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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested whether ultrasound measurements of the heart and blood vessels can predict which mechanically ventilated children will benefit from extra fluids. Only about half of children with shock respond to fluids, and too much fluid can be harmful. The researchers used a device to measure heart function before and after a small fluid challenge, looking for signs that reliably identify responders. The study was very small (4 participants) and completed, but larger studies are needed to confirm the approach.

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 successful, this could give doctors a reliable, non-invasive way to decide which children need IV fluids, potentially reducing harm from unnecessary fluids.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study (only 4 participants) and the methods need much larger testing before they can be used in routine care.
