Effects of anesthetic nasal masks on hypoxemia in overweight/obese patients undergoing gastroscopy: a randomized controlled trial
Nasal masks significantly reduce hypoxemia (with a 63% relative risk reduction) and the need for airway interventions during sedated gastroscopy in overweight/obese patients, without increasing adverse events. These findings support the use of nasal masks as an effective and safe airway management strategy for this patient population. Clinical trial registration number ChiCTR2100053388.
