Double-Balloon Colonoscopy Has a Higher Cecal Intubation Rate Than Conventional Colonoscopy Using a Colon Simulator

Abstract: DBC has a higher cecal intubation rate than CC performed by endoscopy naïve medical students using a colon simulator in this randomized-controlled, cross-over study.

“…To increase CIR, various techniques such as water infusion and carbon dioxide insufflation, and also various device modifications like pediatric, robotic, double balloon, long or very thin colonoscopy usage have been reported. [3,8,9] For most of the patients, colonoscopy is a painful and disturbing procedure. Discomfort felt during the procedure is one of the most important reasons for reducing CIR and patient satisfaction.…”

“…A recent randomized, controlled, crossover study compared the cecal intubation rate (CIR) and learning curve for DBC in endoscopy-naïve medical students using a physical colonic simulator, versus those performing conventional colonoscopy. The DBC group had a higher CIR compared to the conventional colonoscopy group (73% vs. 7%, p <0.001) [ 13 ]. Thus, DBC could be a valuable teaching option for cecal intubation, shortening the training period, and possibly reducing the need for colonoscopy training.…”

“…DBC is considered as an effective procedure for cecal intubation following an initial incomplete colonoscopy. Reports suggest a higher CIR as compared to the conventional colonoscopy, which suggest that it may be a productive educational option for cecal intubation, minimising the training time and eventually reduce the call for suitable training in colonoscopy procedures (9). Abdominal compression may be initiated on the abdomen segment where a loop is anticipated, however, the air insufflation technique keeps the colon lengthy and protracted making it cumbersome to progress effectively with the colonoscope.…”
