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 Results may not be published yet.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

Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study observes how core body temperature changes in adults who experience cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers will measure temperature using a probe inserted into the esophagus during resuscitation and transport to the hospital. They will also track environmental temperature and any warming interventions. The goal is to understand how temperature changes during these critical moments, which could inform future 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 improve how emergency teams manage body temperature during cardiac arrest, potentially leading to better resuscitation protocols and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. Results may be influenced by varying environmental conditions and resuscitation practices, and may not apply to all settings.
