Application Value of Compound Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Powder in Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy

Objective To evaluate the application value of compound polyethylene glycol-electrolyte powder in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods 100 patients who underwent colonoscopy in our hospital between September 2010 and September2013 were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 50 in each group. Before colonoscopy, the patients received oral administration of 25% magnesium sulfate, while those in the observation group were given compound polyethylene glycol-electrolyte powder. We observe the clinical effects of the two groups. Results The intestinal cleaning rate(92% vs 70%) was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group, P0.05; while the adverse reaction rate(12% vs 44%) was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group, P 0.05. Conclusion Compound polyethylene glycol-electrolyte powder applied in bowel preparation before colonoscopy shows good effect in intestinal cleaning, in addition, this method is safe and simple, therefore it is worthy of clinical promotion.
