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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a computer-driven system called Smartcare/PS could help children with respiratory failure come off a breathing machine faster than usual care. Thirty children were enrolled, and the system automatically adjusted breathing support based on each child's needs. The goal was to see if this approach shortens the time to first extubation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Smartcare/PS computer-driven weaning system
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make weaning children off ventilators faster and more consistent, reducing time on life support.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 30 children, so results may not apply broadly. The computer system may not work better than standard care.

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

30 people

The number who actually took part.

Start date

Sep 2007

Finished

Jul 2009

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

2 to 18 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

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: * The attending physician thinks that the patient will be able to breathe spontaneously or the patients is already breathing spontaneously. * No vasopressor or inotropic medication, unless the patient is receiving some digitalin or small doses of dopamine (\< 5 µg/kg/min) * Slight or no endotracheal tube gas-leakage (\[Vti - Vte\]/Vti ≤ 20%) * Mechanical ventilation with a plateau pressure ≤ 25 cmH2O over PEEP * PEEP ≤ 8 cmH2O * FiO2 ≤ 60% in order to obtain pulse oxymetry ≥ 95% * PaCO2 \< 70 mmHg on the last blood gases * Extubation not expected the day of inclusion Exclusion Criteria: * N/A
