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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study compares two ways to predict if placing a breathing tube in a child will be difficult: standard physical checks versus ultrasound measurements of the airway. Researchers will study 130 children having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which method is more accurate, potentially improving safety for young patients.

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 lead to a safer, more reliable way to predict difficult airway management in children before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. The results may not apply to all children or settings, and ultrasound requires training.

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