OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to compare the hydrogen potential (pH) and residual gastric
volume (RGV) of patients undergoing colonoscopy after 3 and 6 hours of colon preparation …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Bowel preparation with mannitol is a well-established method
in Brazil. However, factors that interfere with the gastric emptying time period are yet to be …

Background: Obstacles to high-volume bowel preparation by anesthesia providers resulting
from concerns over aspiration risk are common during colonoscopy. Study: Prospective …

This study tested the hypothesis that bowel preparation with mannitol should not affect the
colonic concentration of H2 and CH4. Therefore, the SATISFACTION study, an international …

Objective Bowel preparation is recognized as the most burdensome aspect of the whole
colonoscopy procedure, sometimes even worse that the examination itself, and represents a …

The aim of this study was to compare gastric residual volume (GRV) in patients given a split‐
dose versus a conventional single‐dose of polyethylene glycol (PEG) preparation before …

Colonoscopy represents the gold standard procedure for visualizing colon mucosa and
detecting lesions, mainly precancerous and cancerous ones [1]. In addition to having a …

Background: Preoperative fasting of clear fluids is recommended to reduce the incidence of
pulmonary aspiration under anesthesia but non-compliance may cause aspiration or an …
