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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compared two ultrasound-based methods—USCOM and echocardiography—for measuring heart function in 57 children aged 6 months to 15 years during general anesthesia. The goal was to see if the simpler USCOM device could reliably replace standard echocardiography. Researchers measured blood flow and heart output under stable conditions before surgery. Results will help determine if USCOM is a practical alternative for monitoring children during operations.

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 USCOM is a reliable, non-invasive way to monitor heart function in children during surgery, potentially reducing the need for more complex echocardiography.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational pilot study with only 57 children. It does not test a treatment or change outcomes, so results may not apply broadly or lead to immediate clinical changes.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Pediatric patients aged 6 months to 15 years with ASA physical status I-II who are scheduled for elective surgery requiring general anesthesia. All participants undergo noninvasive suprasternal Doppler and transthoracic echocardiography measurements under standardized anesthetic conditions before surgical incision.
