Helicobacter pylori test by gastric insufflation

The detection of H. pylori by insufflation is a common method.

The detection of H. pylori by insufflation determines whether there is infection by detecting the presence of metabolites of H. pylori in exhaled air. It has good accuracy. It can detect the presence of H. pylori more sensitively, providing an important basis for diagnosis. Moreover, compared with some invasive methods such as endoscopy, the insufflation test is relatively mild and causes less discomfort to patients. The patient can simply blow as required, making it easier to accept.

In addition, the gastric insufflation test for H. pylori usually produces results within a short time after completion of the test, helping doctors to formulate treatment plans or further diagnostic assessments in a timely manner. If the results are in doubt or need to be re/confirm/ied, the insufflation test can be repeated at appropriate intervals, and the results are reproducible.
