Objectives Early cancer detection is crucial in improving the patients’ quality of life and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) plays a key role in this detection. Many clearing mechanisms may be applied to create good endoscopic visualizations for the upper gastrointestinal tract using mucolytic agents, antifoaming agents, proteolytic enzymes and neutralizers. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of simethicone, N -acetylcysteine (NAC), sodium bicarbonate and peppermint as pre…
