    Introduction: Colonoscopy is the technique of choice for the study of colon鈥檚 disease and in certain pathologies a therapeutic option. Colon insufflation normally performed using ambient air which led this technique to be painful. Insufflation with carbon dioxide (CO2) causes less abdominal pain.Objective: To evaluate, the efficacy and safety of CO2 insufflation during colonoscopy.Material and Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled trial (Phase IIb) was performed. Universe: all patients with indication of colonoscopies that met the selection criteria and assist to the Minimal Access Surgery National Centre in Havana in the period from October to December 2014. The sample consisted of a total of 100 patients over 18 years of which 50 were subject to the air insufflation technique and 50 with CO2 insufflation. Results: Abdominal pain after colonoscopy was significantly lower in the group that received the CO2 insufflation. Hypoxemia and propofol doses used were similar in both groups. CO2 average pressure values were higher in the case of the CO2 group during the procedure but within the normal range; without clinical complications. Conclusions: The use of CO2 in colonoscopy causes significantly less pain in the first hour. Its use in patients with deep sedation is safe and the technique is not altered and doesn鈥檛 have a time reduction.聽Keywords: Colonoscopy, carbon dioxide, efficacy, safety, clinic trial, abdominal pain, hypoxemia, sedation.</p

    Normal 0 21 false false false ES X-NONE X-NONE Introducci贸n: el Es贸fago de Barrett es considerado una condici贸n premaligna de causa a煤n desconocida. La presencia de displasia en estos tejidos incrementa el riesgo de desarrollo de c谩ncer de es贸fago. La baja efectividad del tratamiento farmacol贸gico y las altas tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad de la esofagectom铆a ha contribuido al desarrollo del tratamiento endosc贸pico. Objetivo: mostrar las diferentes t茅cnicas endosc贸picas que se usan en el tratamiento del Es贸fago de Barrett. Material y M茅todos: se realiz贸 una revisi贸n bibliogr谩fica sobre el tema a trav茅s de la consulta de bases de datos de publicaciones biom茅dicas (PubMed, Hinari, SeCimed, SCiELO, Ebsco, Google, LIS Cuba), para acceder a art铆culos fundamentalmente de los 煤ltimos 5 a帽os. Desarrollo: se exponen las diferentes modalidades terap茅uticas endosc贸picas, entre ellas: Coagulaci贸n con Arg贸n plasma, Electrocoagulaci贸n multipolar, L谩ser terapia, Crioterapia, Radiofrecuencia, Terapia Fotodin谩mica, Resecci贸n mucosa endosc贸pica (REM) y Disecci贸n submucosa endosc贸pica (DSE). Todas usadas en el tratamiento del Es贸fago de Barrett, haciendo 茅nfasis en su efectividad y efectos secundarios. Conclusiones: la Radiofrecuencia y la Resecci贸n endosc贸pica son en la actualidad las variantes endosc贸picas con mejores resultados en el tratamiento del Es贸fago de Barrett. 聽Palabras Clave: Es贸fago de Barrett, displasia, modalidades terap茅uticas endosc贸picas, tratamiento endosc贸pico. <!--[endif] --
