HFNO Flow Rates and Cerebral Oxygenation During Deep Sedation for Cystoscopy
Sponsor: Firat University
Summary
For Patients and Families This study aims to investigate how high-flow oxygen therapy affects oxygen levels, especially brain oxygenation, during cystoscopy procedures performed under sedation. The goal is to improve patient safety and comfort by ensuring better oxygen delivery during the procedure. Different oxygen flow rates will be compared, while patients' breathing, oxygen levels, and vital signs are continuously monitored throughout the procedure. All methods used in the study are consistent with routine anesthesia practices, and patient safety remains the highest priority. For Healthcare Professionals This prospective randomized controlled study evaluates the effects of different high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) flow rates on cerebral oxygenation, peripheral oxygenation, and ventilation parameters in patients undergoing cystoscopy under procedural sedation. The primary aim is to determine the contribution of HFNO to sedation safety and to provide clinical evidence regarding the optimal flow rate. In addition, hypoxemia incidence, airway intervention requirements, hemodynamic variables, and sedation depth are being analyzed.

Interventions
High-Flow Nasal Oxygen 40 L/min (HF40)
Participants receive high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy delivered through the OptiFlow™ system at a flow rate of 40 L/min with 100% heated and humidified oxygen during procedural sedation for cystoscopy. Sedation is achieved using midazolam, remifentanil, and propofol.
High-Flow Nasal Oxygen 55 L/min (HF55)
Participants receive HFNO therapy via the OptiFlow™ system at a flow rate of 55 L/min with 100% heated and humidified oxygen during procedural sedation for cystoscopy, together with the same standardized sedation protocol.
High-Flow Nasal Oxygen 70 L/min (HF70)
Participants receive HFNO therapy via the OptiFlow™ system at a flow rate of 70 L/min with 100% heated and humidified oxygen during procedural sedation for cystoscopy, together with the same standardized sedation protocol.
