Article Synopsis
- Insufflation with carbon dioxide (CO2) during endoscopies leads to less abdominal discomfort post-examination compared to using air, as CO2 is absorbed quickly in the intestines.
- The study assessed the effects of CO2 on pain and abdominal distension in 309 patients undergoing either ileo-colonoscopy (I) or ileo-colonoscopy plus gastroscopy (I+G).
- Results showed that patients receiving CO2 experienced significantly lower abdominal pain and less increase in waist circumference compared to those receiving air, highlighting the benefits of using CO2 for reducing discomfort during these procedures.
