Summary

This study looks at whether a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen at high rates) can reduce the chance of dangerously low oxygen levels during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in critically ill patients. About 450 adults with serious health conditions (liver cirrhosis, colon polyps, or gut problems) will be randomly assigned to receive either standard oxygen or high-flow oxygen during their procedure. The goal is to see if the high-flow method leads to fewer breathing complications.
