Design and Clinical Application of Colonoscopy Position Identification Sheet

Design and Clinical Application of Colonoscopy Position Identification Sheet: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

Before colonoscopy, the nursing staff need to educate the patient with posture coordination.However, it is difficult for some patients to understand the placement of the correct body position, which takes too much time to conduct repeated education, which wastes medical resources, reduces work efficiency, and even causes conflicts between doctors and patients.In this study, the colonoscopy position identification sheet with indicator function was designed to assist the position placement of patients. Preliminary experiments of small samples have achieved good clinical results. Now, multicenter, randomized controlled research is carried out to further verify the clinical application effect.

This study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study involving patients who first underwent colonoscopy in 11 centers in China. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group used colonoscopy position identification sheet, and the control group used ordinary clean sheets. The main evaluation index was the time required from the nurse guide to the patient complete the position placement, and the secondary indicators were doctors' satisfaction, nurse satisfaction and patient satisfaction.
