High-flow oxygen for emergency surgery patients with full stomachs
This trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need emergency surgery and are at risk of having a full stomach.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your health is generally good (classified as ASA I or II).
- Your mouth and throat anatomy is normal (Mallampati class I or II).
- You do not have a known difficult airway or facial deformities.
- You do not have a respiratory disease, are not pregnant, and are not allergic to anesthesia drugs.

This study compares two ways of giving oxygen during a sedated gastroscopy for people with visceral obesity (extra belly fat). One method uses a high-flow nasal cannula, the other a face mask. The goal is to see which keeps oxygen levels more stable.
This trial tests whether using a special high-flow oxygen mask (called a high-flow nasal cannula) right after major abdominal surgery helps prevent lung problems. It might make your recovery smoother by giving you extra oxygen through small tubes in your nose.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a heart surgery that uses small chest cuts. One method is a face mask, the other is a high-flow nasal tube. The study will see which keeps your oxygen levels better while you are awake but relaxed.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through a special nasal tube (high-flow nasal cannula) helps patients with COPD breathe more safely during a sedated endoscopy procedure, compared to usual oxygen delivery. It aims to reduce breathing problems during the procedure and improve overall safety.
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.
