NCT ID NCT01296724

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at how to accurately measure pressure inside the bladder of newborns in intensive care. Doctors need to know the right amount of fluid to use for reliable readings, especially in very small babies. The goal is to improve early detection of abdominal compartment syndrome, a serious condition where pressure builds up in the belly and can damage organs. Researchers will test different fluid volumes in babies with and without digestive problems to find the best method.

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 establish a standard method for measuring abdominal pressure in newborns, helping doctors detect dangerous abdominal compartment syndrome earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study focused on measurement technique, not treatment. Results may not apply to all newborns or lead directly to improved outcomes.
