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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study compares two ways to place a breathing tube in a manikin: using a new device called the Tulip oropharyngeal airway (which guides the tube in without seeing the vocal cords) versus the standard method using a laryngoscope. The participants are anesthesia technician students with no prior airway experience. The goal is to see which method leads to a higher success rate on the first try, helping determine which technique is easier for beginners to learn.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Tulip oropharyngeal airway device
What this could lead to
If the Tulip airway proves easier for beginners, it could become a training tool to help novice healthcare workers learn intubation skills more quickly.
What could go wrong
This is a small manikin study, not a real-patient trial. Results may not translate to actual clinical settings, and the device may not perform as well in real emergencies.
