Wei Nasal Jet Tube vs Nasal Cannula Oxygen Support in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Patients

Sedoanalgesia is applied to patients during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Sedoanalgesia may cause respiratory depression and hypoxia in patients. During these procedures, patients should be given oxygen support to reduce the incidence of hypoxia.This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway devices (Wei Nasal Jet Tube vs Nasal Cannula Oxygen Support) in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed as standard for the diagnosis of many gastrointestinal diseases. During gastrointestinal endoscopy, sedoanalgesia is applied to relieve patients' pain and increase patient comfort. Anesthetic drugs used for sedoanalgesia may cause respiratory depression and hypoxia in patients. Hypoxia resulting from hypoventilation in patients is responsible for many events, including coronary ischemia. During these procedures, patients should be given oxygen support to reduce the incidence of hypoxia. The purpose of this procedure is to provide safe oxygenation and ventilation. While providing oxygen support, nasal cannula, classical oxygen mask can be used, as well as new generation oxygenation devices. Our study will show us which method is more beneficial in preventing hypoxia and other side effects, providing comfort for the doctor performing the procedure and for the patient undergoing the procedure.
