RCT of Air Insufflation Versus Water Infusion Colonoscopy by Supervised Trainees

NCT00841282 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 62

Last updated 2009-02-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our aim is to perform a randomized-controlled trial comparing air insufflation sedated colonoscopy (conventional method) vs. water infusion sedated colonoscopy (study method) by supervised trainees. Randomized trials demonstrating reduced need for sedation medications without compromising patients' comfort, cecal intubation rates or polyps detection may cause a paradigm shift and positively alter the way traditional colonoscopy is performed and future endoscopists are trained.
