For a CT technologist, the start of an enterography exam can be a familiar scene: a busy schedule, prep instructions to explain, and a patient looking at what they're expected to drink before they ever get near the scanner. There are plenty of parts of that process the patient doesn't get to choose. But flavor can be one of them.
Breeza® for small bowel distention is available in two flavor options: Lemon-Lime and Mixed Berry. Instead of simply handing over the prep, a technologist can start with one easy question: “Would you prefer Lemon-Lime or Mixed Berry?”
For CT supervisors and lead technologists looking for practical ways to support the patient experience without adding a complicated new step to the day, that small question can be meaningful.
A Little Choice in a Process With a Lot of Instructions
Think about the enterography exam from the patient's side. They're told when to arrive, what to do before the exam, how and when to drink their prep, and when they'll be scanned. Choosing between Lemon-Lime and Mixed Berry isn't going to transform the exam, but it does give them a say in one part of the process.
That small choice can help patients feel more comfortable and involved and more receptive to drinking instructions when they're asked which flavor they prefer. It's a simple, more human way to begin the prep conversation.
An Easy Choice to Build Into the Workflow
CT supervisors are often balancing two goals at once: supporting a better patient experience while keeping a busy department moving. Offering a flavor choice doesn't need to add a complicated new step.
Both Breeza options are ready-to-drink flavored beverages for small bowel distention. Lemon-Lime and Mixed Berry are each sugar-free and gluten-free and come in the same 16.9 fl oz (500 mL) bottle size.
For the technologist, the difference can be as simple as how the conversation starts. Instead of “Here's what you need to drink,” it's “We have Lemon-Lime and Mixed Berry. Which would you prefer?”
For a CT lead trying to create a consistent, patient-centered experience across the department, that's an easy change for a team to understand and incorporate into its routine. It also can lead to better patient outcomes, by helping patients be able to drink the entire amount of prep.
