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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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

Summary

This study tests whether a special breathing technique called a recruitment maneuver can prevent lung collapse (atelectasis) in children aged 1-14 during surgery. 78 children will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard breathing support, a recruitment maneuver, or a recruitment maneuver done in different positions. Doctors will use lung ultrasound to check how well the lungs are working and track any breathing problems after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
recruitment maneuver (a breathing technique during surgery to reopen collapsed lung areas)
What this could lead to
If effective, this technique could reduce lung complications after surgery in children, making recovery safer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (78 children) comparing different breathing methods, so results may not apply to all patients. The maneuvers themselves may cause temporary changes in lung pressure.

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 78 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
