Comparing Maximal and Half-maximal Suction Pressure Applied During Water Exchange in Colonoscopy

A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing Maximal and Half-maximal Suction Pressure Applied During Water Exchange in Colonoscopy

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 74 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Dalin Tzu Chi General Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This prospective, randomize, controlled trial will compared maximal to half-maximal suction pressure applied during water exchange in patients undergoing minimally sedated colonoscopy. We test the hypothesis that maximal suction pressure is more efficient and causes shorter insertion time.

Conditions

• Minimally Sedated Patient Undergoing Colonoscopy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	half-maximal pressure	the pressure level of the suction unit (DF 601, Hanlien, Taipei, Taiwan) will be set at the half-maximal (-35 cm Hg).
PROCEDURE	maximal pressure	The pressure level of the suction unit (DF 601, Hanlien, Taipei, Taiwan) will be set at the maximal (-70 cm Hg).
DEVICE	Suction Unit
