There is an Invaluable Alternative to Patients Objections of Oral Lavage for Colon Preparation.
Our education has taught us Colonoscopy examinations are vital in supporting a comprehensive physical evaluation leading to early detection or prevention of Colon Cancer and other Colon Health issues.
Statistics confirm that in 2009 there were 146,970 new cases of Colon Cancer diagnosed along with 49,920 associated deaths. Regular colonoscopy exams are indicated after age 40.
Balanced electrolyte solutions and diet/cathartic preparations for Oral Colonic Lavage has become the most widely prescribed traditional methods for preparing the Colon for Colonoscopy examinations. Many existing published studies provide evidence of objectionable discomfort for the patient during the Colon preparation process. The study indicates the patients unwillingness to repeat the process. Patients report symptoms of uncomfortable fullness, nausea, cramps, vomiting, accidental discharge, objections to associated requirements of strict diet controlled the day before examination.
Discovering a procedure that eliminates all of the objectionable elements of Colon Preparation is vital to the process of Colon Health Care. Such a discovery will dramatically increase the incidences of a colonoscopy examinations leading to a dramatic reduction in the incidence of Colon Cancer and other Colon Health Conditions.
PIE* Medical International, Inc. has discovered technology that provides an invaluable alternative to traditional methods of Colon Preparation. The process has eliminated the objectionable elements of Colon Prep. It is comfortable, quick, easy and safe for overburdened time of busy lifestyles or immobility.
Clinical studies have concluded there is no significant difference in the cleanliness of the Colon using traditional methods or the PIE* Prep. Re: Clinical Study-(Per Rectal Pulsed Irrigation Evacuation versus Per-Oral Lavage Trial, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy copy, 1991, Chang, Ericsson, Shandler, Coy and Moody.
The Pulsing Water Therapy™ Procedure is accomplished in the Physician’s Clinic, Hospital or in the home of the Patient the morning of the Colonoscopy Examination in less than 30 minutes. It allows an evening meal (12 hours prior to examination) of certain food types combined with a mild purgative, i.e., Milk of Magnesia the evening before examination and does not provide the undesirable discomfort or associated patient objections of traditional methods.
Preparation for Colonoscopy for People with Paralysis or Advanced Age.
Traditional methods of Colon preparation for immobile patients in advanced age or paralysis presents difficult choices for the Physician. Patients in this category are not physically able to make the necessary and frequent trips to a restroom associated with Oral Lavage. Our PIE* procedure has been evaluated in numerous clinical studies using paralyzed patients. Conclusions provide evidence that the PIE* Prep is safe and most effective for cleaning the Colon for people in this category. Currently, the VA is performing a clinical study in New York State. Current results of this study indicates this process to be a better procedure for Colon Preparation with this population.
