This study checks how well standard devices measure blood flow in patients on ECMO, a machine that adds oxygen to blood outside the body. About 30 adults on ECMO will have their blood flow measured using different methods, including ultrasound and a leg-raising test. The goal is …

This study checks how well standard devices measure blood flow in 30 adults on ECMO, a machine that pumps and oxygenates blood outside the body. The goal is to see if these monitors give accurate readings during this special situation. Results could help doctors better manage flu…

This study monitors immune function in 200 intensive care patients after severe trauma, high-risk surgery, or respiratory distress. Researchers use a simple, automated blood test to measure interferon-gamma levels, which indicate immune strength. The goal is to identify when pati…

This study aims to create a prediction tool that helps doctors decide which ICU patients who have been on a breathing machine will benefit most from early rehabilitation. Researchers will collect data from 250 patients and use machine learning to build an algorithm. The goal is t…

This study aims to develop and test a new tool called the Mouth Assessment Tool (MAT) for patients in intensive care who have a breathing tube in their mouth. The tool is designed to help nurses assess the condition of the mouth, which can be affected by the tube. Researchers wil…

This study looks at how glucose spreads in the body of adults with severe burns (covering at least 30% of their skin). Researchers will measure glucose levels after a small injection over the first four days. The goal is to see if this measurement can help guide fluid treatment i…

This study looks at how different ventilator modes affect lung volume changes during chest physiotherapy in 40 ICU patients on breathing machines. Researchers will compare two common ventilator settings to see which one helps the lungs expand more after chest compressions. The go…
