Breathing tube safety during endoscopy in people with obesity
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 28 or higher (obese level).
- You are in generally good health (ASA class I or II).
- You are having both an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy together, lasting less than 45 minutes.
- You do not have serious lung, heart, kidney, or liver disease, an active infection, or a bleeding disorder.

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 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.
This study tests if high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent oxygen drops during sedated endoscopy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people who are at higher risk of breathing problems during the procedure.
This trial tests whether giving extra oxygen through a nasal tube during a sedated GI scope (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) helps people with COPD breathe more easily. It may reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during the procedure.
This study tests a special breathing device (a tube placed in the throat) combined with high-flow oxygen through the nose during sedation for endoscopy in people with severe obesity. It aims to see if this combination helps keep oxygen levels stable and makes the procedure safer.
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.
