Abstract
Abstract: Spraying with Sodium Thiosulphate Solution (STSS, Detoxol®) is reported to be useful in reducing the side effects of Iodine dyeing on the esophagus. In order to determine the optimal concentration of STSS and its efficacy, STSS was administered in the following concentrations. Group A: 10% (Original Solution), Group: B 5%. Group C, 2.5%. Group D: 1.7% and Group E: saline with no STSS, and a questionnaire was conducted to assess the side effects. The results showed that the higher the concentration, the less frequent and short lasting the side effects were. The effects of STSS on diagnostic efficacy was also evaluated. After spraying with STSS, the 2.5% solution removed iodine gradually but there were differences in discoloration among the various degrees of inflammation. When iodine dyeing was repeated, clear images with a good contrast were obtained. Excess iodine was neutralized and details of the surface and vascular pattern were more readily observed. Spraying with STSS seemed to increase the diagnostic ability of the procedure.
