Can a better oxygen mask prevent breathing dips during ERCP?
NCT ID NCT04184089
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether using a high-flow nasal cannula at different flow rates (15, 30, or 60 liters per minute) could prevent oxygen levels from dropping during ERCP, a procedure to examine the bile ducts. Sixty adults undergoing deep sedation were randomly assigned to one of three flow rates or standard oxygen therapy. The main goal was to see how often oxygen desaturation occurred, along with checking snoring and satisfaction scores.
