Clinical effects of the use of a novel oropharyngeal airway in painless gastroscopy in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome: a randomised controlled trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder characterised by partial or complete obstruction of the upper respiratory tract. Owing to their relevant physiological anatomy, patients with OSAHS often experience severe respiratory complications, such as airway obstruction and hypoxaemia, during painless gastroscopy. In addition, the use of the shared airway approach increases the difficulty of airway management. At present, simple and effective tools for airway management for use during gastroscopy in clinical practice are lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether a novel oropharyngeal airway designed for use in endoscopy can effectively relieve airway obstruction and prevent hypoxaemia.
