Breath-by-Breath monitoring may catch oxygen drops during sedated lung scans
NCT ID NCT05696860
First seen Sep 21, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing whether adding capnography, a device that measures exhaled carbon dioxide breath by breath, to standard monitoring helps keep patients safe during endobronchial ultrasound under sedation. The study includes 100 adults scheduled for this lung procedure. Half receive standard monitoring, and half receive standard monitoring plus capnography. The team compares how often oxygen levels drop below 90% and how often airway problems occur in each group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- capnography monitoring, a device that measures exhaled carbon dioxide breath by breath
- What this could lead to
- If capnography catches breathing problems earlier than standard monitoring, it could become a routine safety addition for sedated lung procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study of 100 people, so the results may not apply everywhere. Capnography adds equipment and alarms that could slow the procedure or distract the care team.
