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

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 Results may not be published yet.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 tested two different airway devices (a standard gum elastic bougie and a flexible-tip bougie) for intubating a simulated trapped patient with a neck injury. Fifty experienced paramedics each tried both devices on a manikin in a confined space. Researchers measured how fast and how easily each device allowed successful intubation and ventilation. The goal is to find which tool works best when access to the patient's airway is difficult.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Flexible-tip bougie and standard gum elastic bougie (both devices used for intubation)
What this could lead to
If one device proves faster or easier, it could become the preferred tool for paramedics intubating trapped patients, potentially improving emergency airway management.
What could go wrong
This was a small manikin study with 50 paramedics, not real patients. Results may not translate to actual emergency settings or different patient types.
