Technology Status Evaluation Reports

Technology status evaluation reports provide a review of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Reports are based on an evaluation of medical literature and a search of the MAUDE (U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health) database to identify the reported adverse events of a given technology. When financial guidance is indicated, the most recent coding data and list prices at the time of publication are provided. Technology status evaluation reports are scientific reviews based on expert consensus and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

The members of the ASGE Technology Committee provide ongoing conflict of interest (COI) disclosures throughout the development and publication of all documents in accordance with the ASGE Policy for Managing Declared Conflicts of Interests.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Customer Support at Info@asge.org.

The following information is intended only to provide general information and not as a definitive basis for diagnosis or treatment in any particular case. It is very important that you consult your doctor about your specific condition.

The use of carbon dioxide in gastrointestinal endoscopy 2016

Nov 15, 2016, 19:12
Adequate distension of the GI lumen is required for safe advancement of endoscopes and for careful visualization of the mucosa. Room air, which is widely used for GI luminal distension, possesses the advantages of universal availability and low cost. However, room air is poorly absorbed by the GI tract and is largely evacuated through belching or passage of flatus. To minimize postprocedural abdominal distention, endoscopists commonly suction out as much air as possible after completion of the procedure and immediately before removal of the endoscope. Despite this practice, older studies indicated that 50% of patients reported pain after completion of colonoscopy, with 12% of patients describing the pain as severe, even at 24 hours after the procedure.1 Despite improvements in endoscope technology and techniques leading to shorter procedure times with lower amounts of air insufflated, some patients still experience postprocedure pain related to distension. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is rapidly absorbed by the GI mucosa, driving increased interest in its use as an insufflation agent for endoscopic procedures. The ASGE has previously published a Technology Status Evaluation Report on methods of luminal distention, including CO2, for colonoscopy alone.2 This document discusses CO2 as an insufflation agent for all endoscopic procedures within the GI tract.
