Sodium Bicarbonate Solution Enhances Lens Cleanliness in Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy
Sponsor: Changhai Hospital
Summary
Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) is a noninvasive alternative to conventional gastroscopy with comparable diagnostic accuracy. However, mucus adherence to the capsule lens during examination can severely impair visualization, and MCE lacks an irrigation mechanism for lens cleaning. Current guidelines provide no intra-procedural recommendations for managing lens soiling. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate solution in improving MCE lens cleanliness during gastric examination.

Sodium Bicarbonate Solution
The capsule lens is aimed at the cardia. Use 30ml of 1% sodium bicarbonate solution (food-grade baking soda) to clean the capsule lens.
