HFNC Versus Microstream Advance Nasal Cannula for Oxygenation During ERCP
74 participantsStarted 2026-06-29
Plain-language summary
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures are commonly performed under deep sedation and are associated with a risk of hypoxemia, particularly in prone or semi-prone positions. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy may improve oxygenation by delivering heated and humidified oxygen at high flow rates, while the Microstream Advance nasal cannula provides simultaneous nasal oxygen delivery and oral oxygen insufflation.
This prospective randomized study aims to compare the effectiveness of HFNC and Microstream Advance nasal cannula in maintaining oxygenation during ERCP procedures. Patients undergoing ERCP will be randomized into two groups receiving either HFNC or Microstream Advance nasal cannula oxygen support during sedation.
The primary outcomes are the incidence of desaturation and oxygen reserve index (ORi) measurements during the procedure. Secondary outcomes include time to achieve target ORi levels, respiratory complications, and procedure-related adverse events.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
