Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing effectiveness and safety of moderate and deep sedation during colonoscopy.
Research design and methods: We searched Medline, Embase, Central and Google scholar in May 2017 and updated in March 2018 to identify all randomized controlled trials that compared the effectiveness and safety of moderate and deep sedation during colonoscopy. The quality of studies was assessed using the “Risk of bias” tool. The primary endpoints were defined as patient satisfaction, physician satisfaction, incidence of recall and incidence of desaturation. Recovery time was also evaluated. Review Manager and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software were used for statistical analysis.
Results: A total of 919 patients from three studies were included in the final analysis. The combined analysis did not reveal any differences in patient satisfaction between moderate and deep sedation (RR?=?0.94; 95% CI: 0.86 to 1.04; Pchi2?=?0.06; I2?=?65%; number needed to treat to harm [NNTH]?=?15.6; 95% CI: NNTH 7.8 to ∞ to number needed to treat to benefit [NNTB]?=?3078.0), physician satisfaction (RR?=?0.35; 95% CI: 0.02 to 6.95; Pchi2 < 0.001; I2?=?100%; NNTB?=?1.6; 95% CI: 1.5 to 1.8), incidence of recall (RR?=?5.82; 95% CI: 0.51 to 66.48; Pchi2?=?0.11; I2?=?60%; NNTH?=?11.0; 95% CI: 7.5 to 20.5) or recovery time (mean difference?=?-6.77; 95% CI: -16.21 to 2.67; Pchi2 < 0.001; I2?=?99%). However, incidence of desaturation was higher in the deep group than in the moderate group (RR?=?0.18; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.99; Pchi2?=?0.48; I2?=?0%; NNTB?=?56.7; 95% CI: 31.6 to 273.1).
Conclusions: Moderate sedation showed comparable safety and effectiveness to deep sedation with respect to patient satisfaction, physician satisfaction, incidence of recall and recovery time. 相似文献
Recent trends have identified increasing number of young individuals with rectal and colon cancers. These individuals, who are younger than 50 years old, in most instances would not meet screening guidelines. We aimed to report the characteristics and trend of the rising proportion of young individuals being diagnosed with rectal and colon cancers at our institutions.
Patients and Methods
This study included 3381 rectal and colon cancer patients from the Mayo Clinic cancer registry from 1972 to 2017 who were diagnosed with rectal or colon cancer and who were < 50 years old. Patient and cancer characteristics are described. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to see if the change in percentage diagnosed at age < 50 years had a significant trend over the years. A linear regression model was fit to estimate the percentage change per year when the trend was approximately linear.
Results
The percentage of patients diagnosed with rectal or colon cancer in different age categories over the years showed a rising trend for individuals aged < 50. Most of these tumors were distal (rectum, left-sided colon, and right-sided colon were 49.8%, 28.8%, and 21.4%, respectively). This was more so for patients < 50 diagnosed with rectal cancer, which showed a linear increase at a rate of 0.26% per year (P < .001).
Conclusion
Our study affirms the rising proportion of colorectal cancers found in young individuals, with a linear ongoing rise of rectal cancers in particular. This may have implications for the current screening recommendations for colorectal cancers, which are already being revised. 相似文献
A randomised prospective trial compared safety and patient tolerance for one-man method with two-man method undergoing colonoscopy. Eighty patients were randomized to 1 of 2 groups: the two-man method group (n = 40); or the one-man method group (n = 40). All colonoscopic examinations were performed by the same endoscopist to reduce skill-based variation. Patient tolerance for colonoscopy was evaluated with a numerical rating scale ranging from 0 for painless to 5 for maximal pain. Cardiopulmonary parameters were recorded during the procedure. Patients receiving one-man method had lower pain score than two-man method. The length of the scope reach to the cecum was shorter in the one-man group than the two-man group. The patients underwent two-man colonoscopy had higher maximum increase in heart rate during the procedure compared with one-man group. One-man colonoscopy can improve patient tolerance and reduces patient pain by decreasing the redundancy of colonoscope during the procedure. 相似文献
The role of laparoscopy in the management of iatrogenic colonoscopic injuries has increased with surgeons becoming facile with minimally invasive methods. However, with a limited number of reported cases of successful laparoscopic repair, the exact role of this modality is still being defined. Drawing from previous literature and our own experiences, we have formulated a simple algorithm that has helped us treat colonoscopic perforations.
Methods:
A retrospective review was undertaken of patients treated for colonoscopic perforations since the algorithm''s introduction. For each patient, initial clinical assessment, management, and postoperative recovery were carefully documented. A Medline search was performed, incorporating the following search words: colonoscopy, perforation, and laparoscopy. Twenty-three articles involving 106 patients were identified and reviewed.
Results:
Between May 2009 and August 2012, 7 consecutive patients with colonoscopic perforations were managed by 2 surgeons using the algorithm. There were no complications and no deaths, with a mean length of stay of 4.43 days (range, 2–7 days). Of the 7 patients, 6 required surgery. A single patient was managed conservatively and later underwent an elective colon resection.
Conclusions:
Traditionally, laparotomy was the preferred method for treating colonoscopic perforations. Our initial experience reinforces previous views that laparoendoscopic surgery is a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery for managing this complication. We have formulated a simple algorithm that we have found helpful for surgeons considering a laparoscopic approach to managing this condition. 相似文献
Low-cost, objective systems to assess and train endoscopy skills are needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of Simulated Colonoscopy Objective Performance Evaluation to assess the skills required to perform endoscopy.
Methods
Thirty-eight subjects were included in this study, all of whom performed 4 tasks. The scoring system measured performance by calculating precision and efficiency. Data analysis assessed the relationship between colonoscopy experience and performance on each task and the overall score.
Results
Endoscopic trainees' Simulated Colonoscopy Objective Performance Evaluation scores correlated significantly with total colonoscopy experience (r = .61, P = .003) and experience in the past 12 months (r = .63, P = .002). Significant differences were seen among practicing endoscopists, nonendoscopic surgeons, and trainees (P < .0001). When the 4 tasks were analyzed, each showed significant correlation with colonoscopy experience (scope manipulation, r = .44, P = .044; tool targeting, r = .45, P = .04; loop management, r = .47, P = .032; mucosal inspection, r = .65, P = .001) and significant differences in performance between the endoscopist groups, except for mucosal inspection (scope manipulation, P < .0001; tool targeting, P = .002; loop management, P = .0008; mucosal inspection, P = .27).
Conclusions
Simulated Colonoscopy Objective Performance Evaluation objectively assesses the technical skills required to perform endoscopy and shows promise as a platform for proficiency-based skills training. 相似文献
The aim of the present study was to develop a rat model of colonic microperforation secondary to thermal injury for future studies to assess new treatments.
Methods
Twenty-four male Sprague–Dawley rats were used in this study. Hot biopsy forceps were used for all treatments. All lesions were created in proximal left colon using the soft coagulation setting. The power setting tested was 40 W, and the durations of monopolar soft coagulation application evaluated were 2, 3, and 4 s.
Results
In the acute phase, 48 h after thermal injury, durations of cautery of 2 and 3 s resulted in transmural necrosis, whereas with 4 s microperforation was obtained. In the late phase, 7 d after the damage, only duration of cautery of 4 s showed deep cautery effects, with signs of peritonitis.
Conclusions
We determined optimal power settings and duration of therapy in a rat model for producing electrocautery that involves transmural necrosis with microperforation. 相似文献
Colonoscopy is the most frequent exam used to evaluate colonic mucosa, allowing
the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. The appropriate bowel preparation is
indispensable for the realization of colonoscopy. Therefore, it is necessary the
use of laxative medications, preferentially by oral administration.
Aim
To compare two medications used in bowel preparation in adult patients going to
ambulatory colonoscopy and to analyze the patients'' profile.
Methods
A double-blind prospective study with 200 patients, randomized in two groups: one
that received polyethilene glycol and another that received lactulose. The
patients answered to questionnaires to data compilation, as tolerance, symptoms
and complications related to preparation. Besides, it was also evaluated the
prepare efficacy related to the presence of fecal residue.
Results
Intestinal habit alterations and abdominal pain were the main reasons to realize
the exams and hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity. Ten percent of the
ones who received lactulose didn''t get to finish the preparation and 50%
considered the taste "bad, but tolerable". The most common subjective symptom
after the medication was nausea, especially after lactulose. During the exam, most
of the patients who used lactulose had a "light discomfort" and the ones who used
polyethilene glycol considered the discomfort as "tolerable". The quality of the
preparation was good in 75%, undependable of the medication that was used.
Conclusion
Polyethilene glycol was more tolerable when compared to lactulose, without
difference on the quality of the preparation. 相似文献
