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

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 trial compared two ways to place a breathing tube (intubation) in adults having surgery: the standard direct laryngoscope and a video laryngoscope. Over 1,000 patients were included, and anesthesia residents performed all intubations. The study aimed to see which method leads to more successful first attempts and fewer complications.

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 videolaryngoscopy proves better, it could become the standard teaching tool for new doctors, improving patient safety during intubation.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are already known. The comparison may show no meaningful difference, or benefits may not apply outside the operating room.

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