Simple sleep tests may predict endoscopy dangers
NCT ID NCT03436381
Summary
This study aimed to see if being overweight and having signs of sleep apnea could predict who might have breathing or sedation problems during a routine endoscopy. Researchers followed 350 overweight adults getting an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy, giving them two short sleep questionnaires. The goal was to learn if these easy tools could help doctors spot patients at higher risk for complications before the procedure.
