Core Tip	With the increasing use of gastrointestinal endoscopy, especially for screening in an asymptomatic population, increasing the tolerability of the procedure is of paramount importance. Our review summarizes evidence that carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation can reduce both pain and bloating in colonoscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography although the evidence in gastroscopy is still lacking. Despite established safety concerns about hypercapnia, significant harm has never been demonstrated in the literature. Patients thought to be at higher risk of hypercapnia need to be included in more studies to demonstrate that CO2 insufflation is safe in an unselected screening population but early evidence is encouraging.
