This study is looking at whether using a special type of oxygen delivery, called a high-flow nasal cannula (Vapotherm), during an EBUS bronchoscopy (a procedure to look at your airways and lungs) can make the procedure smoother. You would receive monitored anesthesia care (MAC), which is a type of sedation. Researchers want to see if the Vapotherm, compared to a regular nasal cannula, leads to fewer interruptions because of low oxygen levels, shorter times with low oxygen, and shorter overall procedure times. This study is for adults over 18 who are having an EBUS bronchoscopy with moderate sedation. You cannot join if you've had previous nasal surgeries, have very low oxygen levels before the procedure, are pregnant, have facial injuries, or are on certain blood thinners.
