Breathing monitor to prevent low oxygen during sedated endoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor your breathing during a sedated endoscopy. A small device measures the carbon dioxide in your breath, which may help doctors catch low oxygen early and prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a gastroscopy (stomach test) or colonoscopy (large bowel test) under sedation.
- You must be able to wear a small device that measures the carbon dioxide you breathe out.
- Your blood oxygen level when breathing normal room air should be 95% or above.
- You should not have any major brain or nervous system disorder.
- You need to be willing to take part in the study.
- Your bowel preparation must be adequate (clean colon for the test).

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 study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how common low oxygen levels are after a sedated upper endoscopy (a scope test). If you participate, you will be monitored in the recovery area to see if your oxygen dips, which can help improve care.
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 whether the angle of your head while you are sedated for a gastrointestinal endoscopy affects your oxygen levels. It may help reduce breathing problems during the procedure.
