Summary

For patients with inadequate bowel preparation, current guidelines recommend either remedial measures or rescheduling the endoscopy, but previous surveys have found that approximately 30% of patients do not follow medical advice to reschedule the examination if it is rescheduled, while those who take remedial measures on the same day are more compliant, so remedial measures may be a better option than rescheduling the examination. As for the remedy regimen, it has been demonstrated that oral PEG is superior to the enema regimen in terms of bowel cleansing, but PEG is very resistant to be taken by most patients due to its poor taste and the larger doses required, resulting in poor bowel preparation and poor compliance. In contrast, oral mannitol has the advantages of small dose and good taste, and patient compliance may be higher.

Conditions

• Bowel Cleansing; Good Taste

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Mannitol	Mannitol, as an osmotic laxative, increases the colloid osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen, which results in a hyperosmolar state in the intestine, thus allowing easy elimination of stools.
DRUG	Polyethylene glycol electrolyte	Polyethylene glycol electrolyte is an inert polymer that cannot be absorbed by the body itself. Due to its high permeability, it retains water in the intestinal tract, increasing the amount of fluid retained in the intestine and softening the stool, thus acting as a diuretic.
