Effects of Different Intervention Methods on Intestinal Cleanliness in Children Undergoing Colonoscopy

Abstract

Objective. To explore the effects of different intervention methods on intestinal cleanliness in children undergoing colonoscopy. Methods. 61 children who underwent colonoscopy in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were randomly divided into group A (n = 21), group B (n = 30), and group C (n = 10). The children in the three groups were intervened in different ways before the colonoscopy. Group A received a long-handled Kaiselu +1 cathartic intervention, while group B received a long-handled Kaiselu +2 cathartic intervention, and group C received an enema plus one cathartic intervention. The patients in the three groups were given the same diet before the examination until the examination was completed. The time-related indexes, cleanliness, adverse reactions, tolerance, and adaptability of the three groups under different dietary interventions and cleaning methods were evaluated. Results. The first defecation time in group C was lower than that in group A and group B, the hospital stay was longer than that in group A and group B ($p>0.05$), and the colonoscopy time in group C was shorter than that in group A and group B ($p<0.05$). The BBPS score of group C was (2.10 ± 0.32), which was significantly higher than that of group A (1.16 ± 0.19) and group B (1.77 ± 0.18) ($p<0.05$). The BBPS scores of children with liquid food in the three groups were significantly higher than those of common food, and the BBPS scores of liquid food and common food in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B ($p<0.05$). The incidence of adverse reactions in group C was 20.00%, which was significantly lower than 33.33% in group A and 23.33% in group B ($p<0.05$). The proportion of grade I in group C was 50.00%, which was significantly higher than 38.10% in group A and 43.33% in group B ($p<0.05$). Conclusion. Children undergoing colonoscopy take preintestinal preparation under different diets and intervention methods. The cleanliness of liquid food and enema + one-time laxative one day before colonoscopy is the best, which can significantly reduce adverse reactions and increase the acceptability and adaptability of children. It is worthy of clinical application.
