Conditions

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Obesity

Keywords

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, total IV anesthesia, obesity, colonoscopy, Nasal cpap

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to to compare oxygenation and ventilation on spontaneously ventilating obese patients or those with diagnosed or undiagnosed Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing day colonoscopy under Propofol based sedation, between the SuperNO2VA Et™ nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) device and routine care with face mask for oxygen (O2).

Interventions

DEVICEStandard care with a facemask.

The anesthesia provider will supply oxygen via the closed facemask at 10 liters per minute (LPM)

DEVICESuperNO2VA™EtCO2 (Nasal Oxygenating Ventilating Apparatus)

The anesthesia provider will attach the SuperNO2VA™ EtCO2 circuit port to the hyperinflation bag with the oxygen flow rate to 10 L/min. The oxygenation, continuous positive airway pressure, and ventilation of the subject will be done via SuperNO2VA™EtCO2 (Nasal Oxygenating Ventilating Apparatus)
