Filter by:In patients with central obesity, the effect of the abdominal corset on colonoscopy completeness, cecum and ileum intubation time will be investigated.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture versus Sham acupuncture in reducing patient's discomfort and pain during colonoscopy with a standard sedation protocol. This will be objectively measured by the reduction in the amount of analgesia used as well as the time spent in the recovery room.
The aim of this randomized trial is to compare the proportion of patients achieving an adequate bowel preparation after a 1-day split-dose 4-liter PEG-based bowel preparation regimen (Golytely, Braintree Laboratory Inc, MA, USA) vs. the same regimen given on 2 consecutive days in a population identified as high risk for an inadequate bowel preparation. 2. Research Design: This study is a single-center prospective randomized study at the West Haven VAMC. 3. Methodology: 1. Primary endpoint: Adequate bowel preparation as defined by a Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score of 2 or 3 (on scale of 0-3) in all 3 colon segments (left, transverse, and right). 2. Secondary endpoints: Adenoma detection rate, polyp detection rate, sessile serrated polyp/adenoma detection rate, patient tolerability of preparation using the validated Mayo clinic bowel prep tolerability questionnaire, adverse events potentially related to bowel preparation Patients scheduled for routine outpatient colonoscopy will be eligible if they are at high risk for poor bowel preparation,
During colonoscopy, body mass index, waist circumference and waist / hip ratio is the relationship between the cecal intubation difficulty aims to define.
The purpose of this study is to determine optimal time intervals for preparation before colonoscopy using different formulas.
In France, nearly 1.3 million colonoscopies are performed each year. Colonoscopy is the gold standard in France for colorectal cancer screening in populations at risk. However, it has a number of limitations. The quality of the bowel preparation is a critical step for the successful completion of this examination. The occurrence of interval cancers raises the problem of missed lesions. A literature review showed that there were differences between the endoscopy units on quality standards for bowel preparation. The rate of unprepared colonoscopy is estimated between 20 to 40% . In a recent cohort study, 28% of 2516 colonoscopies had a score of Boston of less than or equal to 6. These colonoscopies generate substantial additional costs to redo colonoscopies, estimated at 35 million euros in 2008. The establishment a predictive score for quality of bowel preparation based on a self-administered questionnaire completed by patients during the pre-colonoscopy consultation, would help identify patients at risk of poor preparation in order to optimize the prescribed preparation in this consultation.
Does comforting conversation during colonoscopy improve on patient satisfaction, compliance and pain management.
After written consent for participating in clinical research studies, all clinical studies conducted to in the one day. The investigators will ask and record about bowel cleansing state in all patients who performed colonoscopy. There is no additional cost and the expected complications. Based on answer, the investigators will develop a prediction model for inadequate bowel preparation and prove validation. This model can take the additional measures to subjects predicting improper cleansing. It can contribute to improve the accuracy of the test and reduce the discomfort due to re-performing colonoscopy after re-preparation, as well as cost savings due to reduced frequency of re-colonoscopy Ultimately, it will be able to bring a improvement of the quality of management
Usefulness of Flospan as a premedication for colonoscopy: A randomized double-blind controlled trial
THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY, TOLERABILITY, AND SAFETY OF DIFFERENT BOWEL PREPARATIONS FOR COLONOSCOPY IN CHILDREN. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO COMPARE THE OVERALL COLON CLEANSING
