Clinical Trial: High-Flow Nasal Cannula for Preventing Hypoxia During Sedated Endoscopy in High-Risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients: A Multicenter Randomized Trial

U.S., Dec. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07307560) titled 'High-Flow Nasal Cannula for Preventing Hypoxia During Sedated Endoscopy in High-Risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients: A Multicenter Randomized Trial' on Dec. 14.

Brief Summary: Hypoxia represents the most frequent adverse event during propofol-sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy. The STOP-BANG questionnaire serves as a widely adopted, straightforward tool for screening obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, with a score >=5 identifying high-risk OSA patients who are particularly susceptible to hypoxia under sedation. Although preliminary research from our team suggests that High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) may lower the incidence of hypo...
