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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

Cardiac arrest survival in hospitals stays low, and staff on regular wards rarely face these emergencies. Researchers are studying a simulation-based self-training program that lets nurses, doctors, and assistants practice CPR without leaving their department. The study looks at whether staff who use the program score higher on CPR skill checks, and whether more practice sessions relate to better scores.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
simulation-based CPR self-training program
What this could lead to
If the program works, hospitals could adopt short, on-site CPR practice sessions to help staff keep their resuscitation skills sharp between real emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective look at one training program in three pediatric departments, so it cannot prove the training caused any skill differences. Results may not apply to other hospitals or specialties.
