Title:The prone 12 o'clock position reduces ileal intubation time during
colonoscopy compared to the left lateral 6 o'clock (standard) position
Version: 1Date:17 May 2011
Reviewer: Derek Jewell
Reviewer's report:
This is a straightforward report of a well-designed clinical trial relating to ileal
intubation during colonoscopy. The study was well powered, the question to be
answered was clinically relevant and the study was well executed. Although it
has been common practice over many years to move patients into different
positions during difficult colonoscopic procedures, this is the first time that a
formal study comparing 2 positions for ileal intubation has been attempted. It is a
very neat study.
There are 2 minor errors: medazolam should be midazolam, oxymetry should be
oximetry
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
