ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether using a special type of oxygen delivery called High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) can help prevent low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in patients with a high risk of sleep apnea during sedated gastrointestinal procedures, like endoscopy. Sleep apnea is a condition that can make it harder to breathe, especially when sedated, and this study focuses on patients who score 5 or higher on a common sleep apnea screening test called STOP-BANG, meaning they are more likely to have breathing problems during the procedure.

The study is looking for adults between 65 and 74 years old who are undergoing sedated endoscopy and are considered high risk for sleep apnea. Participants can expect to receive oxygen through the HFNC during their procedure to see if it helps keep their oxygen levels stable. This research is important because preventing low oxygen during sedation can make these procedures safer for people with sleep apnea. The study is not yet recruiting, but it welcomes men and women who meet the criteria.
