Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the mechanism of loop formation and acceptance of CAC and regular colonoscopy by MEI.
Whether patient-maintained sedation (the patient controls his/her degree of sedation using a hand-held device) using the drug propofol is safer and more effective when using deteriorating reaction time as an added safeguard against the potential for over sedation in a groups of patients undergoing oral surgery, general dentistry and colonoscopy.
The aim of the study is to compare a new 2 litre bowel cleansing product versus a sodium phosphate solution already on the market. Efficacy of each bowel preparation, safety and acceptability will be assessed.
Monocentric, cleansing evaluation pilot study in patients undergoing colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy is usually associated with coiling ("looping") of the colonoscope (instrument used for the procedure) in parts of the bowel. This is the main reason for patient discomfort and lengthens the duration of the procedure. Minimizing the coiling of the colonoscope would decrease the duration, and improve the efficiency and tolerability of the procedure and have a positive impact on colon cancer screening. The primary aim of this study is to compare the time it takes for the colonoscope to reach the end of the colon when the patient is lying on the belly versus the left side (usual) at the start of the procedure. Patients who have medical conditions that may be affected by lying on their belly or those who cannot comfortably lie on the belly will be excluded from the study. Changes in patient position and use of abdominal pressure (commonly given by the endoscopy nurse during the procedure) will be permitted as necessary and determined by the endoscopist. The endoscopist will also retain the decision to discontinue the patient's participation from the study for any medical reason. After the procedure the patient will be monitored in the usual manner and asked to fill out a "satisfaction survey" (24 hours after).
This will be a randomised, single-centre, single-blind, parallel-group, pilot study in patients undergoing colonoscopy. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of MOVIPREP® versus PICOLAX® for gut cleansing prior to colonoscopy. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and acceptability of MOVIPREP versus PICOLAX for gut cleansing prior to colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a mailed educational brochure on adherence to referral for screening colonoscopy. The comparison (or control) group receives no mailer, which is usual care.
To compare the safety and efficacy of 2 different bowel cleansing preparations prior to colonoscopy in adult subjects.
This study was designed to demonstrate that AQUAVAN® is effective in providing adequate sedation in elderly patients undergoing colonoscopy as well as to assess the safety profile of AQUAVAN versus that of midazolam. Prior to the procedure, patients received fentanyl citrate for pain management followed five minutes later by AQUAVAN® Injection for sedation. Throughout the procedure, study personnel assessed the patient's vital signs and depth of sedation. After the procedure, the patient, physician, and an evaluator were asked to complete satisfaction surveys.
