New oxygen technique may reduce breathing problems during colonoscopy
NCT ID NCT07515755
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test three ways of giving oxygen to 280 adults during colonoscopy sedation: standard continuous flow, breath-synchronized pulses via the Sovant device, and CPAP. Researchers will track how often patients have breathing pauses or low oxygen levels. The goal is to find which method keeps patients safest during the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Breath-synchronized oxygen (Sovant device) and CPAP
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a safer way to give oxygen during colonoscopy sedation, reducing breathing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to other procedures or patient groups.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient * No life threatening conditions * Undergoing colonoscopy procedures and receiving procedural sedation at the University of Utah Health clinic in South Jordan, Utah. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability/refusal of subject to provide informed consent. * Less than 18 years of age. * Standard colonoscopy exclusion criteria used at the GI lab at the University of Utah. * Patients known or suspected to be pregnant. * Patients with an ASA physical status of IV (A patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life) or V (A moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation). * Patients known to have acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe COPD, or cardiovascular disease. * If their oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) is below 93% while breathing room air prior to the procedure. * Patients with severe medical condition(s) that in the view of the acting physician prohibits participation in the study.
