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 Despite American Society of Anesthesiologists recommends that patients can
take clear liquids until 2 hours prior to sedation for colonoscopy, resistance stemming from …

Background Successful bowel preparation (BP) for colonoscopy depends on the
instructions, diet, the laxative product, and patient adherence, which all affect colonoscopy …

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 …

This study aimed to define the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of oral mannitol used as an osmotic
laxative for bowel preparation for colonoscopy. The PKs of oral mannitol was evaluated in a …

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