EGD-assisted Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy

NCT01563744 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 82

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Adequate bowel preparation is of critical importance for colonoscopy. Particularly among hospitalized patients, inadequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy may arise due to patient intolerance to prescribed laxative regimen, elderly population, and co-existing conditions that impair the ability to ingest a large-volume laxative regimen. Improvements in bowel preparation for colonoscopy in hospitalized patients would likely improve patient care and reduce hospital costs. The purpose of this study is to determine if administering a portion of the bowel purgative via EGD could improve colonoscopy preparation in hospitalized patients.
