Summary

Using Electrolyte Beverages as replacement for water to dissolve PEG(2L plan) in bowel preparation process. The aim of this study is to test whether Electrolyte Beverages as solvents can improve the cleanness of bowel preparation and the satisfaction of patients.

Detailed description

The application of electronic colonoscopy has shown a significant upward trend in the diagnosis, screening, and health check-ups for colorectal diseases. To clean the colon, patients must consume several liters of bowel preparation solution in a short period before the procedure. However, a significant number of patients experience nausea or even vomiting, preventing them from completing the recommended dose, resulting in suboptimal bowel preparation and affecting the colonoscopy process. Therefore, the investigators have designed a protocol that uses sugar-free electrolyte beverages instead of regular drinking water as a solvent for the laxative solution. By improving the taste of the oral solution and increasing the electrolyte content, the investigators aim to enhance patient compliance with colonoscopy preparation and ultimately assess the effectiveness of bowel cleansing.
