Monitoring breathing during painless GI scope
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if watching carbon dioxide levels in your breath can give an early warning of low oxygen during a painless stomach and colon exam. It aims to make these procedures safer by catching breathing problems quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a gastroscopy (stomach exam) and colonoscopy (colon exam) under anesthesia.
- You can wear a small device to sample your breath.
- Your blood oxygen level is 95% or higher when breathing room air.
- You have no known problems with your central nervous system (brain or spinal cord).
- You agree to take part in the study.
- Your bowel preparation is adequate (no poor prep).

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 trial tests whether giving extra oxygen through a nasal tube during a sedated GI scope (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) helps people with COPD breathe more easily. It may reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during the procedure.
This study tracks oxygen levels in adults after a sedated upper endoscopy (a scope down the throat to look at the stomach). It aims to understand how common low oxygen is during recovery and what factors might affect it.
This study tests whether changing the angle of your head and upper body during a sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to look at your stomach) helps keep your oxygen levels stable. Researchers want to find the safest position for patients during this common procedure.
This trial tests if the position you lie in before and during a painless scope procedure affects your oxygen levels. It aims to find the safest way to prevent low oxygen events.
This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
