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

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 study looks at whether realistic simulation training can help caregivers of children with tracheostomies (with or without home ventilators) handle emergencies better. About 60 caregivers will be split into two groups: one gets the simulation training, the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if training reduces hospital readmissions, ER visits, and phone calls to doctors.
