Name Time Method Effects of CO2 and air insufflations on the intubation depth during SBE[Each maneuver involving advancement and withdrawal of the whole endoscope system, with blocked balloons, in general allows a maximun of 40 cm of the small bowel to be threaded on. The endoscopist has to estimated the efficacy of insertion of the enteroscope by endoscopic checking of the instruments advancement and has to estimate the length of small bowel released during insertion of the overtube and pulling back of the enteroscope and overtube.<br>This measurement technique is a standardized form and universally approved<br>May A, Nachbar L, Ell C.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effects of CO2 and air insufflations on post procedure pain during SBE[Evaluation of pain and discomfort<br> Having confirmed that the patients were pain-free before the examination, the patients were asked to grade any pain experienced immediately after the procedure SBE and again at 12 hour after the enteroscopy using a questionnaire containing 100 mm visual analog scale]
