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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

Summary

This study tests a new way to manage alarms in intensive care units (ICUs). Currently, patients trigger hundreds of alarms daily, most of which are false or unimportant. The researchers will compare standard alarm management (left to nurses) with a stricter protocol that limits alarms. They will measure how many alarms go off and how long patients have dangerous vital signs, aiming to reduce noise and improve safety. About 514 ICU patients will take part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
alarm management protocol (restrictive vs. standard)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to quieter ICUs and fewer false alarms, potentially improving patient safety and comfort.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on process, not a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to other hospitals, and reducing alarms could risk missing real emergencies.
