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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at whether doctors retain an emergency airway procedure (called FONA) equally well after training on a low-cost self-made model versus a commercial one. 44 resident physicians were trained and then tested 3-4 months later. The goal is to see if cheaper models can be used without losing skill.

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 show that low-cost, homemade training models are just as effective as expensive commercial ones for teaching emergency airway skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures skill retention after a few months, not actual patient outcomes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
