Abstract
Objective To evaluate magnesium sulfate and compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte in bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy . Methods A total of 81 patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (n = 41 ) received compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte, and group B (n = 40) re- ceived magnesium sulfate combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte. Positive detection rate, intestinal preparation score, the incidence of capsule retention and solution quality, liver and kidney function were compared between those two groups. Results The positive detection rates of capsule endoscopy were 65.9% (27/41) in group A and 62. 5% (25/40) in group B, which were nonsignificantly different (X2 = 0. 099 ,P 〉 0.05 ). The intestinal preparation scores of 19 patients in group A were ≤4 and those of 22 pa- tients were ≥6, while those of 28 patients in group B were ≤4 and of 12 patients were ≥6, which were sig- nificantly different (X2 =4. 653, P 〈 O. 05 ). The rates of capsule retention of group A and B were 2. 4% ( 1/41 ) and 5.0% (2/40) respectively, which were not significantly different (X2 = 0. 372,P 〉 0. 05 ). Obvious abdominal pain, nausea or vomitting occurred in no patients of the two groups. There was no difference in electrolyte level or liver and kidney function between those two groups ( P 〉 0. 05 ). Conclusion Magnesium sulfate combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte is applicable for the bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy. Key words: Capsule endoscopy; Magnesium sulfate; Compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte; Bowel preparation
