Comparison of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to Air Insufflation in Colonoscopy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

NCT03282786 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 304

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently undergo endoscopic examination and may suffer from diagnostic procedures. Independent from IBD patients, colonoscopy is usually performed using air insufflation, however recent data indicates a superior role of carbon dioxide (CO2) as an insufflation gas during colonoscopy. Using CO2 leads to a lower degree of patient's discomfort. The role of CO2 as an insufflation gas for colonoscopy in IBD patients remains undetermined, wherefore this study aims to address this issue.
