Researchers are testing whether intravenous vitamin C helps patients whose blood pressure stays dangerously low after heart surgery, a condition called vasoplegia syndrome. The trial enrolls 40 adults who develop this problem within six hours of arriving in intensive care. Half r…

This study tested whether a newer breathing support method called NAVA helps patients with ARDS come off mechanical ventilation faster than standard PSV. 130 tracheotomy patients were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal was to see how many days patients wer…

This study looks at 406 patients with acute brain injury who need a breathing machine. Doctors often struggle to know when it's safe to remove the tube, and many patients fail. The goal is to find clues that predict successful weaning, so patients can avoid unnecessary procedures…

This study observed over 4,000 patients in Chinese ICUs who needed breathing support for acute respiratory failure. Researchers tracked treatments, outcomes, and costs to better understand the disease burden. The goal is to improve care and identify risk factors, not to test a ne…

This completed study looked at 1,000 patients who had heart surgery and were then moved to the ICU. Researchers tracked whether high or low oxygen levels increased the chance of developing delirium, a state of confusion. The goal was to understand how oxygen management might affe…

This study looked at 319 adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who were placed face-down to help them breathe. Researchers wanted to see if feeding through a tube placed past the stomach (post-pyloric) caused fewer stomach problems than standard feeding. The goal was to find the…

This study looked at how different settings on a kidney support machine (CRRT) affect the ability of a lung support machine (ECCO2R) to remove carbon dioxide from the blood of 10 adults with respiratory failure. Researchers tested two methods to see which one helps the lung machi…
