Effect of Povidone-iodine Washing of Gastrointestinal Mucosa or Taking Proton Pump Inhibitors on Bacteremia after Endoscopic Ultrasonography-guided Fine Needle Aspiration

摘要

Objective:Few studies have evaluated the risk of bacteremia and infectious complications after endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Therefore, we aimed to study the frequency of bacteremia and search for a method to potentially reduce bacterial infection after EUS-FNA. We also investigated the effect of taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) before examination on the occurrence of bacteremia.
