- Endoscopy is widely used for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal issues in children, but bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract can hinder the clarity of the visual field during the procedure.
- Using defoamers helps reduce these bubbles, improving preparation quality and increasing the detection rate of diseases in children undergoing endoscopy.
- Despite various studies on gastrointestinal preparation with defoamers, there's no standard protocol, and existing research has limitations like small sample sizes and ongoing debates about the best usage practices, highlighting the need for further investigation.
