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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial compares a new two-person lateral rotation technique with the standard method for inserting a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), a device used to help patients breathe during anesthesia. The study includes 70 adults undergoing short, elective surgeries. The main goal is to see if the new technique increases the chance of successful placement on the first try, which could reduce complications and speed up the process.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a two-person lateral rotation technique for laryngeal mask airway insertion
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could make airway placement faster and more reliable during anesthesia, reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 70 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The technique may not improve success rates or could be harder to perform.

Phase

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 70 people

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

Expected to start

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor
