ICU

This study compares two ways of using breathing machines in adults with severe burns (covering 20% or more of the body). One method, called Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV), automatically adjusts the machine's settings to the patient's needs. The other is standard lung-protecti…

This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the muscles used to breathe in (inspiratory) versus out (expiratory) can help patients on mechanical ventilators wean off the machine faster. The trial will include 48 adults aged 45-65 who have been on a ventilator for at least …

This study tests a special eye-tracking device to help patients in the ICU who cannot speak or move normally. The device lets them communicate by looking at a screen. Researchers want to see if it reduces frustration, anxiety, and time spent in the ICU. About 54 adults will use t…

This study compares two teaching methods for bedside lung ultrasound in the ICU: case-based learning (CBL) versus traditional lectures. 106 medical residents and students will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better practical skills a…

This study aims to find early warning signs of acute kidney injury in children admitted to the intensive care unit. Researchers will monitor 100 children, tracking their medical history, daily fluid intake, urine output, and lab tests. The goal is to identify which risk factors—l…

This study looks at 377 adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who were treated with prone positioning (lying face down to help breathing). Researchers will use computer models to predict which patients are at highest risk of dying in the ICU. The goal is to help doctors make bet…

This study will follow 500 critically ill adults in the ICU to see if changes in a blood protein called prealbumin can predict who will die or get infections. Researchers will track prealbumin levels over time and compare them to patient outcomes. No new treatment is given—partic…
