Carbon Dioxide Insufflation (CO2) and Warm Water Infusion (WWI) Versus Standard Air Insufflation (AI) for Unsedated Colonoscopy

Unsedated Colonoscopy Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Due to the increasing demand for colonoscopy in clinical practice, great interest has recently renewed for unsedated colonoscopy. Both Carbon dioxide Insufflation (CO2) and Warm Water Infusion (WWI) have been advocated to improve patient tolerance for colonoscopy as compared to standard Air Insufflation (AI). This study is aimed at evaluating the performance of the above techniques versus AI in unsedated patients.
