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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at whether continuously monitoring both breathing rate and oxygen levels can better detect breathing problems in adults recovering from surgery who are taking opioid pain medication. Researchers added a breathing rate monitor to an existing oxygen monitoring system in 87 patients, but kept the breathing data hidden from doctors. They then reviewed the data to see if it could have spotted early signs of respiratory depression or sepsis sooner than standard care.

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 show that adding respiratory rate monitoring helps catch breathing problems earlier in patients recovering from surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study where the new monitoring was not used to guide treatment, so it can only suggest potential benefits, not prove them.
