Pdf Summary

Interventions to improve adenoma detection rates (ADR) for colonoscopy include water-assisted colonoscopy, longer withdrawal times, second examinations of the right-sided colon, dynamic changes in patient position, distal attachment devices, enhanced imaging technologies, computer-aided detection, split-dose bowel preparation, presence of a second observer, physician report cards, focused educational interventions, nurse involvement, and video recording. These interventions have shown to increase ADR by varying percentages, ranging from 5 to 39. Implementing these strategies can enhance the quality of colonoscopy and improve patient outcomes.
