Effect of oxygen positioning on low oxygen levels during painless endoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving extra oxygen before and during a painless endoscopy (a procedure to look inside your stomach or colon). The goal is to see which position reduces the risk of your blood oxygen levels dropping too low during the procedure. This could help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your weight must be within a certain range (body mass index between 18.5 and 35).
- You are scheduled for a painless upper endoscopy (gastroscopy), colonoscopy, or both.
- You must be able to lie in the required position during the procedure.
- You must not have severe heart or lung disease, severe sleep apnea, spinal or chest deformities, or low oxygen levels at rest.
- You must not be allergic to the anesthetics used, and if you are a woman, you must not be pregnant.

This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy can prevent low oxygen levels in patients at risk during a digestive endoscopy with deep sedation. It might help if you have obesity, stable lung or heart disease, or sleep apnea.
This study tests whether lying on your side versus on your back helps maintain better oxygen levels during and after a stomach/intestine viewing procedure. The trial includes patients with lung conditions to see what works best for different people.
This study tests whether your body position during recovery from sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to examine your stomach and colon) affects your oxygen levels. The researchers want to find the best recovery position to keep your oxygen levels stable and safe.
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 whether changing your body position after surgery helps improve oxygen levels in your blood and prevents low oxygen. If you qualify, participating may help doctors find better ways to keep patients safe during recovery.
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.
