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 Results may not be published yet.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 tested whether a quick, non-invasive ultrasound of the stomach can accurately detect if a child has too much fluid in their stomach before anesthesia. 92 healthy children aged 1-10 drank a set amount of clear liquid, then had a 3-minute ultrasound. The goal was to see if the ultrasound could reliably identify a stomach fluid volume that might increase the risk of a rare but serious complication called pulmonary aspiration. The results could help anesthesiologists make safer decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
gastric ultrasound
What this could lead to
If this works, doctors could use a simple, non-invasive ultrasound to quickly check if a child's stomach is empty enough for safe anesthesia, reducing the risk of a rare but serious complication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study in healthy children, so results may not apply to all kids or those with medical conditions. The ultrasound method is still being tested and may not be accurate enough in real-world settings.
