Quantitive And Qualitive Assessment Of The Oxygen Delivery And EtCO2 Sampling With The Smart Bite Block Mark III During An Upper Endoscopic Procedure Under Sedation

The study hypothesis is that a modified smart bite block system can deliver up to 10 liters/minute of supplemental oxygen orally with the CO2 monitoring performance substantially equivalent to the currently marketed smart bite block that delivers oxygen up to 5 liters/minute
