The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the effect of CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> insufflation on pain during and after colonoscopy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2003<\/jats:bold> Patients were randomized into CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> insufflation (CO2i) or air insufflation (AIRi) groups. Pain during and after the examination were recorded using a visual analogue scale. Other outcomes included the caecal intubation rate, time to reach the caecum and complication. With questionnaire, patients\u2019 satisfaction and acceptance of the procedure were assessed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2003<\/jats:bold> Over a 4\u2010month period, 96 patients were recruited. The caecal intubation rate was 96 and 98% in the CO2i group and the AIRi group, respectively. No complication occurred in the CO2i group whereas one patient from the AIRi group developed late haemorrhage after polypectomy. Patients in the CO2i group had a lower pain score during (<jats:italic>P\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.01) and 30\u2003min after (<jats:italic>P\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u20030.02) the examination. Significantly more patients in the CO2i group reported the examination as painless (visual analogue scale 0) during the procedure (45 vs 14%, <jats:italic>P\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.01) and 30\u2003min after (70 vs 51%, <jats:italic>P\u2003<\/jats:italic>=\u20030.04). In both groups, high satisfaction scores were recorded. Most patients (93% for the CO2i group and 98% for the AIRi group) would accept another colonoscopy if indicated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2003<\/jats:bold> Insufflation with CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> during colonoscopy results in less pain during and after the examination. Because of better tolerance, colonoscopy with CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> insufflation might gain wide acceptance in the community to be used as a screening tool.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-2197.2008.04683.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,8]],"date-time":"2008-10-08T23:57:47Z","timestamp":1223510267000},"page":"871-874","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["TOWARDS PAINLESS COLONOSCOPY: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL ON CARBON DIOXIDE\u2010INSUFFLATING COLONOSCOPY"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"James C.
