Bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation in patients susceptible to hypoxemia during procedural sedation for colonoscopy: A prospective randomized controlled study
Hypoxemia is one of the most common adverse events during colonoscopy, particularly among patients who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or are overweight. Consequently, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) ventilation for patients with high risk hypoxemia during colonoscopy with sedation.
