Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of delivering continuous negative external pressure (cNEP) to the upper airway as a means of preventing episodes of respiratory impairment (RI) such as hypoxemia, apnea and hypoventilation associated with the use of intravenous sedation in elective colonoscopy in adult patients.
