About this study
Official title: High-Flow Nasal Oxygenation Versus Standard Oxygenation in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy With Sedation. A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) versus standard oxygen therapy (nasal prongs, nasopharyngeal catheter or standard face mask) during gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy with sedation to reduce the incidence of hypoxia.
Read the detailed description
Hypoxemia is the most common complication during a gastrointestinal endoscopy with sedation. Oxygenation is usually applied during the procedure to prevent the occurrence of desaturation. Conventional oxygen is typically administered by conventional nasal cannula, by nasopharyngeal catheter or by a facemask with mild flow of oxygen. The flow of standard oxygen is limited to 15L/min.
High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation is a new method of humidified and heated oxygenation with a higher flow rates (up to 70L/min).
The primary outcome will be the incidence of hypoxia defined by pulsed saturation with oxygen (SpO2) ≤92%. The investigator's hypothesis is that high-flow nasal oxygen therapy will decrease the frequency of hypoxemia during gastrointestinal endoscopy under sedation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation group in people with Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Sedation, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 3 sites in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of hypoxia (time frame: Duration of GI endoscopy procedure under sedation, an expected average of 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03829293, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2020.
