An Essential Component for Successful Virtual Colonoscopy
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
Automated CO2 insufflation maintains a constant intraluminal pressure and an optimally distended bowel. |

|
|
Even in patients with a redundant sigmoid, as shown here, PROTOCO2L delivers consistent insufflation throughout the length of the colon. |

| VC RESEARCHERS AGREE: Automated Insufflation Using E-Z-EM's PROTOCO2L Can Yield Equivalent or Even Superior Distention to Manual Insufflation. |
|
| Automated CO2 insufflation is much better tolerated than room air. Diffusion of CO2 through the colonic wall is extremely rapid compared with air, diminishing the presence of ileocecal valve reflux. |

|
|
| Average distention was significantly better in the automated CO2 group with only one collapsed segment, versus 17 in the manually insufflated group. |

|
| Automated CO2 insufflation demonstrates improved distention compared to manual insufflation, particularly in segments that are prone to collapse. |

| Advantages to Automated Insufflation with CO2 |
| |
|
Patient Comfort & Safety |
|
Carbon dioxide is readily absorbed and minimizes post-procedure discomfort. Redundant pressure relief valves and automatic flow stop features help protect against over-insufflation. |
| |
|
Consistent Insufflation |
|
Regulated pressure gently distends the colon and then helps maintain constant, adequate insufflation for the duration of the study. |
| |
|
Enhanced Productivity |
|
Automated operation helps reduce staff time during the insufflation process. |
