NCT00920751

Brief Summary

Hypothesis

  1. 1.Study method achieves lower requirement for medications
  2. 2.Study method increases overall cecal intubation with comparable assessment of current experience and patient willingness to repeat future colonoscopy compared with conventional colonoscopy
  3. 3.Study method results in reduction in medication-related (cardiorespiratory) complications, faster turn around of patients, compared with conventional colonoscopy
  4. 4.Study method improves bowel preparation and increases polyp pickup rate
