To find the simplest and most effective method of intestinal preparation for dimethicone administration.
Colonoscopy
Simethicone is mixed into the final packet of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder
Take simethicone separately
PHASE4
A randomized controlled trial of dimethicone mixed with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (group A) versus dimethicone alone was conducted in patients undergoing colonoscopy (group B) the two different administration methods were used to compare the defoaming effect of dimethicone and the detection rate of polyps ≤0.5cm. To find the best way to administer dimethicone during bowel preparation for colonoscopy. In group A (n = 686), a bottle of dimethicone was mixed with the last package of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, dissolved in 1000ml water, and finished within 1 hour during bowel preparation. Group B (n = 686) received a bottle of dimethicone after taking the last sip of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder. Investigators asked each patient and physician about the interval between the administration of dimethicone and the initiation of colonoscopy, the time to colonoscopy withdrawal, the bowel cleanliness score, the intestinal bubble score, and whether polyps ≤0.5cm in diameter were detected. SPSS25.0 was used to analyze the data with two independent samples t test. The gender, age, the interval between the end of antifoams and the start of the examination, the time of withdrawal from colonoscopy during the examination, the intestinal cleanliness score, the intestinal bubble score, and the detection of polyps with diameter ≤0.5cm were analyzed between group A (dimethicone mixed with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder) and group B (dimethicone alone).
