Supraglottic Jet Oxygenation and Ventilation to Minimize Hypoxia in Patients Receiving Flexible Bronchoscopy Under Deep Sedation: A 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial

Anesth AnalgPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

SJOV via WNJ effectively reduces the incidence of hypoxia during FB under deep sedation.

Study context

Population
Adults scheduled for flexible bronchoscopy under deep sedationall analysed by ITT
Participants
132 adults
Comparison
Nasal catheter (NC) vs low-pressure low-flow (LPLF) vs supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV)

  • SJOVn = 44
Primary endpoint
Hypoxia (SpO2 <90% lasting more than 5 seconds)
Follow-up
During FB
