Comparing two breathing methods during throat and esophagus exams
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe while you are sedated for an endoscopy of your throat, voice box, and esophagus. It aims to find which method is safer and more comfortable for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for an endoscopy of the pharynx, larynx, or esophagus.
- You are in good enough health to be classified as ASA I to IV (your doctor will know).
- You do not need extra oxygen before the procedure.
- You are not allergic to any of the sedative or anesthetic drugs used (remifentanil, propofol, lidocaine).
- Your oxygen level is above 92% when you arrive for 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 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 trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery on your voice box or windpipe without using a breathing tube. One method uses gentle puffs of air, and the other delivers warm, humidified oxygen through small prongs in your nose.
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 study tests a special breathing tube (an oropharyngeal airway) used during a sedated GI endoscopy (a scope test of your stomach or bowel) to see if it helps keep oxygen levels normal while you are sedated. It may help prevent drops in oxygen during the procedure.
This trial compares two different ways of delivering oxygen through your nose during an endoscopy procedure (ERCP, which examines your bile ducts and pancreas). The study tests whether one method keeps your oxygen levels safer or more comfortable than the other.
