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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study used a special belt (electrical impedance tomography) to monitor lung function in 30 children aged 1 to 6 years during anesthesia for MRI scans. The goal was to see how much lung collapse occurs and how quickly it resolves after the procedure. The findings could help make pediatric anesthesia safer by guiding better breathing support.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
electrical impedance tomography (a non-invasive lung monitoring device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help anesthesiologists better monitor and prevent lung collapse in children during procedures, improving safety standards.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to all cases. It does not test a treatment or change in care.
