No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective, randomize, controlled trial will compared maximal to half-maximal suction pressure applied during water exchange in patients undergoing minimally sedated colonoscopy. We test the hypothesis that maximal suction pressure is more efficient and causes shorter insertion time.

Conditions

  • Minimally Sedated Patient Undergoing Colonoscopy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

half-maximal pressure

the pressure level of the suction unit (DF 601, Hanlien, Taipei, Taiwan) will be set at the half-maximal (-35 cm Hg).

PROCEDURE

maximal pressure

The pressure level of the suction unit (DF 601, Hanlien, Taipei, Taiwan) will be set at the maximal (-70 cm Hg).

DEVICE
