Enhanced Diagnostic Yield with Prolonged Small Bowel Transit Time during Capsule Endoscopy
BACKGROUND The effect of small bowel transit time (SBTT) on diagnostic yield during capsule endoscopy (CE) has not been previously evaluated. Our study aim was to assess the effect of SBTT on the likelihood of detecting intestinal pathology during CE. METHODS We reviewed collected data on CE studies performed at Johns Hopkins Hospital from January 2006 to June 2007. In patients investigated f...
متن کاملVideo Capsule Endoscopy: A Tool for the Assessment of Small Bowel Transit Time
PURPOSE Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a procedure that uses a wireless camera to take pictures of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A wireless motility capsule (WMC) of a similar size has been developed, which measures pH, pressure, and temperature and can be used to assess regional and total GI transit times. VCE could also potentially be used as a tool for measuring small bowel transit time...
متن کاملPhysical activity during video capsule endoscopy correlates with shorter bowel transit time
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is limited by reliance on bowel motility for propulsion, and lack of physical activity has been proposed as a cause of incomplete studies. Our aim was to prospectively investigate the association between physical activity and VCE bowel transit. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ambulatory outpatients receiving VCE were eligible for the study. A pedo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Prucalopride on Small Bowel Transit Time in Hospitalized Patients Undergoing Capsule Endoscopy
Background The inpatient status is a well-known risk factor for incomplete video capsule endoscopy (VCE) examinations due to prolonged transit time. We aimed to evaluate the effect of prucalopride on small bowel transit time for hospitalized patients undergoing VCE. Methods We included all hospitalized patients who underwent VCE at a tertiary academic center from October 2011 through Septembe...
متن کاملCapsule Endoscopy
Since first described in 2000 [1], capsule endoscopy has established itself as a noninvasive investigative modality of the gastrointestinal tract. It is used as a first-line investigation to image a variety of diseases of the small bowel. These include common conditions, such as coeliac disease, and rare diseases, such as familial adenomatous polyposis, both discussed in detail in this special ...
