New breathing tube to prevent oxygen drops during painless colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new breathing tube placed in the throat during a painless colonoscopy to see if it can prevent drops in oxygen levels for older patients. It may help you stay safer during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 65 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a painless colonoscopy or stomach exam (both done together).
- You are in good health or only have mild medical issues that are under control.
- You do not have bleeding disorders, recent infections, or a fever.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not smoked or abused alcohol in the past 2 years, and you are not allergic to the sedative medicines used.
- You have not had major injuries or emergency surgery, and your oxygen level is normal before the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special breathing tube (an oropharyngeal airway) used during a sedated GI endoscopy (a scope test of your stomach or bowel) to see if it helps keep oxygen levels normal while you are sedated. It may help prevent drops in oxygen during the procedure.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This trial tests a special breathing tube to see if it can prevent low oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy in people with obesity. If you are scheduled for both an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, this study may help make the procedure safer.
This trial tests a special mouth-and-throat device designed to help you breathe easier during a routine endoscopy or colonoscopy. If you are a generally healthy adult scheduled for one of these procedures, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two ways of giving extra oxygen before and during a painless endoscopy (a procedure to look inside your stomach or colon). The goal is to see which position reduces the risk of your blood oxygen levels dropping too low during the procedure. This could help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
This trial tests whether a breathing tube placed in the nose (nasopharyngeal airway) combined with high-flow oxygen can improve safety during painless gastroscopy in people with obesity. It may help you breathe better while sedated.
