Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Encourage oral hydration up to 2.5 hours before commencement of afternoon colonoscopy list. This is done by offering two 600 ml bottles of Gatorade at the pre-anaesthesia consultation along with written instructions for their use on the day of the procedure. Each 600 ml bottle contains 36g sugars, 13.7 mmol sodium and 3.6 mmol potassium. The written instructions explained that the drink was to be consumed between 0700 and arrival at hospital on the day of the procedure around 1100. Participants were asked what actual volume they had consumed in the recovery room after the procedure.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Contingency tables are analysed with Fisher's Exact test and Chi squared tests.
Continuous variables arecompared using Mann-Whitney U tests.
Sample size estimation:
The primary outcome of this study was to achieve a 50% reduction in the incidence of significant orthostatic changes in haemodynamic variables (blood pressure reduction and pulse increase). The reported incidence of this being 20% after receiving sodium phosphate and picosulfate for bowel cleansing. To achieve a reduction of 50% (20% to 10%) in orthostatic changes, 199 patients were required in each group, allowing for p 8 0.05 and power of 80%.
