Official title
The Efficacy of Distal Pharyngeal Airway in Enhancing Oxygenation During Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) in Patients Sedated With Propofol
Overview
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using the McMurray Enhanced Airway (MEA) which is a flexible extended-length distal pharyngeal airway on improving oxygen delivery compared to standard nasal cannula.
Interventions
- Device McMurray Enhanced Airway
The MEA is non-sterile. It can be used in inpatient or outpatient surgery, in hospital or clinic settings, or in an emergency setting. The MEA has five parts: an optional 15 mm connector, flange (color-coded for size), elongated cushioned bite block, flexible cannula, and distal tip, and a channel to allow for passage of air and a suction catheter. The MEA is designed to open and maintain a patient's upper airway. Oxygen will be delivered through the breathing circuit with the following paramete - Device Nasal Cannula
Participants in this group will use the nasal cannula to deliver oxygen as per standard of care one time during the in-person visit.
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence of hypoxia [Time frame: during procedure (up to 60 minutes)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Incidence of subclinical hypoxia [Time frame: during procedure (up to 60 minutes)]
- Incidence of severe Hypoxia [Time frame: during procedure (up to 60 minutes)]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age > or = 18 years old
- Patients willing to participate and provide an informed consent
- Patients scheduled to undergo an elective TEE procedure.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with history of uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Patients with anatomical airway obstruction
- Have any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the well-being of the patient or the study or prevent the patient from meeting or performing study requirements
