Evaluation of different administration speed on Polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution for colonoscopy preparation / 中国内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the cleanliness and tolerance of different administration speed on polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (PEG-ES) for colonoscopy preparation. Methods 97 consecutive asymptomatic individuals underwent colonoscopy and therapy were enrolled and randomly assigned into 2 groups. Subjects in group A drank 2000 ml PEG-ES (1000 ml every 10 ~ 20 min rapidly) within 1 h before colonoscopy;Subjects in group B drank 2000 ml PEG-ES (250 ml every 10 min) within 2 h before colonoscopy. The total time of drinking PEG-ES, the first defecation time and total numbers of defecation after drinking PEG-ES, score and degree of Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) and PEG-ES related adverse effects of the two groups were assessed and compared. Results There were no significant differences in gender, age and cecal insertion rate between group A and group B (P > 0.05). The total time of drinking PEG-ES, the first defecation time in group A were significant faster than those in group B, while total numbers of defecation was significantly more than that in group B (P 0.05). Conclusions Both regimens met the requirement of conventional colonoscopy and therapy, while rapid drinking PEG-ES within 1 h provides more better colonic cleansing quality for colonoscopy preparation.
