Abstract EN
Colonoscopies are often performed in children for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Our study compared two bowel-cleansing solutions: sodium picosulphate, magnesium oxide, and citric acid (Pico-Salax) with liquid magnesium citrate as preparations for colonoscopy.
A retrospective chart review of all patients seen in the Gastroenterology outpatient clinic and who underwent bowel cleansing in preparation for colonoscopy from February to December 2006 was undertaken.
Thirty-two children received Pico-Salax and 36 received liquid magnesium citrate.
The tolerability of both solutions was similar.
Most children in both groups had liquid stools and complete colonoscopies.
Bowel preparation for a colonoscopy can be successfully achieved using either Pico-Salax or liquid magnesium citrate.
