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 Results may not be published yet.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 whether a simple ultrasound of the carotid artery during liver transplant surgery can help doctors assess a patient's fluid status. Researchers measured changes in blood flow velocity in the carotid artery in 42 adult liver transplant patients. The goal was to see if this technique could provide useful information about the patient's hemodynamic status and intravascular volume during the operation.

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 this method proves useful, it could give doctors a new, non-invasive way to monitor fluid levels during liver transplant surgery.
What could go wrong
This was a small, single-center study that only measured a specific ultrasound value. It did not test a treatment or prove that using this method improves patient outcomes.
