ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE

This study tests whether a special physiotherapy program can help prevent breathing failure in ICU patients after their breathing tube is removed. It compares this combined breathing and movement therapy to standard care in 256 high-risk patients. The goal is to see if this appro…

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 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 compares two different methods doctors use to check if a breathing tube is correctly placed during emergency intubation of critically ill adults. Researchers will test both methods on the same 1,332 patients to see which one more accurately detects proper tube placemen…

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 is testing whether using a virtual reality headset in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help patients relax, improve their mood, and keep their minds active. Patients with conditions like severe breathing problems or sepsis will try VR sessions with breathing exercises…

This study aims to better understand how air moves in the lungs of children who are very sick with breathing failure and are in the intensive care unit. Researchers will use a special, non-invasive monitor worn like a belt to watch lung function in real time. They want to see how…

This study aims to find early warning signs for complications in critically ill patients on breathing machines. Researchers will collect and analyze tiny samples of breath and blood from 200 patients in intensive care. The goal is to identify patterns that could help doctors dete…

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 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…
