Worldwide ICU infection snapshot aims to save lives
NCT ID NCT07309549
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will look at 10,000 adults in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world during a single 24-hour period. Researchers want to find out how common infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are, how they are treated, and how patients recover. No new treatments are given—just data collection from medical records. The goal is to understand global patterns and improve care for critically ill patients.
