NCT ID NCT07056075

First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a breathing mask (positive airway pressure) or extra carbon dioxide monitoring (capnometry) can reduce dangerous drops in oxygen levels during ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct problems. About 288 adults will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard care, extra monitoring, or breathing support. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost way to make sedation safer without needing a full anesthesia team.
