Breathing device and oxygen for endoscopy in severe obesity
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose (high-flow nasal cannula) during a sedated bronchoscopy can prevent low oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in young children. It may help keep your child safer during the procedure and improve recovery.
