Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Arm 1: High-flow nasal cannula (Optiflow® at 60L/min) versus conventional oxygen therapy (standard nasal cannula at 2L/min) for low-risk patients undergoing elective long (over 20 minutes) endoscopic procedures in an Australian tertiary hospital.
The high-flow nasal cannula, a device similar to the standard nasal prongs but which allows the delivery of high oxygen flows, will be used by the anaesthetist. This device consists of nasal tubes that are slightly larger in calibre and has the capability of delivering humidified oxygen. As per standard of practice, the device will be adapted to the nostrils and secured around the head prior to the sedation is commenced. As per standard of practice, supplementary oxygen is used throughout the whole endoscopic procedure and is maintained until the patient is fully recovered from sedation in the recovery room. The high flow will be maintained for the entire duration of the endoscopic procedure but can be brought down once the procedure has been finished and the patient sent to the recovery room, at the anaesthetist's discretion. The sedation and procedure data will be collected by one of the investigators or their delegates, in the room the endoscopic procedure is taking place.

0
Comparison of symptoms post-procedure, procedure- and sedation-related adverse events (e.g. dry mouth, headache).
Post procedure symptoms will be assessed through a visual analog scale questionnaire.
Procedure- and sedation-related adverse events (e.g. number of desaturation events, perforation, bleeding) will be assessed directly by the anaesthetist and endoscopist of the case and filled into a data collection sheet

Timepoint [2]

Assessed per patient, post-procedure, before discharge.
The vast majority of elective endoscopic procedures are discharged on the same day of the procedure, after the patient recovers from the sedation. The exact time a patient recovers from the sedation though is variable. In addition, other factors such as pain and sedation- and procedure-related adverse events can lead a patient to stay for a longer period of time.
Within these limitations, the plans are to assess sedation- and procedure-related adverse events during the procedure and populate the datasheet within one hour after the procedure had been finalised. The assessment of symptoms post-procedure is expected to take place at least 30 minutes after the patient has been sent to the recovery room and once he/she is able to maintain his/her eyes open spontaneously. The symptoms questionnaire is planned to be given to the patient within 6 hours after the procedure has been finalised.

Summary
Brief summary
Doctors currently examine the human gastrointestinal tract using a device called an endoscope, which contains a camera that enables the doctor to view and treat diseases from within the gastrointestinal tract. Most endoscopic procedures are done under sedation, what means that people are put asleep during such procedures by an Anaesthetist. During the examination, it is costumery that the patients' breathing capabilities become mildly impaired. For this reason, the Anaesthetists utilise supplementary oxygen to avoid the oxygen levels in your blood getting too low. Although we know that using some supplementary oxygen is better than using none, it is still under debate what is the ideal amount (or flow) of oxygen that should be used to avoid the loss of oxygenation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether two devices that deliver two different flows of oxygen (standard nasal cannula - 2 L/min or high-flow nasal cannula - 60L/min) are similar or different in preventing the loss of oxygenation while under sedation for long endoscopic procedures.
