Filter by:Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a non-invasive means of visualizing the small bowel. Common indications for CE include obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease like crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and polyposis syndrome. While CE has high diagnostic value for small bowel lesions, a significant limitation of this technology is the finite battery life which results in incomplete examination of the small bowel approximately 16.5% of the time. Numerous attempts of using pharmacological (e.g. prokinetics, purgatives) as well as non-pharmacological measures (e.g. real-time viewer, chewing gum) to improve completion rates, defined by entry of CE into the cecum, led to mixed results. Currently routine use of prokinetics (agents that speeds up gut motility) is not recommended. This study aims to determine whether longer battery of the newer generation capsule endoscopy system improves study completion rate and diagnostic yield.
It is a single center, prospective and self-controlled trial. We'd like to explore a new method by changing position to reduce gastric missing areas in Capsule Endoscopy(CE)
The primary aim of this prospective, randomized and controlled study was to evaluate the effect of five bowel preparation regimens on small-bowel cleansing in a pediatric population. The secondary endpoints were to evaluate the safety and the effects of preparation on diagnostic yield of CE.
The purpose of this study is to determine the missing rate of capsule endoscopy using back-to-back capsule endoscopy.
