Intraprocedural bowel cleansing with the JetPrep cleansing system improves adenoma detection

Table 2 Bowel preparation scale

0 = Unprepared colon segment. Due to solid stool that cannot be cleared, the mucosa cannot be observed

1 = Some portions of the mucosa of the colon segment can be observed, but other areas are covered by residual staining consisting of residual stool or opaque fluid

2 = Minor amount of residual staining. No stool fragments or small quantities of opaque fluid, but the mucosal surface of the colon segment can be observed well

3 = The entire mucosa of the colon segment can be observed well and has no residual staining

For the purposes of this scale the bowel is divided into 3 portions, including the ascending colon, the transverse colon, and the descending colon. Each region is assigned a value from 0 to 3. The segment scores are summed to yield a total BBPS score ranging from 0 to 9. The minimum BBPS score was 0 and indicated either the poorest quality of bowel preparation or an unprepared colon while a perfectly clean colon without any residual liquid was scored 9 (47).
