Brief Summary

Ap¬plications of CO2 insufflation for endoscopic procedures have been reported for the performance of routine colonoscopy, small bowel endoscopy, endoscopic retro¬grade cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic submucosal dissection in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. These studies showed that CO2 insufflation reduces the post-procedural abdominal distension and pain without CO2 retention and adverse events. However, there has been no report on the safety and efficacy of CO2 insufflation in PEG procedures in adults or in children. In the present study, we would like to evaluate by randomized controlled trial: the safety of the CO2 insufflation during PEG and the inhibi¬tory effects of CO2 insufflation on bowel distension after PEG.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To asses the change in pCO2 before and after the procedure

    Perform i-stat measurement (capillary pCO2 value in mmHg)

    Time 0- (before the procedure) and at time 30 minutes (approximate end of procedure)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To asses the change in waist circumference comparing CO2 and air insufflation

    at four different time points: at time 0 (just before the procedure), 10 minutes later, 120 minutes later and 240 minutes later

Study Arms (4)

Single steep arm- CO2 insufflation

EXPERIMENTAL

PEG will be performed by single step technique and CO2 will be insufflated during the endoscopy

Other: CO2

Single steep arm- air insufflation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PEG will be performed by single step technique and air will be insufflated during the endoscopy

Other: air

Pull technique arm- CO2 insufflation

EXPERIMENTAL

PEG will be performed by pull technique and CO2 will be insufflated during the endoscopy

Other: CO2

Pull technique arm- air insufflation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PEG will be performed by pull technique and air will be insufflated during the endoscopy

Other: air

Interventions
