New oxygen tube aims to make lung scopes safer

NCT ID NCT07389083

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new way to give oxygen during a sedated lung scope (bronchoscopy). Normally, patients can have dangerously low oxygen levels because the scope and sedation block the airway. The new method uses a thin, flexible tube placed through the nose to deliver oxygen directly above the voice box. The trial will enroll 50 adults to see if this reduces low-oxygen events compared to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

wire-reinforced tracheal tube (device)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a safer, more effective way to deliver oxygen during bronchoscopy, reducing the risk of dangerously low oxygen levels.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage feasibility study with only 50 participants. The device may not work as hoped, or could cause discomfort or injury (e.g., nosebleeds).
