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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether continuously monitoring the pressure in the breathing tube cuff (using a ventilator system) could reduce pneumonia compared to manual checks every 8 hours. It involved 40 ICU patients with severe head injury who needed a breathing machine. The goal was to see if the continuous method leads to fewer lung infections.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
continuous cuff pressure monitoring (procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous cuff pressure monitoring reduces pneumonia in ventilated ICU patients, leading to better care practices.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The approach is procedural, not a drug or cure.
