High-flow oxygenation therapy for a sedated elderly frail patient with hiccups undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be performed under sedation, but body movements may lower the efficacy of the procedure and may increase the risk of complications, such as cardiac tamponade. Additional sedatives and analgesics may be required to prevent body movements; this would increase the risk of upper airway obstruction and of respiratory depression. We report a frail patient with hypoxemia and hiccups, in whom high-flow nasal oxygenation facilitated TAVI by effectively inhibiting body movements and respiratory complications. CASE PRESENTATION: In an 82-year-old patient with severe aortic stenosis, heart failure, hypoxemia, and hiccups, TAVI was planned under sedation with dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and ketamine. High-flow nasal oxygenation effectively prevented hiccups and associated body movements, and prevented upper airway obstruction and respiratory depression, during TAVI.
conclusionsHigh-flow nasal oxygenation therapy is potentially useful during cardiac catheterization procedure under monitored anesthesia care, in elderly frail patients with reduced cardiopulmonary function.
