The primary objective of the study is to prospectively and randomly compare the incidence, duration, and severity of oxygen desaturation between a nasal mask with nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) versus oxygen therapy with a facemask during procedural deep sedation in patients considered high risk for hypoxia (ie: BMI ≥30 kg/m2 or documented Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Hypoxemia
Compare the percentage of time spent with oxygen saturation below 90%.
Time frame: Oxygen saturation below 90% for >15 seconds during procedure
Oxygen desaturation
Compare area under the curve of oxygen desaturation (AUCDesat), a metric which combines incidence, duration, and severity into a single measurement.
Time frame: Oxygen saturation below 90% for >15 seconds during procedure
Hypoxemic Episodes
Compare incidence, duration, and severity of oxygen desaturation (oxygen saturation below 90% for ≥15 seconds).
Time frame: Oxygen saturation below 90% for >15 seconds during procedure
Sedation
Compare the amount of propofol administered during induction and total dose administered for procedure.
Time frame: Total duration of procedure
Procedural Interruptions
Compare the incidence and duration of procedural interruptions (ie: number of times and length of time the surgery has to be stopped due to light sedation).
Time frame: Total duration of procedure
Airway maneuvers
Compare the incidence, duration, and reason for airway maneuvers.
Time frame: Total duration of procedure
Procedure Duration
Compare the length of time for the procedure (ie: length of time from procedure start to procedure end).
Time frame: Total duration of procedure

Recovery
Compare recovery times 1. Ready to discharge 2. Actual discharge
Time frame: Total duration of post procedure in PACU
Patient Satisfaction
Compare patient satisfaction scores (visual analog scale (VAS)) immediately after procedure 1. Overall experience 2. Quality of sedation
Time frame: Total duration of procedure and post procedure in PACU (scale: 0 to 10; 0 - poor, 10 - excellent)
Patient Tolerance
Compare patient tolerance to SuperNO2VA Et compared to control (ie: nasal cannula at 10LPM) immediately after procedure 1. Pain experienced during procedure 2. Pain after the procedure 3. Nausea after awakening 4. Vomiting after awakening 5. Dizziness after awakening 6. Recollection of scope insertion 7. Recollection of scope removal 8. Awake during the procedure 9. Could drive at discharge if permitted k. Would work at discharge if permitted
Time frame: Total duration of procedure and post procedure in PACU (scale: None, Mild, Moderate, Severe; multiple choice: Yes or No))
Surgeon Satisfaction
Compare surgeon satisfaction scores for 1. Overall experience 2. Rating of sedation 3. Difficulty of patient to sedate 4. Quality of the procedure
Time frame: Total duration of procedure
Anesthesiologist Satisfaction
Compare anesthesiologists satisfaction scores 1. Overall experience 2. Rating of sedation 3. Difficulty of patient to sedate
Time frame: Total duration of procedure
Cardiac Complications
Compare the incidence of cardiac complications
Time frame: Total duration of procedure and post procedure in PACU
