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 Results may not be published yet.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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looks back at training records to compare two methods of teaching CPR to medical and nursing students: traditional lectures versus hands-on, case-based simulations where students practice as a team in realistic emergency scenarios. The researchers want to know if simulation helps students gain better skills and knowledge. The study includes 69 first-time interns who completed CPR training between September 2024 and November 2025. Since it uses existing anonymous records, no new activities or visits are required.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
case-based scenario simulation teaching
What this could lead to
If simulation training proves more effective, medical and nursing schools may adopt it to better prepare students for real cardiac arrest emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective review of existing records, not a controlled experiment, so other factors could explain any differences. Also, results from one institution may not apply everywhere.
