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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether physiotherapy (special breathing exercises and early movement) could prevent acute respiratory failure within 7 days after a breathing tube is removed in ICU patients at high risk. 245 patients took part. The goal was to see if physiotherapy reduces the rate of respiratory failure compared to standard care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
physiotherapy (respiratory care and early rehabilitation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce the chance of respiratory failure after a breathing tube is removed in ICU patients.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results are not yet widely known. The benefit may be small or not apply to all high-risk patients.
