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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two teaching methods for bedside lung ultrasound in the ICU: case-based learning (CBL) versus traditional lectures. 106 medical residents and students will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better practical skills and clinical reasoning.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Case-Based Learning (CBL) teaching method
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that case-based learning is a more effective way to train doctors in emergency lung ultrasound, potentially improving patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study focused on education, not a direct treatment. Results may not apply to other hospitals or settings.

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

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 106 people

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

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

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: * Standardized residency trainees currently rotating in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), specializing in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, or General Practice. * Have completed institutional basic ultrasound theory training or possess preliminary ultrasound knowledge. * Voluntarily participate and provide written informed consent. * Able to complete the entire teaching and evaluation schedule (including written test and OSCE). Exclusion Criteria: * Prior formal training or certification in lung/critical care ultrasound. * Unable to complete the study period due to rotation scheduling or absence. * Decline or withdraw informed consent.
