This study tests a special monitor that predicts low blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients. It includes 46 adults with kidney injury or failure who need dialysis. The goal is to see if using this monitor can help prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure.

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) move more and improve their mood. Researchers at Duke University will enroll 60 adults who have been in the ICU for at least 3 days and have limited mobility. Participants will …

This study tests whether playing brain-training games in virtual reality can improve memory, attention, and thinking skills in adults who recently left the intensive care unit (ICU). About 51 participants will either use a VR headset, a tablet, or receive standard care. The goal …

This study is for adults aged 65 and older in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers want to see if three simple measures—the CALLY index (a blood test), a frailty score, and the SOFA-2 score—can better predict who is at risk of dying in the ICU. The goal is to help doctors m…

This study is testing treatments that are already used in intensive care units (ICUs), such as medicines for low blood pressure, platelet transfusions, and nutrition plans. The goal is to find out which approaches work best for critically ill patients. About 5,500 adults in ICUs …

This study compares a new blood pressure cuff (Philips AMC) with the standard arterial line (a small tube in the wrist) in 205 adults having surgery or in the ICU. The goal is to see if the cuff can accurately measure blood pressure and predict fluid needs. Participants must be 1…
