Department of Colorectal Surgery, Royal Melbourne and Melbourne Private Hospitals, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Purpose: Small-volume bowel preparation is better tolerated than 4-liter polyethylene glycol lavage. However, the efficacy of various small-volume bowel preparation agents for colonoscopy has not been clearly defined. This randomized, controlled trial was designed to compare oral sodium phosphate (Fleet) with Picoprep (sodium picosulfate-based preparation).

Dis Colon Rectum
July 2004
Department of Colorectal Surgery, Royal Melbourne and Melbourne Private Hospitals, Melbourne, Australia.
Purpose: Bowel preparation with oral sodium phosphate can cause symptomatic dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. This randomized, controlled trial was designed to evaluate whether carbohydrate-electrolyte (E-Lyte) solution enhanced bowel preparation and improved patient acceptance with oral sodium phosphate.
Methods: A total of 187 consecutive adults undergoing colonoscopy by two endoscopists were randomized to receive two packets of oral sodium phosphate (Fleet Phospho-soda) with or without additional supplement of a carbohydrate-electrolyte (E-Lyte) solution.
