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.

- Active substance
- High-flow nasal cannula (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the best oxygen flow rate to prevent breathing problems during ERCP procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test long-term outcomes or cures.
