New breathing technique may help ICU patients get off ventilators faster
Disease control CompletedThis study tested two ways of helping patients with a tracheotomy (a tube in the throat) breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. The goal was to see if a method called NAVA works better than the standard PSV method. 130 adults with ARDS took part. The researchers measur…

Kidney machine tweaks may boost CO2 scrubbing in lung failure
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how combining a kidney support machine (CRRT) with a CO2 removal device affects how well carbon dioxide is removed from the blood in people with respiratory failure. Ten adults who were already using both machines took part. The goal was to compare two differ…

New study probes better feeding for critically ill patients on stomach ventilation
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 319 adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who were placed on their stomachs to help breathing. Researchers wanted to see if giving nutrition through a tube placed deeper in the gut (post-pyloric) reduced feeding problems compared to standard stomach feeding.…

Oxygen levels linked to Post-Surgery confusion in 1000 heart patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study examined whether high or low oxygen levels after heart surgery increase the risk of delirium (sudden confusion). Researchers monitored 1000 patients in the ICU after cardiac surgery. The goal was to understand the relationship, not to test a new treatment.
