Nasal CPAP - The Treatment IMpact on Oxygenation in High-risk Patients During Deep Sedation for Endoscopy

NAPTIME
Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Deep sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with cardiopulmonary risk factors such as respective co-morbidities or also morbid obesity is challenging. Those high-risk patients are at risk of upper airway obstruction and hypoxemia. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure may help to decrease the incidence of peri-interventional hypoxemia. However, data on nasal continuous positive airway pressure in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy are scarce; only one randomized trial on gastroscopy in obese patients is available (Kang et al. J Anesth 2021). In a very high-risk group, namely patients assessed for heart or lung transplantation in our hospital, the risk was especially high (unpublished data). Aim of this trial is the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure - compared to nasal oxygen insufflation - on the incidence of hypoxemia in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy in deep sedation. The investigators hypothesize that nasal continuous positive airway pressure - compared to nasal oxygen insufflation - reduces the incidence of hypoxemia in high-risk patients having gastrointestinal endoscopy in deep sedation.
