An observational study in Outpatient Colonoscopy for Colorectal Cancer Screening or for Symptoms Suggestive of Colonic Diseases, sponsored by Artann Laboratories. Completed at 3 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-07-12.
Sponsored by Artann Laboratories · Observational
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.
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.
142 studies on the registry are indexed under Colonic Diseases; 22 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 102 is below the median of 170 across 48 observational studies indexed under Colonic Diseases.
