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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study tested two ways of dressing central venous catheters in 78 intensive care patients: one using gauze and tape, the other using a clear, medicated patch. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer medical device-related pressure injuries at the insertion site. Researchers regularly checked the skin and used a standard risk scale to track any damage.

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 one dressing type clearly causes fewer pressure injuries, it could guide hospitals to choose safer dressings for ICU patients with central lines.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study (78 participants) that only looked at early-stage pressure injuries. Results may not apply to all ICU patients or settings.
