Summary

The purpose of this study is to to compare oxygenation and ventilation on spontaneously ventilating obese patients or those with diagnosed or undiagnosed Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing day colonoscopy under Propofol based sedation, between the SuperNO2VA Et™ nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) device and routine care with face mask for oxygen (O2).
