Endoscopic thyroidectomy developed rapidly in recent years, and the most popular surgical approach was endoscopic thyroidectomy by bilateral areola approach, but some operative steps was required optimization. One of the most annoying problem was the smog blurring endoscopic lens during surgery. The researcher summarized a set of convenient foot-control exhaust method and carried out this prospective study.
During colonoscopy, body mass index, waist circumference and waist / hip ratio is the relationship between the cecal intubation difficulty aims to define.
Colonoscopic examinations are performed routinely in hospitalized patients for a variety of indications. However, numerous limitations exist in hospitalized patients preventing an endoscopist from performing high quality examinations; possibly necessitating repeated procedures leading to increased cost and re-exposure to their inherent risks. One such prominent challenge lays in the adequacy of bowel cleansing. Inpatient status has been shown to be a predictor of poor bowel preparation as these patients are older, less mobile and have more co morbidities than the outpatient population. Currently, no standardized (or optimized) bowel preparation type or regimen for administration exists for the hospital inpatient population undergoing colonoscopy. Studies in the outpatient population have demonstrated that timing and choice of cathartic medication effects the cleanliness of the bowel preparation but there is no such clinical evidence for in-patients who receive whatever cathartic agent is on hospital formulary. The purpose of the study is compare efficacy, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects associated with low volume cathartic (Pico-Salax) to the current standard volume 4 liter (PEG-Lyte) and the effect of alternate timing of dosages.
The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy an adjuvant use of standard dose or high dose of proton pump inhibitor after combined endoscopic hemostasis therapy.
