From: Efficacy and safety of remimazolam tosylate for sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial

SpO2 before the procedure (no oxygen)

 

Lowest SpO2 during the procedure

 

Is SpO2 <90% during the procedure?

Yes â–¡ Noâ–¡

Duration of SpO2 <90%

 

Did oxygen flow increase during the procedure?

Yes â–¡ No â–¡

Is the patient's mandible lifted?

Yes â–¡ Noâ–¡

Is mask ventilation required?

Yesâ–¡ Noâ–¡

 

Is endotracheal intubation performed?

Yes â–¡ No â–¡

  1. Treatment of respiratory-related adverse events: When SpO2 is <95%, the participant will be lifted to the mandible. If SpO2 is <90%, the oxygen flow of the nasal catheter will be increased to 6L/min. If SpO2 is still <90%, the procedure will be stopped, the upper gastrointestinal endoscope will be pulled out, and positive pressure ventilation will be performed using a mask. If SpO2 cannot be corrected, laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation will be performed to control breathing
