Summary

Peroral colonic lavage significantly improves bowel cleansing for total colonoscopy compared to senna or laxative combinations. Patient acceptance and minor side effects showed no significant differences between the bowel preparation methods.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Medical Procedures

Background:

  • Effective bowel preparation is crucial for successful colonoscopy.
  • Existing methods include senna preparations, laxative combinations, and peroral lavage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and patient acceptance of three distinct bowel preparatory regimens before total colonoscopy.
  • To assess side effects and physiological parameters associated with each regimen.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized, prospective, single-blind study involving 90 hospital inpatients.
  • Evaluation of bowel cleansing extent, patient acceptance, side effects, body weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, and laboratory parameters.
  • Comparison of peroral colonic lavage, senna preparation, and a combined laxative agent.

Main Results:

  • Peroral colonic lavage demonstrated superior bowel cleansing compared to senna and combined laxative agents (p < 0.001).
  • No significant differences in patient acceptance were observed among the three groups.
  • Minor deviations included slight decreases in serum potassium with the laxative combination and minimal heart rate decrease with senna.

Conclusions:

  • Peroral colonic lavage is significantly more effective for bowel cleansing prior to total colonoscopy than senna or laxative combinations.
  • All evaluated bowel preparation methods exhibited comparable patient acceptance and generally minor side effects.
