Gastric preparation for magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy: A prospective, randomized single-blinded controlled trial

Abstract: Simethicone swallowed with water prior to MCE produced the optimal gastric mucosal image quality. The addition of pronase had no demonstrable additional benefit.

“…Since MCE cannot perform flushing and suctioning, visualization may be impaired by the presence of bubbles and mucus. The investigators have used detergents in gastric preparation, while the fundus still poor visualized [ 51 , 52 ]. Because battery life is limited, incomplete examination of small bowel and colon could easily occur (12.08% and 19.19%, respectively).…”

“…Some UGI videos were obscured by adherent mucus in the proximal stomach. The use of mucolytics such as N-acetylcysteine or pronase has been shown to be of benefit in improving mucosal visibility during gastroscopy[ 37 - 39 ], although this did not translate to the only capsule endoscopy study to date[ 40 ]. Routine use of hyoscine has been advocated to improve visualisation in OGD[ 14 ].…”
