“…Many studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of CO2 insufflation for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Two recent systematic reviews and meta-analysis showed that CO2 insufflation is safe in patients without severe pulmonary disease, and is associated with decreased bowel distension and postprocedural pain [53,54] . Furthermore, one of them showed that insufflation with CO2 in colonoscopy could also decrease abdominal pain during colonoscopy [54] .…”

Colonoscopy is the reference method in the secondary prevention, diagnosis and, in some cases, treatment of colorectal cancer. It can often cause pain associated with embarrassment, anxiety, and physical and emotional discomfort. Pain intensity is influenced by a lot of factors, and there is a strict relationship among pain, pain perception, and mind. Several methods can be used to break the trinomial colonoscopy, pain and fear. Sedoanalgesia is recommended by several guidelines. If no sedation is offered, the patient must accept a higher chance of unacceptable discomfort and the endoscopist a lower chance of completing the procedure because of patient discomfort. Other non-pharmacologic methods such as acupuncture, music, and hydrocolonoscopy can be used as alternatives to pharmacologic sedoanalgesia. Furthermore, new endoscopic technologies such as variable-stiffness colonoscopes and ultrathin colonoscopes, or the use of carbon dioxide instead of air for colon insufflation, can reduce the pain caused by colonoscopy. In the future, technical improvements such as wireless capsules or robotic probes, will probably enable to overcome the present concept of colonoscopy, avoiding the use of traditional endoscopes. However, at present the poor attention paid by endoscopists to the pain and discomfort caused by colonoscopy can not be justified. There are several methods to reduce pain and anxiety and to break the trinomial colonoscopy, pain and fear. We must use them.© 2014 Baishideng Publishing Group Inc.

Control of discomfort and pain during colonoscopy is considered to be a high priority by patients. This review of the literature encompasses the main methods for reducing pain and anxiety, to break the trinomial colonoscopy, pain and fear.

“…This may be associated with the superior recovery quality of CO 2 insufflation compared with room air insufflation in colonoscopy (36). Therefore, when compared with air insufflation, CO 2 insufflation is expected to reduce the volume of residual gas following ESD, which is a primary cause of patient discomfort associated with this procedure, and consequently prevent the development of abdominal symptoms and problems associated with ESD (5,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30).…”

“…A pilot study also reported that CO 2 insufflation was safe and effective during colorectal ESD (15). As CO 2 is absorbed faster than air and is rapidly eliminated through the lungs, CO 2 insufflation is expected to reduce residual gas in both the small and large bowels following ESD, and consequently reduce the abdominal symptoms and complications associated with ESD (15,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). However, to the best of our knowledge, detailed and quantitative examinations evaluating the effects of CO 2 insufflation on residual gas in the gastrointestinal tract following colorectal ESD have not been performed.…”

Carbon dioxide insufflation reduces residual gas in the gastrointestinal tract following colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection

Abstract. Quantitative examinations evaluating the effects of CO 2 insufflation on residual gas in the gastrointestinal tract following colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are lacking. The present study aimed to assess whether CO 2 insufflation could decrease the amount of residual gas in the gastrointestinal tract following ESD in patients with colorectal neoplasms. Computed tomography (CT) was used to objectively examine whether CO 2 insufflation during colorectal ESD reduced residual gas levels in the gastrointestinal tract following ESD. A total of 83 patients who underwent colorectal ESD between January and December 2009 at Gifu University Hospital (Gifu, Japan) were enrolled. Following exclusion of 17 patients with chronic pulmonary dysfunction, 66 patients were randomized into a CO 2 insufflation group (n=34) and an air insufflation group (n=32). The level of residual gas and the presence of transmural and free-air leaks following ESD were evaluated in both groups using CT. Transcutaneous CO 2 tension (PtcCO 2 ) and ESD-related complications were also compared between the groups. CT measurements of the major and minor axes of the cecal lumen, and of the terminal ileum diameter, indicated the level of residual gas following ESD to be significantly reduced in the CO 2 insufflation group compared with the air insufflation group (P<0.001). Neither the incidences of ESD-related complications, including post-procedure hemorrhage and air leak, nor the abnormalities in vital signs differed between the groups. No significant between-group differences were identified in the baseline and peak PtcCO 2 levels during ESD or in the median PtcCO 2 following ESD. In conclusion, CO 2 insufflation during colorectal ESD was effective in reducing residual gas in the gastrointestinal tract following ESD. IntroductionColorectal cancer is among the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, and therefore effective and minimally invasive procedures are required to reduce the incidence rate of this malignancy (1,2). More recently, utilization of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) as a minimally invasive treatment for en bloc resection of large superficial neoplasms has become a favored method (3). However, the risk of complication is higher than in gastric ESD as the wall of the colon is thin and operability is limited. In addition, colorectal ESD generally requires a long procedure time due to its technical difficulty (4,5). Therefore, a high level of gas enters the colonic lumen. This is associated with aggravation of subjective symptoms, such as abdominal pain, discomfort and distention, and an increased risk of severe problems, including pneumoderma, pneumothorax, abdominal compartment syndrome and air embolism (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).The safety and efficacy of CO 2 insufflation during ESD for lesions of the esophagus and stomach have been demonstrated in several randomized controlled trials (15-21). A pilot study also reported that CO 2 insufflation was safe and effective during colorectal ES...

“…Хоча деякі пацієнти погоджуються на проведення діагностично-лікуваль-них втручань без медикаментозного забезпечення, використання седативних препаратів пов'язане з вищим рівнем задоволеності пацієнтів [1,2] та якос-ті проведення маніпуляцій [3]. Подолати вищеза-значені ефекти дозволили технологічні досягнення в галузі ендоскопії останніх десятиліть, що поліпшили діагностичні та терапевтичні можливості внаслідок використання більш тонких ендоскопів [11], меншої жорсткості колоноскопів [12], додаткової інсуфля-ції CO 2 [13], методів занурення у воду (під час вико-нання колоноскопії) [14], що дозволило пацієнтам перенести виконання процедур з меншим больовим та психоемоційним навантаженням. Так, протягом останніх 30 років ендоскопічна ретроградна холангі-опанкреатографія (ЕРХПГ) перетворилася у складну процедуру із залученням спеціалізованих операторів, допоміжного обладнання та анестезіологічного пер-соналу.…”

Незважаючи на багаторічний досвід міжнародної анестезіологічної спільноти, седація та анестезія під час ендоскопічних маніпуляцій на шлунково-кишковому тракті залишається фундаментальним аспектом вивчення. У статті наведено аналіз останніх досліджень та публікацій, присвячених особливостям анестезіологічного забезпечення ендоскопічних транспапілярних втручань. Також подані власні результати аналізу проведення тотальних внутрішньовенних анестезій з інтубацією трахеї у пацієнтів, які потребували виконання ендоскопічних маніпуляцій на верхніх відділах шлунково-кишкового тракту, та проаналізовано вплив способу застосованої анестезії на результати ендоскопічних втручань, якість роботи хірургів, задоволеність пацієнтів.
