Sleeping head position during sedated endoscopy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a painless gastrointestinal endoscopy (sedated)
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- You have a physical status I to III according to the ASA classification (generally healthy to mild or moderate disease)
- Your oxygen level at rest (before the procedure) is 95% or higher
- This is not an emergency procedure, and you have had adequate bowel preparation

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at why some people may develop low blood pressure or low oxygen levels while sedated with propofol during a routine endoscopy. It aims to help doctors better identify who might be at risk, so they can plan safer sedation.
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.
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 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 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.
