Abstract
In this study, we examined the effectiveness of ionized alkaline water as washing solution for endoscopic lens. We performed 109 cases of esophagogas- troduodenoscopy (56 cases in alkaline ionized water group, and 53 cases in distilled water group) from August to November 2010. Ionized alkaline water and distilled water were prepared as solutions for lens cleaning, and we measured the level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on the lens before and after endoscopic examination.
In ionized alkaline water group, ATP levels of the lens after endoscopic examination were significantly lower than those in distilled water group (P<0.05) . Ionized alkaline water is useful as a washing solution for lens cleaning in esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
