NCT ID NCT07086378
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special bite block that delivers oxygen during an upper endoscopy, a procedure where a camera tube goes down the throat. The device aims to keep oxygen levels stable and make the procedure safer and more comfortable. Ten obese adults participated to see if the device worked well and was easy to tolerate.
