New Bowel Preparation Technique for Colonoscopy: Clinical Trial Comparing Aquanet and Mannitol

Abstract: Background:Fifty-five percent of Americans aged 50-65 are submitted to colonoscopy. For over 65-year, this number increases to 64%. In Brazil, it is forecast that the population submitted to colonoscopy will grow, even though inadequate preparation is still a major problem. Aim:To analyze the quality of a new intestinal preparation technique, Aquanet EC-2000®, compared to oral Mannitol solution. Methods:This prospective longitudinal study enrolled 200 patients with indication for colonoscopy. The sample was ra… Show more

“…Using mechanical bowel cleansing before or during colonoscopy is proposed as an alternative to oral laxatives in selected patient groups. 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 Preprocedural devices work through retrograde bowel lavage using pressurized water one hour before colonoscopy, 108 , 109 , 110 while intraprocedural devices can be used during colonoscopy providing water‐pressured cleansing. 107 , 111 , 112 , 113 Feasibility studies have shown a clear potential, with adequate bowel preparation achieved in 97.9–100% and 68.8–91.1% of patients in whom intraprocedural devices 107 , 111 , 112 , 113 or preprocedural devices, 108 , 109 , 110 respectively, were used.…”

Nonetheless, the use of intraprocedural devices adds significantly to the total procedure time, and preprocedural devices require a specialized nurse to operate the system.…”

“…In the choice of intestinal cleansers, polyethylene glycol is still the most widely used at home and abroad [18], and recent metaanalysis shows sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate with better tolerability and less frequent adverse events demonstrated non-inferior bowel cleaning efficacy than that of the polyethylene glycol [19]. In addition to active oral intestinal laxative preparations, in recent years, passive intestinal cleaning methods such as Aquanet EC-2000 have also been developed, with effects similar to oral sodium matrine sulfate and mannitol oral solutions [20,21]. In actual clinical work, the preparation situation is not optimistic.…”

“…Colonic irrigation as an alternative method has been reported and was described as safe, effective and well tolerated. In addition, bowel cleansing quality of colonic irrigation is considered comparable to oral purgative regimes but with less side effects and high patient satisfaction 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 . Furthermore, colonic irrigation in the form of colon hydrotherapy is described by Parekh et al as the “future direction of bowel preparation” 18 .…”
