Trial Outcomes & Findings for Repetitive Position Change Improves Gastric Cleanliness for MCE (NCT NCT03514966)

NCT ID: NCT03514966

Last Updated: 2019-07-09

Results Overview

The image cleanliness of gastric cavity of six primary anatomical landmarks of stomach (cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum, and pylorus) were recorded for evaluation. A 4-point grading scale was introduced to define the cleanliness as excellent (no adherent mucus and foam: score 4), good (mild mucus and foam but does not obscure vision: score 3), fair (considerable amount of mucus or foam present precluding a completely reliable examination: score 2) and poor (large amount of mucus or foam residue needing water to clear it: score 1)

Measure
Conventional Group
Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the conventional group will receive no intervention. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively, and undergo MCE examination.
Position Change Group
Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the position change group were instructed by the study nurses to repeatedly change the body position according to a pre-specified protocol for a period of 15 min: in the order of supine position, left lateral position, three cycles of prone, left lateral, supine, and right lateral positions, and finally supine position, with a duration of 1 min for each position. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively before undergoing MCE examination.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Safety of MCCG, or adverse events, defined as symptoms or signs such as abdominal distention, nausea, or vomiting, were monitored closely during the MCCG procedure. Capsule retention (i.e., a capsule endoscope remaining in the gastrointestinal tract for more than two weeks or a capsule endoscope that requires directed intervention or therapy to aid its expulsion) was monitored and followed up for up to two weeks.
