What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effect of using the McMurray Enhanced Airway MEA, a flexible extended-length distal pharyngeal airway, on improving oxygen delivery during transesophageal echocardiography TEE procedures compared to the standard nasal cannula. This study focuses on patients undergoing TEE while sedated with propofol and aims to assess oxygenation performance during the procedure. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive oxygen through the MEA device placed once in the oropharyngeal airway, delivering 40% oxygen at 6 liters per minute for up to 60 minutes during the TEE. The other group will receive oxygen via a standard nasal cannula during the same procedure time. Both devices are used during an in-person visit. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for the incidence of hypoxia, subclinical hypoxia, and severe hypoxia throughout the TEE procedure lasting up to 60 minutes. Participants will be assessed for oxygen levels and safety during the procedure. The total participation time corresponds to the duration of the TEE procedure with oxygen delivery and monitoring.
