Investigating oxygen levels during bronchoscopy procedures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate airway oxygen concentrations during rigid bronchoscopy procedures performed with high frequency jet ventilation. It focuses on patients with central airway obstruction who require thermal ablation treatments. The study will collect data on the concentration of oxygen in the airways during these procedures to better understand the risks associated with airway fire. The research is being conducted at the University of Minnesota, where patients undergoing the procedure will be monitored for oxygen levels.
