ABSTRACT
Colonoscopy requires adequate cleaning of the entire colon. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a popular laxative regimen because of the ease of applicability and optimal bowel preparation results. Although the safety and efficacy of this solution is well established, serious complications from the bowel PEG-cleansing procedure have been reported. Here, we report a case of a 79-year-old male who developed aspiration pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome after administration of PEG by mouth before a scheduled colonoscopy. He was treated successfully with bronchoalveolar lavage and corticosteroids.
