Overview

This article discusses the importance of effective bowel cleansing before colonoscopy, given the increasing demand for colon cancer screening programs. Standard PEG solutions and sodium phosphate compounds are commonly used for bowel preparation, with NaP compounds being avoided in specific patient populations. Improved PEG formulations and patient education can increase compliance with bowel preparation and support colorectal cancer screening efforts.

Colonoscopy Preparation: A Practical Approach for Screening

Colonoscopy is a vital tool for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer. This article discusses the importance of effective bowel preparation for optimal colonoscopy outcomes, particularly in the context of growing colorectal cancer screening programs. The authors review the most commonly used bowel preparation methods, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions and sodium phosphate (NaP) compounds, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. They emphasize the need for well-tolerated preparations that effectively cleanse the bowel without causing significant discomfort or electrolyte imbalances.

A Smooth Journey: Preparing for Colonoscopy

This article provides practical advice for individuals undergoing colonoscopy, highlighting the importance of choosing the right bowel preparation method. The authors recommend newer PEG formulations with improved palatability and reduced volume to enhance patient compliance and optimize colonoscopy outcomes.
