Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Polyp detection rate

    6 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Control

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Subject will undergo standard colonoscopy.

Procedure: Standard

Position change

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subject will under go standard colonoscopy, but also with position changes during colonoscope withdrawal.

Procedure: Position change

Interventions

Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: Control group (those who will receive standard colonoscopy without position changes) and Position change group (those who will undergo position changes during colonoscope withdrawal during colonoscopy). Subjects in position change group will be asked to shift into three different positions during colonoscope withdrawal.

Position change
StandardPROCEDURE

Subjects will undergo standard colonoscopy without position changes during scope withdrawal.
