Measure
CO2(Carbon Dioxide) Insufflation Regulator
Device: CO2 insufflation regulator CO2 insufflation regulator: The CO2 insufflation regulator is Olympus UCR(Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The device connect the medical gas pipe joints and CO2 cylinders, then the CO2 gas will be pumped into the delivery tube which links to the water bottle until it insufflate the bowel through the SBE(single-balloon enteroscopy).
Air Insufflation Regulator
Room air will be used for insufflation as the Active Comparator arm Air insufflation: The air will be pumped into the delivery tube which links to the water bottle until it insufflate the bowel through the SBE.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 hours after the examination

Acceptability was recorded on a questionnaire given to patients after the examination. Patients assessed the degree of abdominal pain/distention along a 10-cm line of the VAS(visual analogue scale), with the 0-cm point labeled "no pain/distention" on left end and the 10-cm point labeled "very severe pain/distention that cannot be tolerated" on the right end. Patients were asked to score the severity of pain/distention experienced at 1, 2, 3 and 6 hours after the completion of the entire examination.

Timeframe: 10 minutes before/after the examination

To measure abdominal circumference, a tape was placed horizontally around the abdomen at the level of the middle location between the level of anterior superior iliac spine and the lower edge of costal arch, and the measurement was made at the end of a normal expiration before and after the procedure.
