Oropharyngeal airway integrated with capnography and oxygenation for sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in obese patients: a randomised trial.
Endoscopy·August 16, 2026·PMID 42604636
Why it mattersObese patients are at high risk for sedation-induced upper airway obstruction and hypoxia during endoscopy. A device that simultaneously maintains airway patency, delivers oxygen, and monitors capnography could reduce respiratory complications in this vulnerable population.
