Could a Ketamine-Like drug improve sedation for sepsis patients on life support?
Disease control OngoingThis study tests esketamine, a drug related to ketamine, for sedation and delirium prevention in 80 septic patients who need a breathing tube. The goal is to see if esketamine can reduce time on the ventilator and improve survival compared to standard sedatives. The trial is acti…

New software aims to cut ventilator complications in ICUs
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests whether a software tool called the Respiratory Knowledge Portal (RKP) can help ICU teams reduce complications in patients on breathing machines. Researchers will collect data from 875 patients to see if the tool improves how alarms are set, helps wean patients of…

Which ventilator mode saves more lives? massive ICU study aims to find out
Knowledge-focused By invitation onlyThis study looks at whether the type of breathing machine setting used in the intensive care unit (ICU) affects how well patients recover. Researchers will switch the ventilator mode used across entire ICUs every two months and track outcomes like days alive without a breathing m…

ICU physiotherapy under the microscope: can we measure its true cost?
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at how much energy critically ill patients on ventilators use during routine passive physiotherapy. By measuring oxygen consumption with a special device in the breathing tube, researchers hope to understand the physical demands of these exercises. The goal is to…

New study aims to shorten ICU stays for breathing failure patients
Knowledge-focused By invitation onlyThis study looks at a care approach called a time-limited trial (TLT) for ICU patients who need a breathing machine. Doctors, patients, and families agree to try treatments for a set time, then check if the patient is recovering. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce ICU…

Can moving more in the ICU help seniors recover better?
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study follows 312 older adults who survived a critical illness to see how much they moved during their ICU stay. Researchers want to learn if more activity leads to less disability, better mobility, and clearer thinking 3 to 12 months later. The goal is to find ways to impro…

Study aims to improve ventilator weaning by measuring diaphragm strength
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis observational study looks at how the amount of air left in the lungs after breathing out affects measurements of diaphragm strength. Researchers will test 30 healthy volunteers and then compare results with ventilated ICU patients. The goal is to develop a way to correct dia…
