Abstract:To explore the effects of different doses of Simethicone on the efficacy of gastroscopy examination.?Methods?246 patients who underwent gastroscopy from August 2016 to January 2017 were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into three groups (A, B and C group, n = 82) according to the random number table method. A group with oral 200 mg of Simethicone; B group with oral administration of 400 mg of Simethicone; C group with oral administration of 600 mg of Simethicone. The visual acuity of the gastroscope, the amount of anesthetic drug and the time of examination were observed and compared in the three groups. The adverse reactions of the three groups were compared.?Results?With the increase of the dose of Simethicone, the excellent rate of visual field of electronic gastroscope is on the rise. In group C, the proportion of endoscopic visual field clarity was 81.71%, which was significantly higher than 12.20% in group A and 43.90% in group B. The data were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The C-visibility of the patients in group C was significantly lower than that in group A and B, and the data were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The excellent and good visual field of patients in group C was 96.34%, which was significantly higher than that in group A (42.69%, and 85.36% in group B). The data were statistically significant (P < 0.05). With the increase in the dose of Simethicone, the amount of Propofol used and the time of endoscopy showed a gradual decline. The amount of Propofol used in group C (146.23 ± 1.72) mg and the time of endoscopy (266.55 ± 3.27) min were significantly lower than those in group A and B. The data were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The overall incidence of adverse reactions in group B was 2.44%, which was significantly lower than that in group A and 17.08% in group C. The data were statistically significant (P < 0.05).?Conclusions?Oral Simethicone before electronic gastroscopy can significantly reduce the amount of foam in the esophagus and stomach, improve the clarity of the gastroscope, and significantly reduce the anesthetic and examination time, and the higher the dose, the higher the clarity, the anesthetic and the time of examination. The less. However, high dose of Simethicone can significantly increase the possibility of adverse reactions in patients. Therefore, considering the various factors, 400 mg Simethicone is more suitable for clinical application, which can improve the visual field clarity and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
