Oxygen flow and CO2 levels during sedation
This study looks at how different oxygen flow rates affect carbon dioxide levels in women having short gynecological procedures under deep sedation. It aims to find the safest oxygen setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are in good general health (ASA 1 or 2).
- You are having a minor gynecological procedure that lasts less than 30 minutes, such as a D&C, biopsy, or hysteroscopy.
- Your BMI is 35 or lower.
- You do not have any condition that prevents using a laryngeal mask airway (a breathing tube placed in the throat).

This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
This study tests whether your body position during recovery from sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to examine your stomach and colon) affects your oxygen levels. The researchers want to find the best recovery position to keep your oxygen levels stable and safe.
This trial tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNC) reduces low oxygen levels during sedated gastrointestinal procedures. It is for patients with higher health risks (ASA grade III–IV) who need an endoscopy or treatment.
This study looks at how supplemental oxygen affects oxygen levels in your blood during a colonoscopy with sedation. Researchers want to understand if giving extra oxygen helps prevent drops in blood oxygen that can happen during the procedure.
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.
