Is End Tidal CO2 Level Elevation During Upper Endoscopy With CO2 Gas Insufflation Physiologically Significant
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Air and Carbon Dioxide for Endoscopy. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
During the course of an endoscopic procedure, air has historically been used to inflate the lumen to provide adequate visualization and allow for the endoscope to advance as necessary. In many adult centers, carbon dioxide is used for insufflation for all procedures. Many pediatric centers have started using carbon dioxide for insufflation during endoscopy based on the adult studies. Few pediatric studies have been done. This study is designed to test whether carbon dioxide is associated with any negative, post-procedural, outcomes in pediatric patients.
