To investigate the effect of modified colonoscopy nursing pads in colonoscopy....
A total of 262 subjects who underwent colonoscopy at our endoscopy center between September 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental gr...
The success rate of the first correct position of the examinees in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and the time spent by the nurses to guide ...
The modified colonoscopy nursing pad can save the time of correct colonoscopy positioning of examinees, improve the efficiency of colonoscopy, reduce the workload of nursing staff, effectively protect...
The EndoRings device is a distal attachment consisting of two layers of circular flexible rings that evert mucosal folds. The aim of this study was to investigate whether EndoRing assisted colonoscopy...
Multicenter, parallel group, randomized controlled trial....
Total of 556 patients randomized to ER (n = 275) or SC (n = 281). Colonoscopy completed in 532/556 (96%) cases. EndoRings removed in 74/275 (27%) patients. Total number of polyps in ER limb 582 vs. 51...
Our study shows promise for the EndoRings device to improve polyp detection....
With increasing life expectancy, there is an increasing proportion of nonagenarians undergoing both elective and emergency surgical procedures. The decision as to whom will benefit from surgical proce...
Retrospective study of patients of Dr. G.R (Gastroenterologist) and Dr. W.B (Colorectal Surgeon) between 1 January 2018 and 31 November 2022. All patients who were ≥90 years old and had a colonoscopy ...
post-colonoscopy complications and length of stay....
reasons for colonoscopy, significant colonoscopy findings, 30-day morbidity and mortality....
Sixty patients were included in the study. Median age was 91 (90-100) years old. 33.3% of the patients were males. Seventy percent of the patients were ASA 3. Median length of hospital stay was 1 day....
Colonoscopy can be performed safely in carefully selected nonagenarian patients with acceptable low complication rates....
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field in gastrointestinal endoscopy, and its potential applications are virtually endless, with studies demonstrating use of AI for early gastric canc...
Multiple randomized controlled trials have now been published which show a statistically significant improvement when using AI to improve adenoma detection and reduce adenoma miss rates during colonos...
Cecal intubation may be unsuccessful by conventional colonoscopy in some patients. Single-balloon-assisted colonoscopy (SBC) and cap-assisted colonoscopy (CAC) were studied to solve this problem. Ther...
We conducted a randomized study from 2018 to 2021 to compare cecal intubation rate of SBC and CAC in patients with previous incomplete conventional colonoscopy. We recruited patients with incomplete c...
Forty-four patients were recruited. Cecal intubation rate was superior in SBC group (22/22, 100%) than CAC group (16/22, 72.7%) (P = 0.02). No difference in cecal intubation time, polyp detection rate...
SBC is superior to CAC in cecal intubation in patients with previous incomplete conventional colonoscopy....
Whether colonoscopy surveillance is useful depends on the impact of colonoscopy surveillance on colorectal cancer incidence and colorectal cancer related mortality. After the introduction of colorecta...
The indications, diagnostic yield, complications, and cecal and ileal intubation rates (CIR and IIR) for colonoscopies in children aged <6 years, denoted preschoolers, is unclear since there is limite...
Retrospective review of all colonoscopies in a tertiary pediatric hospital between December 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020 was undertaken. Demographic factors, indication for colonoscopy, extent of colo...
One thousand six hundred seventy-one total colonoscopies were performed, of which 13% (n = 219) were in preschoolers with median age 3.9 (range 0.3-5.9) years. Most common indications in preschoolers ...
Rectal bleeding was the most common indication and juvenile polyps the most common finding at colonoscopy in preschoolers. A high IIR is achievable in young children but rates are increasingly lower t...
Splenic rupture following colonoscopy (SRFC) is a rare complication and can have associated mortality if left undiagnosed. Most of the cases reported have been managed operatively. Here, we present a ...
Quality of care in colonoscopy is closely related to colonoscopy participants and the nursing workforce in endoscopy-related settings. However, limited data are available on the evaluations and recomm...
With a descriptive qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2021 and January 2022 with colonoscopy participants (P = 11) and nursing workforce (N = 7) in the endos...
Nine major themes emerged according to the structure, process, and outcome care quality model: workforce structure, quality requirements, unit facilities, nursing tools, nursing quality control system...
The indicator of quality of colonoscopy care should be used to assess and improve current practices to ensure a more direct and sustained impact of colonoscopy care. This study highlights the importan...
Colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening is endoscopist dependent, and colonoscopy quality improvement programs aim to improve efficacy. This study evaluated the clinical benefit and safety of usin...
This randomized study prospectively evaluated the use of a CADe device at 5 academic and community centers by US board-certified gastroenterologists (n = 22). Participants aged ≥40 scheduled for scree...
Between January and September 2021, 1440 participants were enrolled to be randomized. After exclusion of participants who did not meet the eligibility criteria, 677 in the standard arm and 682 in the ...
For experienced endoscopists performing screening and surveillance colonoscopies in the United States, the CADe device statistically improved overall adenoma detection (APC) without a concomitant incr...
