Study Summary
In the United States, colonoscopy has become the most commonly used screening test for colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy is typically performed with the patient starting in the left lateral decubitus position, however there is little data to support this practice and starting position is variable amongst individual gastroenterology physicians. The investigators plan to randomize patients with Body Mass Index \>30 that are presenting to the University of Virginia for colonoscopy to either the prone or left lateral decubitus position. The investigators will then record and compare cecal intubation times as well as amount of sedation used and complications to help determine which position is superior for this patient population.
Primary Outcome
Time to advance the colonoscope to the cecum during colonoscopy.
