Failed Conscious Sedation During Procedure Clinical Trial
Magnetic Endoscope Imaging (MEI) is an optional tool which can be switched on at the
beginning of colonoscopy. MEI works by creating an electromagnetic field of very low
intensity. By that the position of the endoscope can be displayed virtually on a monitor.
The use of MEI has been shown to reduce the formation of loops and to ease the removal of
existing loops during the investigation. Furthermore, as loops favour the occurrence of pain
when the scope is moved forward, patients who underwent colonoscopy with MEI reported less
pain at the end of the procedure.
Sedation is used widely during colonoscopy for it has improved the tolerability of the
investigation. Most of the patients demand for sedation. In Germany Propofol is recommended
as the first-line sedative when endoscopy it is performed in an outpatient setting. The use
of Propofol involves the danger of respiratory complications. One reason for the application
of Propofol doses is the occurrence of pain during the investigation. We hypothesized that
if MEI is used and if loops can be avoided sufficiently lower Propofol doses would be
needed. We therefore planned this prospective controlled trial.
