"Air Assisted"Water Injection Colonoscopy in Experienced Endoscopists

February 21, 2013 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University
Up to now, many studies has showed that compared with air insufflation colonoscopy, water-related colonoscopy could shorten the cecal intubation time and relieve the pain of the patients,especially for training the beginners,the investigators conduct this study to preform the "air assisted" water injection colonoscopy in experienced endoscopists.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Air insufflation colonoscopy
Air insufflation colonoscopy is the conventional colonoscopy,which is inflating air to help searching the bowel cavity while advancing the colonoscope until reaching the cecum.All the patients were examined without sedation during the whole procedure.
Other: Air insufflation
Air is inflated into the bowel to help searching the cavity while advancing the colonoscope until reaching the cecum.
Experimental: Water injection colonoscopy
Water injection colonoscopy : Cut off air inflating before examination. Water was injected through the working channel to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the caecum .The mucosa was observed by inflating the bowel with air while withdrawing the colonoscope.All the patients were examined without sedation during the whole procedure.
Other: Water injection
Water was injected through the working channel instead of air to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the caecum .
Experimental: " Air assisted" water colonoscopy
" Air assisted" water injection colonoscopy: Cut off air inflating before examination. Water was injected through the working channel to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the splenic flexure, small amount of air inflating could be given to help searching the cavity until reaching the cecum.All the patients were examined without sedation during the whole procedure.
Other: " Air assisted" water injection.
Cut off air inflating before examination. Water was injected through the working channel to follow the intestinal cavity until reaching the splenic flexure, small amount of air inflating could be given to help searching the cavity until reaching the cecum.
