Brief Summary: Colonoscopy and sedation are frequently accompanied by hypotension which reduces the amount of sedation able to be employed Blood pressure is restored by the infusion of intravenous normal saline Prophylactic infusion of normal saline may enhance the colonoscopy completion rate and patient comfort during colonoscopy and during the recovery from colonoscopy

The investigators propose randomising consenting adult patients attending outpatient colonoscopy to one of two treatment arms

i A control arm

ii A treatment arm with pre-hydration with an infusion of 10 litre of normal saline immediately prior to colonoscopy

Outcome measures include colonoscopy completion rates hypotension during or after colonoscopy and patient ratings of comfort and satisfaction
Detailed Description: Outpatient colonoscopy is a generally well-tolerated elective procedure Colonoscopy completion rate is governed in part by patient comfort which is enhanced by adequate sedation In addition comfort following colonoscopy determines timely recovery from the procedure and return to usual activities

Colonoscopy and sedation are frequently accompanied by hypotension systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg which reduces the amount of sedation able to be employed Where apparent blood pressure is restored by infusion of intravenous normal saline We have observed that hypotension is relatively common and may be present at or shortly after the commencement of the procedure suggesting that many patients undergoing colonoscopy have reduced blood volume Therefore prophylactic infusion of normal saline may enhance colonoscopy completion rate and patient comfort during colonoscopy and during recovery from colonoscopy

We propose randomising consenting adult patients attending outpatient colonoscopy to one of two treatment arms

i A control arm with standard sedation and monitoring during colonoscopy and infusion of normal saline if systolic BP 95 mmHg for more than 3 minutes two observation periods until completion of the procedure

ii A treatment arm with pre-hydration with an infusion of 10 litre of normal saline immediately prior to colonoscopy

Outcome measures include colonoscopy completion rates hypotension during or after colonoscopy and patient ratings of comfort and satisfaction
