High-flow oxygen during endoscopy for copd patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of COPD.
- You are scheduled for an elective gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or combined procedure (expected to last 45 minutes or less).
- You do not have conditions that make high-flow oxygen unsafe, such as a recent skull or nasal fracture, a collapsed lung, or air in the chest cavity.
- You have no planned breathing tube insertion for the procedure, and you do not already have a tracheostomy (tube in your throat).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no known allergy to sedatives like propofol.
- You are not currently taking part in another interventional clinical trial.

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 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.
This trial tests a special breathing tube to see if it can prevent low oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy in people with obesity. If you are scheduled for both an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, this study may help make the procedure safer.
This trial tests a special mouth-and-throat device designed to help you breathe easier during a routine endoscopy or colonoscopy. If you are a generally healthy adult scheduled for one of these procedures, you may be able to join.
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 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.
