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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how well air and blood mix in the lungs of 10 adults on a heart-lung bypass machine (VA ECMO). Researchers will adjust the breathing machine settings using special monitoring tools to see if they can improve oxygen levels. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new drug or treatment.

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 point toward better ventilator settings for patients on heart-lung bypass, potentially improving oxygen delivery and lung recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants. It is not designed to prove a treatment works, only to gather measurements. Results may not apply to all patients.

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

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 10 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥18 years) undergoing mechanical ventilation during peripheral VA ECMO support for cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, or refractory heart failure. * On ECMO support for at least 6 hours * Swan-Ganz catheter required as standard clinical care * Clinically stable in the estimation of the study investigator Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to EIT (e.g., presence of electrical interference) * Patients without pulmonary flow (non-pulsatile pulmonary pressure) * Patients with known pulmonary embolism * Imminent withdrawal of life support
