P-057 The comparison between propofol sedated air‐colonoscopy and non‐propofol sedated water‐colonoscopy: a randomized controlled‐single blind study

To compare patient's experience who underwent colonoscopy between propofol sedated air-method and non-propofol sedated water-method. Methods: This is a single center, single blind RCT in Digestive Endoscopy Center of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital-Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta that compare patient's experience between propofol sedated air-colonoscopy and non-propofol sedated water-colonoscopy. Cecal intubation, VAS score of pain (0-10) after the procedure and willingness to repeat colonoscopy were compared between two groups of treatments. Total of 130 patients who meet inclusion criteria and sign the informed consent will be randomized with 65 patients assign to each arm of procedure. Results: Until Oct 2014, 83 patients were recruited consecutively with 56 (M/F: 33/23) patients underwent non-propofol sedated water-colonoscopy and 27 (M/F: 19/8) patients underwent propofol sedated air-colonoscopy. Propofol sedated air-colonoscopy vs non-propofol sedated water-colonoscopy comparisons revealed: cecal intubation time 10:56±10:50 vs 09:32±08:47 (p=0.774, Mean-Whitney test); VAS score of pain 0.07±0.267 vs 2.14±2.467 (p=0.000, Mean-Whitney test); and willingness to repeat colonoscopy 100% vs 87.5%. Conclusion: While statistically for cecal intubation time insignificant, VAS score of pain result have shown propofol sedated air colonoscopy gave better patient's experience than non-propofol sedated water-colonoscopy.
