What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

  • Procedures mentioned: Ultrasound

Show the study's own words
  • "Our objective is to assess whether the use of high flow nasal cannula (Vapotherm, Exeter, NH) with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) during an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy procedure will lead to less procedure interruptions, less hypoxic episodes, shorter duration of hypoxic episodes and shorter procedural durations when compared to regular MAC using a regular nasal canula."
  • "EBUS is a technique that uses ultrasound along with bronchoscopy to visualize the airway wall and structures adjacent to it."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This study compares high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose with regular oxygen tubes during EBUS bronchoscopy, a test that uses a scope and ultrasound to look inside the airways. It checks whether high-flow oxygen leads to fewer pauses, fewer and shorter drops in oxygen levels, and a shorter test. It is for adults over 18 who receive medicine to relax them during the test.

Our objective is to assess whether the use of high flow nasal cannula (Vapotherm, Exeter, NH) with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) during an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy procedure will lead to less procedure interruptions, less hypoxic episodes, shorter duration of hypoxic episodes and shorter procedural durations when compared to regular MAC using a regular nasal canula.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • You are older than 18.
  • You are having EBUS bronchoscopy with moderate conscious sedation, medicine that relaxes you while you stay awake.

Who can't join

  • You have had nose surgery.
  • Your blood oxygen level is below 90% while breathing room air before the test.
  • You are pregnant.
  • You have known broken bones in your face or a recent face injury.
  • You take blood-thinning medicine that cannot be stopped before the test.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
