Article Synopsis
- Bowel gas often disrupts the clarity of abdominal ultrasonography (AUS), leading to the common practice of scheduling AUS before esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
- This study tested whether using carbon dioxide (CO2) during EGD affects the quality of subsequent AUS, evaluating image quality through a non-inferiority test with 30 participants.
- Results showed no significant deterioration in AUS image quality after CO2 insufflation during EGD, suggesting that performing EGD first could optimize scheduling and efficiency for clinical exams.
