Comparison of caecal intubation rates between morning and afternoon colonoscopies at a tertiary hospital in Southwest Nigeria

Keywords: A descriptive study of consenting patients referred for colonoscopy at the endoscopy unit of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, from January 2016 to March 2017. Bowel preparation consisted of liquid diet and Epsom salt. Pre-medications were intravenous Midazolam 2.5-5 mg and Pentazocine 15-30 mg in titrated doses. Colonoscopy was performed using Olympus Exera III Videocolonoscope (CF HQ190L, Olympus UK). Morning procedures were those carried out between 8.30 am and 12.00 noon, while those after 12.00 noon were classified as afternoon procedures. Caecal intubation was considered successful when the medial wall of the caecum was visualized.
