Nasal airway and oxygen for stomach scope in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 study compares two ways of giving oxygen during surgery to people with higher body weight. It aims to see which method keeps oxygen levels safe for a longer time while the breathing tube is being placed.
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 a special oxygen mask that fits inside the nose for people who breathe through their mouth after surgery. It may help you get enough oxygen while you recover in the post-anesthesia care unit.
