Which oxygen method keeps kids safer during endoscopy?
NCT ID NCT07234188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two oxygen delivery methods—a special mask and a high-flow nasal tube—in 30 children aged 6 to 16 during a stomach scope procedure. The goal was to see which method better prevents dangerously low oxygen levels. Results will help doctors choose the safest approach for kids undergoing sedation.
