First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a nasal mask or a standard nasal cannula is better at preventing low oxygen levels during gastrointestinal endoscopy. 600 adults were randomly assigned to receive oxygen through one of the two devices while sedated with propofol. The goal was to see which method reduces hypoxemia (oxygen saturation dropping to 90% or below).
