Position Changes During Colonoscope Withdrawal and Polyp Detection

Position Changes During Colonoscope Withdrawal to Increase Polyp Detection: a Prospective Randomized Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 776 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of British Columbia · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether position changes during colonoscope withdrawal affects polyp detection rate. We hypothesize that positions change during scope withdrawal will increase polyp detection rate.

Conditions

• Colonic Polyp

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Position change	Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: Control group (those who will receive standard colonoscopy without position changes) and Position change group (those who will undergo position changes during colonoscope withdrawal during colonoscopy). Subjects in position change group will be asked to shift into three different positions during colonoscope withdrawal.
PROCEDURE	Standard	Subjects will undergo standard colonoscopy without position changes during scope withdrawal.
