This is a day procedure and you will be sedated during the procedure. Colonoscopy allows any pre-cancerous colon polyps to be removed immediately for tissue examination.  \nWhat happens during Colonoscopy?  \nA mild sedative and painkillers are usually given through an injection to relax you and put you into light sleep. A doctor will insert the endoscope through the anus to perform the examination.  \nYou will be under close monitoring throughout the procedure.  \nAre any specimens taken?  \nA tissue biopsy may be taken using a flexible biopsy forceps through the scope for better evaluation of any abnormal areas.  \nWhat is expected after Colonoscopy?  \nYou will be transferred to the recovery area for observation until you are deemed fit for discharge.  \nAre there any possible complications?  \nColonoscopy is generally safe, and serious complications arising from the procedure are rare. As with any medical intervention, there are some risks tobe aware of, including respiratory depression and cardio-respiratory arrest due to sedation (0 . 1%), perforation (0 .1-0.3%) and bleeding (0 .1-2%) .  \nWhat is the duration of the procedure?  \nColonoscopy takes an average of 15-30 minutes to complete.  \nAre there any pre-procedure preparations required?  \n• Yes, you should complete your bowel preparation before the procedure.  \n• Fasting is required once bowel preparation begins.  \n• Please refer to the following pages on Preparing For Colonoscopy Procedure for more information.  \nDischarge Advice  \nPost Sedation:  \n• After the procedure, you may feel dizzy, tired, nauseous and may even vomit or experience slight amnesia (difficulty remembering events that occured during the procedure) .  \n• You may experience temporary effects of sedation. They should wear off after one day.  \n• Your judgement and reactions may be affected for a short period of time. It is important that you:  \n- Arrange for someone accompany you home after the procedure.  \n- Do not drive or operate machinery.  \n- Do not take sleeping tablets and alcohol for the next 24 hours.  \n- Do not sign legal documents or make important decisions. Temporary side effects which may occur:  \n• Abdominal cramps and bloating which normally wear off within a day.  \n• Loose stools for one to two days due to the after-effects of bowel preparation; minor loss of bowel control may occur.  \n• Soft diet is recommended after the scope. If well tolerated, you can resume your normal diet.  \nWhen to seek medical help?  \nConsult a doctor (family doctor or specialist) if you experience any of these symptoms:  \n• Difficulty in breathing  \n• Excessive bleeding or passing of black stool  \n• Severe abdominal pain and bloatedness  \n• Severe chest pain  \n• Severe vomiting/ nausea  \n• Swollen and inflamed injection site  \nPlease proceed to the nearest Emergency Department after office hours.  \nOther instructions  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nPreparing For Colonoscopy Procedure  \nInform the doctor  \n• If you have heart valve disease/ pacemaker  \n• If you have any medical history or drug allergy  \nBowel Preparation  \nA clean bowel is essential for colonoscopy and will:  \n• Increase the accuracy and safety of the test  \n• Shorten the time needed for the examination  \nA poor or inadequate preparation may result in the need for a repeat colonoscopy.  \nWatch a video on preparing for  \nyour colonoscopy!  \nGuide chart for Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy  \n\n| Type | Stool/ Bowel\u003Cbr>Output | Expected Colonoscopy View | Condition | Action |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | | | | • Please inform the Nurse/ Doctor asa repeat in bowel preparation may be necessary |\n| 2 | | | | • The procedure will be rescheduled\u003Cbr>• Ward Nurse to inform Endoscopy Centre (for Inpatient only) |\n| 3 | | | | • Satisfactory\u003Cbr>• To proceed as planned |\n| 4 | | | | • Satisfactory\u003Cbr>• T","cbCaifp73ONgaCEW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifp73ONgaCEW","pdf",212668,12,"English","# What is a Colonoscopy?\n# What happens during Colonoscopy?\n# Specimens and biopsy\n# Expected after Colonoscopy\n# Possible complications and duration\n# Pre-procedure preparations\n## Discharge advice after sedation\n## When to seek medical help\n# Instructions for the procedure preparation\n## Inform the doctor\n## Bowel preparation and guide chart\n## Diet restrictions: food to avoid and food to eat\n## Clear liquids and timing\n## PEG (Fortrans) preparation method\n## PICOPREP® preparation method","[{\"question\":\"How should someone prepare before a colonoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"Complete bowel preparation before the procedure and start diet restrictions three days prior.
