我没吃处方药,只在冬季时服用VitaminD 1000 IU po daily。所以昨天一大早就开始吃清流质饮食了(clear liquid diet)。医生给的清流质食品清单如下:
Juice without pulp(Apple,White grape,White cranberry,Lemonade);
Soda or non-carbonated soft drinks;
Clear broth or bouillon;
Ice pops or Italian ices;
Water;
Kool-Aid(or other fruit favored drinks);
Coffee or tea without milk or creamer;
Plain Jello-O(no added fruit or toppings);
Hard Candies.
但若服用以下药物,需在一周前停服:
Please discontinue aspirin or aspirin containing medications.
Avoid the following herbal supplements: Ginko biloba, ginseng,chamomile and garlic tablets.
Stop Ibuprofen,Naprosyn or orther non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for 3 days.
Tylenol or other medications with acetaminophen are safe to use prior to colonoscopy.
Avoid food with seeds and popcorn for 3days before colonoscopy.
If you have questions about any of your medications, please ask your doctor.
我的血管很细,历来不好扎。在美国生了两个孩子,都是抱着两条紫色手臂回家的。今天我的血管可能更不好扎了,因半夜后就没喝东西了,包括水。这只出不进,血管会更瘪的。护士第一次在右手臂上试了一针没成功。我说那就试一试Left AC site.她一听马上问我是不是health care professional。说她会去找人帮忙。
回复 '忘性大' 的评论 :
做肠镜是moderate sedation(to help you relax and minimize discomfort and anxiety during a procedure. you may be lightly asleep, but you should be easily awakened during the procedure).不是用全麻Anesthesia(deep sedation)的.There are different levels of sedation: Conscious, Moderate and Deep sedation. The biggest difference between the three levels of sedation is this: Some awareness versus complete unawareness.
回复 'KkQq' 的评论 : Using MoviPrep does not require taking Dulcolax tablets. And MoviPrep has electrolytes. Another reason why it is much more expensive might be that it is a name brand prescription item. MiraLAX and Dulcolax are nonprescription items. There is a generic prescription item which is cheaper, but the liquid amount is doubled and the taste is said to be very bad.
