Clinical Trial: Effect of High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation on the Incidence of Hypoxemia During Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Patients at High Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in High-altitude Regions

U.S., Oct. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07904260) titled 'Effect of High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation on the Incidence of Hypoxemia During Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Patients at High Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in High-altitude Regions' on Oct. 24.

Brief Summary: Patients living in high-altitude areas naturally have lower blood oxygen levels. Those at high risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) face an even greater risk of low oxygen during painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. This multicenter study will randomly assign these patients to receive either High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNC) or standard oxygen therapy during their procedure, aiming to find out if HFNC can...
