Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Our aim is to perform a randomized-controlled trial comparing air insufflation sedated colonoscopy (conventional method) vs. water infusion sedated colonoscopy (study method) by supervised trainees. Randomized trials demonstrating reduced need for sedation medications without compromising patients' comfort, cecal intubation rates or polyps detection may cause a paradigm shift and positively alter the way traditional colonoscopy is performed and future endoscopists are trained.
