Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Pragmatic Clinical Trial
High-flow versus standard nasal cannula in morbidly obese patients during colonoscopy: A prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Morbid obesity is associated with adverse airway events including desaturation during deep sedation. Prior works have suggested that proprietary high-flow nasal cannula devices generate positive pressure to all airway structures and may be superior to standard (low-flow) nasal cannula for prevention of desaturation. We hypothesized that, at a similar fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), use of a High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) at maximum flow rate would result in a lower incidence of intra-procedural desaturation episodes in morbidly obese patients compared to standard nasal cannula (SNC) during deep sedation with propofol. ⋯ At similar FiO2, HFNC was not significantly different from SNC for prevention of arterial oxygen desaturation in morbidly obese patients undergoing propofol sedation for colonoscopy.
