| Core Tip |
This is the first study to evaluate the efficacy of a low volume (5 mL) simethicone solution compared to a placebo using the McNally score to calculate the total mucosal visibility for gastroscopy. Our study showed that although earlier studies had favored higher volumes (typically 100 mL), a low volume is still effective as long as adequate premedication time of at least 30 min is allowed. Such a small volume is more suitable for patients with swallowing difficulties and the formulation had excellent patient compliance with no adverse effects. |
