Airway support during ECT in obese patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help obese patients breathe during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is a treatment for certain mental health conditions. It uses either a laryngeal mask airway (a soft tube placed in the throat) or high-flow nasal oxygen (oxygen through the nose). The goal is to see which method keeps oxygen levels safer during the procedure.

This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
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 tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
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 looks at whether using high-flow oxygen through the nose during a specific lung procedure (EBUS bronchoscopy) is safe and works well while you receive monitored sedation. If you qualify, it may help improve how breathing is supported 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.
