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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

This study tests whether a small, handheld cardiac ultrasound device can reliably confirm that an intravenous (IV) line has been placed correctly in children aged 1 to 6 years undergoing surgery. Researchers will compare the handheld device to a standard, larger ultrasound machine. If the handheld approach proves accurate, it could offer a more portable and convenient way to verify IV placement in young patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
handheld cardiac ultrasound device (Lumify) compared to a traditional ultrasound machine (Sonosite)
What this could lead to
If the handheld device works as well as the traditional one, it could make verifying IV placement faster and easier in children, especially in settings where moving a larger machine is difficult.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study. The handheld device may not be as accurate as the standard machine, and results may not apply to all pediatric patients or settings.

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part
