Colon Cancer Clinical Trial
Effect of Anesthesia on Force Application During Colonoscopy
Summary
The aim of the study is to determine if more force is used during colonoscopy when patients receive monitored anesthesia with propofol versus conscious sedation. Force measurements will be performed using the colonoscopy force monitor (CFM). This device measures the magnitude and direction of force applied to the insertion tube of a standard colonoscope during colonoscopy.
Full Description
Randomized factorial design of colonoscopy with either propofol administered anesthesia or conscious sedation. Twelve experienced endoscopists from community and academic centers will perform colonoscopy using either propofol or conscious sedation on a group of 12 patients for each endoscopist for a study total of 144 patients. An equal number of male and female patients will be included in each group.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Male or female
