New airway device for safer sedation in elderly patients
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of breathing tube used during routine stomach and colon exams with sedation. It aims to prevent drops in oxygen levels in patients aged 65-80.

This trial is testing a new device to help keep your airway open during painless upper and lower endoscopy. It may be helpful for people who are already healthy enough for routine sedation.
This trial tests a new way to manage the airway (the breathing tube) in people with obesity who are having a painless stomach and colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new approach improves safety and comfort during the procedure.
This study tests a special airway device designed to keep your oxygen levels stable during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy (a procedure to look inside your stomach or intestines while you're lightly sedated). The device may help prevent breathing problems that can happen during this type of procedure.
This trial tests a new breathing tube (oropharyngeal airway) for people with sleep apnea who are having painless stomach and colon exams. The goal is to see if it helps keep their airway open and oxygen levels safe during the procedure.
This trial tests a new breathing device (called a combo endoscopy oropharyngeal airway) to help keep your airway open during a sedated ERCP procedure. It may improve safety and comfort for people having this exam.
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.
