What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 investigates how often difficult intubation occurs in patients undergoing surgery for a deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) and what factors might predict it. Researchers will assess 300 adults using the Cormack-Lehane scale to classify intubation difficulty. The goal is to improve preoperative planning and reduce airway complications.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help anesthesiologists better predict difficult airways in septoplasty patients, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all surgical populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
