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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether using lung ultrasound to adjust ventilator pressure could improve oxygen levels in people with blunt chest trauma. Nineteen adults with rib fractures or lung bruises who needed breathing support were enrolled. The trial was terminated early, so the findings are limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
lung ultrasound guidance for ventilator settings
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help doctors set ventilator pressure more precisely for chest trauma patients, potentially improving oxygen levels.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with only 19 participants, so results are very limited. The technique may not work better than standard care and requires skilled ultrasound operators.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 or more * Admitted to intensive care or continuing care for 72 hours or less for blunt chest trauma, defined by the presence of at least one of the following elements on the initial CT scan: fracture(s) of rib(s) / fracture(s) of the sternum / pulmonary contusion / hemothorax * Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure defined by the administration of oxygen at least 3 L/min with nasal cannula or FiO2≥30% if high flow oxygen therapy. * Patient with a functional arterial catheter for blood tests Exclusion Criteria: * Acute respiratory distress, defined by the presence of at least one of the following clinical signs: respiratory rate ˃ 35 / use of accessory inspirators / paradoxal abdominal or thoracic motion * Imminent need for invasive mechanical ventilation * Usual contraindication to non-invasive ventilation (undrained pneumothorax, trauma to the face, vigilance disorders, digestive bleeding, hemodynamic instability, intolerance) * Hypercapnia (PaCO2˃45mmHg) * Patient unable to cooperate, communicate * Therapeutic limitation * Expected length of stay ≤ 48h * Severe head trauma * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Participation in other clinical research related to respiratory failure/respiratory therapy * Vulnerable people * Protected adults, under guardianship or curatorship, or unable to give consent * Non-affiliated person or beneficiary of a social security scheme * Absence of free, informed and written consent, signed by the participant and the investigator
