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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether using a bougie—a thin, flexible guide—on the first attempt helps doctors insert a breathing tube more successfully in emergency situations outside the hospital. About 710 adults needing emergency intubation will be randomly assigned to receive either a bougie-assisted or standard tube placement. The goal is to see if the bougie increases first-attempt success and reduces complications like low oxygen or heart rate drops.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bougie (a flexible guide used to help insert a breathing tube)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make emergency intubation safer and more successful on the first try, reducing risks like low oxygen or heart problems.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial in a specific setting, so results may not apply broadly. The bougie might not improve success rates and could cause rare complications like injury.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 710 people

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

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Managed by a physician staffed mobile intensive care unit (MICU). * With an indication of emergency prehospital endotracheal intubation. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women * Patients with a "not to be resuscitated" indication. * Patients with predictors of difficult intubation (that can be collected in the prehospital setting, including previous history of face, neck, throat surgery or pathology, limited mandibular protrusion, cervical spine trauma, facial trauma, ear-nose-throat malignancy, head or neck burns, history of previous difficult airways) for whom the use of a bougie is indicated on first intubation attempt. * Patients under guardianship, trusteeship or safeguard of justice and patients with no health insurance.
