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
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tested whether ultrasound can reliably show if a critically ill child's stomach is empty before removing their breathing tube. Researchers monitored 34 children in intensive care, scanning their stomachs multiple times over 12 hours after stopping feeding. The goal was to see if current fasting rules, borrowed from surgery, are appropriate for these children. The study was terminated early, so findings are limited.

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 lead to better fasting guidelines for critically ill children before extubation, reducing aspiration risk.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 34 participants, so results are limited and may not apply broadly. Ultrasound accuracy can vary.

Inclusion Criteria: * 0 to 17 year old children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit * intubated (oral or nasal tracheal tube) * gastric enteral feeding affording at least 25% of the nutritional target (estimated with Schofield equations) * No opposition from one of the 2 parents (or legal representatives) Exclusion Criteria: * anatomical anomaly of the stomach location (e.g. post surgery) * Difficult access to perform gastric ultra-sounding (drains, plasters, dressings etc.) * mobilization to right lateral decubitus at risk
