Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of cognitive recovery as measured by Postoperative quality of recovery ( Postop QRS) questionnaire. The definition of recovery is a return to baseline values or better in all of the recovery domains, with adjustment for performance variability in the cognitive domain<br>The Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS) is a brief tool that has been widely used in many studies to assess quality of recovery in multiple domains at various time points. The final version of PostopQRS consists of six domains (physiologic, nociceptive, emotive, activities of daily living, cognitive and ‘overall patient perspective’). [Day 3 following procedure]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recovery for all domains (physiological, nociceptive, emotive activities of daily living, cognitive) and within domains over time and overall patient perspective as measured by PostopQRS questionnaire[15 minutes and 40 minutes, day 1, day 3, day 7 and 3 months following colonoscopy ]
