This report reviews the impact of water exchange on the variation in attenuation of pain during colonoscopy by water-related methods. METHODS: Medline (2008 to 2011) searches, abstracts of the 2011 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) and personal communications were considered to identify RcTs that compared water-related methods and air insufflation to aid insertion of the colonoscope. Results: Since 2008 nine published and one submitted RcTs and five abstracts of RcTs presented at the 2011 DDW have been identified. Thirteen RcTs (nine published, one submitted and one abstract, n=1850) described reduction of pain score during or after colonoscopy (eleven reported statistical significance); the remaining reports described lower doses of medication used, or lower proportion of patients experiencing severe pain in colonoscopy performed with water-related methods compared with air insufflation (Tables 1 and 2). The water-related methods notably differ in the timing of removal of the infused water - predominantly during insertion (water exchange) versus predominantly during withdrawal (water immersion). Use of water exchange was consistently associated with a greater attenuation of pain score in patients who did not receive full sedation (Table 3). CONCLUSION: The comparative data reveal that a greater attenuation of pain was associated with water exchange than water immersion during insertion. The intriguing results should be subjected to further evaluation by additional RcTs to elucidate the mechanism of the pain-alleviating impact of the water method.</p>","PeriodicalId":89416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interventional gastroenterology","volume":"1 3","pages":"114-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3234695/pdf/jig0103_0114.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30319920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OBJECTIVE: To compare quality indicators in sedated veterans. DESIGN: Performance improvement. SETTING: VA endoscopy unit. PATIENTS: 368 consecutive screening patients. INTERVENTION: Air or water method assignment (high definition colonoscope) was based on the last digit of social security number. MEASUREMENTS: Adenoma detection rate (ADR), cecal intubation rate; intubation and withdrawal times; sedation requirements and external pressure used. RESULTS: ADR was higher with the water method (57.1% vs. 46.1%, p=0.04). After controlling for age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol, withdrawal time and quality of bowel preparation, the odds of detecting an adenoma was 81% higher with the water method (OR 1.81; 95% cI: 1.12-2.90). In the proximal colon ADR was higher with the water method (45.8% vs. 34.6%, p=0.03), including adenomas <10 mm in size (41.8% vs. 31.4%, p=0.04). The water method showed significantly longer cecal intubation time (6.9±0.3 vs. 5.3±0.3 min, p=0.0001); less external pressure used (11.9% vs. 28.3%, p=0.0001); lower need for additional sedation (17.5% vs. 27.2%, p<0.03).

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acriflavine with different concentrations on the CLE image quality and to find a sound concentration in clinical practice. METHODS: Twenty four consecutive patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal CLE were enrolled into this study. The patients randomly accepted acriflavine in four different concentrations which were the conventional 0.05% and 3 lower ones respectively: 0.02%, 0.01% and 0.005% spraying onto the same focal antrum mucosa during CLE procedures.
