چکیده
The advent of optical colonoscopy has enabled gastroenterologists to visualize the colonic mucosa. This procedure has since become the cornerstone of colon cancer screening programs. Clinicians and scientists have made great strides to fine-tune the technical aspects of this procedure and have also made important advances that allow for a more effective and safer colonoscopy. This article focuses on current research and expert opinion regarding colonoscopy preparation, premedication and sedation.

متن کاملPaired Comparison of Procedural Sequence in Same-day Bidirectional Endoscopy with Moderate Sedation and Carbon Dioxide Insufflation: A Prospective Observational Study
BACKGROUND/AIMS Same-day bidirectional endoscopy (BDE) is a commonly performed procedure, but the optimal sequence of the procedure with carbon dioxide insufflation is not well established. In this study, we investigated the optimal sequence for same-day BDE without polypectomy under moderate sedation and carbon dioxide insufflation in terms of sedation doses and colonoscopy performance. PATI...
