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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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 placing elderly patients (ages 65-80) with high blood pressure in a lithotomy (legs-up) position for two minutes before anesthesia could prevent a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to either the legs-up position or the standard flat position. The researchers monitored blood pressure closely after anesthesia to see if the simple positioning helped maintain stability and reduce the need for emergency medication.

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 it works, this simple, no-cost positioning technique could help prevent low blood pressure during anesthesia in older adults with high blood pressure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and the effect may be modest.
