Traditionally, room lights are turned down quite low during endoscopy. In a single-center retrospective study, 498 colonoscopies were performed by 9 gastroenterologists in low light (<75 lux) and 611 using ambient light (75-150 lux). The colonoscopies performed with low room lighting could be considered the historical controls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From low lighting to more ambient lighting, the adenoma detection rate (ADR) increased from 34.5% to 36%, a nonsignificant change. However, in comparing the ADRs from cases performed from the beginning of the day to the end of the day, the ADR dropped 5.6% during the low-light period but increased 2.8% with ambient light. The ADR changes through the day were significantly different, suggesting that increased ambient lighting produces less eye fatigue. Ambient lighting resulted in lower eyestrain scores (8.12 vs 5.63), as rated by the endoscopists. Most of the endoscopists also thought it was easier to detect changes in patients\u2019 clinical status with increased ambient lighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
