Abstract
Background: The use of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has the potential to improve patient safety by limiting hypoxaemia during gastrointestinal endoscopy. The degree of benefit is not adequately established. Methods: trial sequence analysis were performed. Results: 21%) than COT. A high level of heterogeneity between the studies precluded confidence in drawing inference from the meta-analysis. Conclusions: The evidence reviewed suggests that compared with COT, HFNO has fewer hypoxaemic events during gastrointestinal endoscopy, but this may not apply to all patients and clinical scenarios.
