Multi-center study of residual gastric volume and bowel preparation after the usage of 1L and 2L polyethylene glycol in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In colonoscopy, good bowel preparation is an important factor in determining the quality of colonoscopy. However, an increase in residual gastric volume (RGV) can lead to a higher risk of aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors related to an increase in RGV with the usage of 1L polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Methods

We prospectively analyzed 268 patients who underwent both gastroscopy and colonoscopy at 2 hospitals from May to October 2021. Bowel preparation was performed using 1L in 127 patients (47.4%) and 2L PEG in 141 patients (52.6%). We investigated the time taken for bowel preparation solutions, the last water intake, total water intake, and RGV, and conducted a survey on taking compliance and satisfaction.
