Using a new airway device to improve oxygen delivery during TEE 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 study investigates the effectiveness of the McMurray Enhanced Airway (MEA), a flexible distal pharyngeal airway, in enhancing oxygen delivery compared to the standard nasal cannula during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) procedures. Patients aged 18 and older who are scheduled for elective TEE will be enrolled, and their oxygenation levels will be monitored to assess the performance of the MEA. The study aims to provide insights into whether this new airway device can offer better outcomes for patients experiencing airway obstruction.
