Abstract: Objective To investigate the application value of modified water infusion in painless colonoscopy for female patients. Methods Random number table method had been used and patients admitted to Yantai Yeda Hospital from November 2022 to April 2024 were divided into air infusion group(100 cases) and modified water infusion group(100 cases). The patient’s age, body mass index (BMI), Boston Bowel Preparation Scale(BBPS), history of abdominal and pelvic surgery, constipation, time of reaching the caecum, reach back to the anus, polyp detection, situation of the intestinal mucosa scratches and abdominal discomfort after colonoscopy were recorded. The time of reaching the caecum was compared between the two groups. Polyp detection, situation of the intestinal mucosa scratches and abdominal discomfort were compared between the two groups. Results The time of reaching the caecum in modified water infusion group was significantly shorter than that in the air infusion group (Z=-3.868, P<0.001), but there was no statistical difference in polyp detection, situation of the intestinal mucosa scratches and abdominal discomfort. Conclusion In the application of painless colonoscopy in female patients, the modified water infusion can significantly shorten the time of reaching the caecum, reduce the difficulty of colonoscopy, reduce the risk of anesthesia, and is easy to operate and implement, with potential for application.
