High-flow oxygen for low oxygen levels during children's bronchoscopy
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 6 years old and weigh at least 10 kg (about 22 pounds).
- Your child must be scheduled for a bronchoscopy (a procedure to look inside the lungs) while sedated, expected to take no longer than 45 minutes.
- Your child's oxygen level must be at or above 95% on room air (breathing normally without extra oxygen) before the procedure.
- Your child must not have any known airway abnormalities (like structural issues in the nose or throat), a history of difficult airway, or a collapsed lung.
- Your child must not have problems with bleeding or a tendency to bleed easily from the nose or mouth.
- Your child must not have severe heart, kidney, or liver impairment, or other serious medical conditions that could make the trial unsafe. Also, cannot be allergic to the sedatives propofol or sufentanil.

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 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 compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow nasal oxygen vs a face mask) to see which one keeps brain oxygen levels more stable during procedures done with sedation. If you are having a planned procedure with sedation in a non-operating room setting, this trial might help improve your safety.
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.
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 looks at how well a special oxygen-delivery device (high-flow nasal cannula) works for children having a scope test of their airway. It aims to find the best oxygen flow rate to keep children safe and breathing well during the procedure.
