Article Synopsis
- - In the UK, a gold standard for colonoscopy requires a 90% cecal intubation (CI) rate, with endoscopists obligated to provide photographic evidence confirming successful CI, such as images of the ileum or ileocecal valve.
- - An audit of 396 colonoscopies showed that initially only 70% met CI proof requirements, with only half of those providing clearly marked proof of intubation in photographs.
- - After a repeat audit, 71% of colonoscopies improved to meet best practice standards, highlighting the need for regular audits and the importance of photographic evidence to prevent clinical and legal issues.
