In endoscopy, carbon dioxide (CO2) is frequently utilized for insufflation. As CO2 is swiftly reabsorbed by the body, it has been shown to produce lower abdomen discomfort when inhaled.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a technique that combines the endoscopic view with ultrasound images that are collected from inside the viscera. The visual artifacts brought on by air between the probe and the organ being investigated reduce the diagnostic precision of EUS.
There have been no studies done to date on the use of CO2 during EUS from the point of view of the abdominal discomfort associated with the process and/or the quality of the images collected, despite the fact that CO2 is already widely used by many endoscopists.
Insufflation of carbon dioxide (CO2) during endoscopy is already a common practice. Since CO2 is readily reabsorbed by the body, it has been shown that carbon dioxide insufflator insufflation causes lower abdomen discomfort. At the same time, this gas has no negative side effects.
The Global Carbon Dioxide Insufflator market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The use of carbon dioxide insufflator devices in CT colonography, a helpful screening technique for identifying and diagnosing colorectal cancer in its early stages of development, is widespread in the United States and Europe.
The Product is employed in CT colonography, a minimally invasive colorectal exam used to find lesions like colorectal cancer without having to insert a colonoscope into the patient’s colon.
PROTOCO2L, which automatically controls both the amount of medical carbon dioxide insufflation gas and the insufflation rate, was introduced by Eisai Co., Ltd. It uses carbon dioxide delivered through the rectum using a disposable tube that is only to be used with the Product and is included with the PROTOCO2L Catheter Set to inflate the large intestine.
In order to consistently distend the large intestine and reduce patient discomfort during the procedure, the Product uses carbon dioxide, which is easily absorbed by the bowel. This is expected to enable the widespread use of CT colonography in colorectal examinations and the early detection of colorectal cancer.
