Clinical Trial: Usefulness of High-flow Oxygen Therapy of Patients at Risk of Hypoxemia Undergoing Digestive Endoscopy Under Deep Sedation

U.S., Feb. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07439822) titled 'Usefulness of High-flow Oxygen Therapy of Patients at Risk of Hypoxemia Undergoing Digestive Endoscopy Under Deep Sedation' on Feb. 09.

Brief Summary: The study investigates the use of high-flow oxygen therapy devices in patients at higher risk of complications during sedated digestive endoscopies. Sedation controlled by the endoscopist improves patient tolerance and facilitates higher-quality procedures, but it can have side effects such as hypoxemia or respiratory depression, especially in patients with sleep apnea, obesity, lung diseases, those over 60 years old, or with a history of sedation complications. While preventive measu...
