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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during breathing tube placement can prevent dangerous drops in oxygen levels in newborns. About 110 infants in the NICU took part. The approach is simple and could make a common emergency procedure safer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Apneic oxygenation via nasal cannula
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple procedure could reduce dangerous oxygen drops during emergency breathing tube placement in newborns.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 110 infants, so results may not apply to all NICU settings. The procedure may not prevent desaturation in every case.

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