and heart for critically ill infants and young children who are in severe respiratory or heart failure. Researc…

This study is testing a new AI-powered device called EMILY for patients with serious breathing problems. The device automatically adjusts a patient's oxygen supply to keep their blood oxygen levels in a safe range, aiming to reduce errors and alert medical staff if problems arise…

This study is testing if a special physical therapy program can help patients in intensive care avoid serious breathing problems after their breathing tube is removed. The program combines breathing exercises and early movement. It will compare this approach to standard care in 2…

This study aims to find out which of two common video laryngoscope blades helps doctors place a breathing tube correctly on the first try in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It will compare a standard 'Macintosh' blade against a more sharply angled 'hyperangulated' blade. The …

This study aims to see if a quick, portable ultrasound scan can help emergency room doctors figure out why a patient is suddenly struggling to breathe. Researchers will test if looking at a major vein in the belly and scanning the lungs and heart can accurately tell if the proble…

This study aims to find out which of two common medical devices is better at confirming if a breathing tube is correctly placed in the windpipe of critically ill adults. Researchers will compare a digital waveform monitor to a simple color-changing detector in over 1,300 patients…

This study is testing whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help patients relax, improve their mood, and keep their minds active. Patients recovering from serious conditions like respiratory failure or sepsis will try VR sessions with b…

This study aims to better understand how air moves in the lungs of children with severe breathing failure who are in intensive care. Researchers will use a special, non-invasive monitor to watch lung function in real time. They want to see how common ICU treatments, like changing…

This study aims to understand how adults recovering from serious lung failure (acute respiratory failure) and their family caregivers think about the first 6 months of recovery. Researchers want to see if expectations about the recovery process are linked to anxiety, depression, …

This study aims to find early warning signs of organ problems in critically ill patients on breathing machines. Researchers will collect and analyze tiny samples of breath and blood from 200 patients in intensive care. By looking for specific patterns in these samples, they hope …

This study aims to understand how the type of oxygen monitor and the target oxygen level affect the amount of oxygen given to patients in the ICU. Researchers will test two different brands of finger-clip oxygen monitors and two different target levels on 30 patients receiving hi…

This study aims to identify early warning signs that non-invasive breathing support is failing in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory failure. By observing 325 patients, researchers will look for patterns in vital signs and other data that predict when a patient might ne…
