Lateral Decubitus vs Supine Position on Postoperative Hypoxemia (NCT07545642)
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH registered clinical trial NCT07545642 on April 22, 2026, a prospective real-world study comparing lateral decubitus position (Group L) versus supine position (Group S) in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy/colonoscopy, to determine whether lateral positioning reduces the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia. The trial represents a simple, non-invasive, and low-cost optimization strategy under investigation for clinical practice. This is a study registration record only and does not constitute clinical guidance or regulatory approval.
“Using prospective real-world data, this study aims to determine whether the lateral decubitus position reduces the incidence of post-procedure hypoxemia in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy/colonoscopy, thereby providing a simple, non-invasive, and low-cost optimization strategy for clinical practice.”

What changed
NIH registered a new clinical trial (NCT07545642) on ClinicalTrials.gov examining whether lateral decubitus positioning during painless gastroscopy/colonoscopy reduces postoperative hypoxemia compared to standard supine positioning. The prospective real-world study includes two intervention arms: lateral decubitus position (Group L) and supine position (Group S). The study aims to provide evidence for a simple, non-invasive, low-cost clinical optimization strategy.
Healthcare institutions performing endoscopic procedures should be aware of this ongoing investigation, as positive findings could influence perioperative positioning protocols. Clinical investigators and research ethics committees may find the trial relevant to ongoing or planned studies in perioperative care and hypoxemia prevention.

Effect of Lateral Versus Supine Positions on Postoperative Hypoxemia
N/A NCT07545642 Kind: NA Apr 22, 2026
Abstract
Using prospective real-world data, this study aims to determine whether the lateral decubitus position reduces the incidence of post-procedure hypoxemia in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy/colonoscopy, thereby providing a simple, non-invasive, and low-cost optimization strategy for clinical practice.
Conditions: Postoperative Hypoxemia
Interventions: Lateral decubitus position group (Group L), Supine position group (Group S)
