No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Colonoscopy completion by caecal intubation seldom represents a significant effort for the endoscopist. In this situation, additional techniques are necessary to achieve this goal: patients' manual abdominal compression, postural changes, and endoscopist relay. To date, no tool allows colonoscopy technical difficulty grading.

This study pursues to describe the frequency of additional techniques for caecal intubation in a large sample of Argentinians in different centres who undergo colonoscopy for attending purposes, to develop a novel score for assessing colonoscopy technical difficulty.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Diagnostic high-definition white-light (HDWL) colonoscopy

All participants will undergo to colonoscopy examination performed by competent/junior or expert/senior endoscopists (\>150-400 or \>400 previous colonoscopies, respectively). Bowel preparation was performed using different solutions, according to the clinical discretion of the attending, who indicated colonoscopy. After deep sedation by intravenous propofol with or without fentanyl or midazolam administration, a water-assisted colonoscopy was performed using a high-definition (HD) scope with white light (WL). Colonoscope trademark differs among participant centres.
