About this trial

High flow nasal cannula oxygenation (HFNC) offers high flow and concentration oxygen delivery, providing excellent non-respiratory oxygenation. As a relatively new oxygen delivery method, it has gained widespread use. We have demonstrated that high flow nasal cannula oxygenation reduce the incidence of hypoxia during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with American Anesthesiologist Rating (ASA rating) grades 1 to 2 and obesity. We hypothesized that HFNC could mitigate the risk of hypoxia in critical patients during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy. To confirm this, we selected critical patients with ASA grades 3 to 4 who were scheduled for gastrointestinal endoscopy. We observed and compared the incidence of hypoxia (75%≤SpO2 \< 90% and \< 60S), severe hypoxia (SpO2\<75% for any duration or 75%≤SpO2 \< 90%, ≥60s), subclinical respiratory depression (90%≤SpO2 \< 95%), respiratory-related adverse events, sedation-related adverse events, and complications associated with high flow nasal cannula oxygenation using HFNC or regular nasal cannula during the sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • High-flow nasal catheter oxygen

    Device

    Before induction of anesthesia, connect the Airvo2 (HFNC high flow device) special nasal cannula to inhale oxygen, and preoxygenate with an oxygen flow rate of 6L /min. After induction of anesthesia, adjust the oxygen flow rate to 60L /min, oxygen concentration 100%, oxygen temperature 37℃ until the end of gastrointestinal endoscopy.

  • regular nasal catheter oxygen

    Device

    Before anesthesia induction, a disposable nasal catheter oxygen inhalation device (covered by HFNC nasal catheter and blinded to the patient) was connected to an oxygen source for pre-oxygen inhalation, 6L/min. After induction of anesthesia, oxygen was continued for 6L/min until the end of gastroenteroscopy.
