What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial compares two ways of teaching expert pediatric nurses how to suction a breathing tube (orotracheal suctioning) — a complex and high-stakes procedure. One group uses a mobile-friendly animated training module, while the other receives a traditional PowerPoint lecture. Researchers measure whether the animation group shows better clinical reasoning and knowledge after training. The study involves 66 nurses with at least five years of experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Animation-based orotracheal suction training (mobile educational intervention)
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a more engaging and effective way to train experienced nurses in complex procedures, potentially improving patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 66 nurses, so results may not apply broadly. The training is educational, not a treatment, so its impact on actual patient outcomes is indirect.
