HYPOXEMIA

This study tested two different oxygen goals in 122 people hospitalized with acute heart failure and fluid in their lungs. One group aimed for 96% oxygen in the blood, the other for 90%. The goal was to see which oxygen level better reduces lung fluid and helps recovery. The stud…

This study tested two sedatives, dexmedetomidine and propofol, in 100 high-risk patients undergoing ERCP, a procedure that requires deep sedation. The goal was to see which drug causes fewer breathing and heart-related side effects. Results could help doctors choose safer sedatio…

This study tested whether giving high-flow oxygen through the nose during a sedated ERCP procedure can prevent low oxygen levels better than standard low-flow oxygen. One hundred adults and older patients took part. The goal was to see which method keeps oxygen levels safer and r…

This study looked at whether a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) can reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in people at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea. The trial involved 80 adults …

This study tested whether a special monitor (IPI) could help prevent dangerous drops in oxygen levels during a procedure called ERCP, where patients are sedated. 80 adults took part, and the monitor helped doctors detect breathing problems early. The goal was to make the procedur…

This study tested whether a special oxygen mask that covers both the mouth and nose works better than the usual nasal prongs for preventing low oxygen levels in children during an upper GI endoscopy (a scope down the throat to look at the stomach). The trial included 114 children…

This study compared two ways to sedate children during MRI scans: one using a gas (sevoflurane) and the other using a combination of two medicines given through a vein (propofol and ketamine). The goal was to see which method helps children recover faster and with fewer side effe…

This study tested whether a special oxygen mask works better than the usual nasal tube for preventing low oxygen levels in people undergoing ERCP, a procedure that examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. 150 adults aged 18-75 took part. The goal was to see which method reduces th…

This study tested whether a nasal mask is better than a standard nasal cannula for delivering oxygen during gastrointestinal endoscopy (like colonoscopy) under propofol sedation. 600 adults were randomly assigned to one of the two oxygen methods. The main goal was to see which me…

This study looked at how different oxygen level goals and different oximeters (the clip-on devices that measure blood oxygen) affect the amount of oxygen given to patients. Researchers studied 40 adults with COPD or other breathing problems like pneumonia. They wanted to see if t…

This study looked at 119 adults to find out whether using 100% oxygen or 50% oxygen during breathing tube removal after general anesthesia leads to fewer drops in blood oxygen levels. The goal is to improve safety and reduce complications like low oxygen or collapsed lungs. The r…

This study looked at 165 trauma patients to see how often they had low blood oxygen (hypoxemia) during their first 24 hours in the hospital. Researchers used a special finger clip to track oxygen levels continuously. They wanted to find out if low oxygen episodes happen more ofte…

This study looked at how short periods of low oxygen (from repeated breath-holding) affect blood sugar levels during a glucose test. Twenty healthy adults, people with prediabetes, and those with type 2 diabetes took part. The goal was to understand the body's response, not to tr…

This study looked at whether having too much or too little oxygen after heart surgery raises the chance of delirium (sudden confusion). Researchers followed 1000 patients in the ICU after cardiac surgery. The goal was to understand how oxygen levels impact recovery and brain func…

This study looked at 152 ICU patients who needed extra oxygen. Researchers compared oxygen levels from a simple finger clip (pulse oximeter) with a more detailed blood test. The goal was to see how well the two methods agree, helping doctors know if the finger clip is reliable en…

This study looked at 222 adults having a sedated stomach exam (gastroscopy) to see if a special oxygen method called THRIVE works better than a standard nasal tube for preventing low oxygen levels. The goal was to find out which approach keeps oxygen levels safer during the proce…

This study looked at whether doctors followed guidelines to screen COVID-19 patients for hepatitis B before giving them steroids. Researchers tracked 1793 hospitalized adults to see if the virus reactivated. The goal was to understand risks and improve safety in a country with lo…
