  Purpose

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a novel, promising endoscopic technique for achalasia because it is safer and more effective than traditional Heller's myotomy. However, the issue of antibiotic prophylaxis in POEM has evoked considerable controversy recently. Therefore, we conduct this study to elucidate the status of POEM-related bacteremia and procalcitonin levels in order to preliminary observe whether antibiotic prophylaxis is needed.


Condition Intervention
Esophageal Achalasia
 Drug: no antibiotic prophylaxis
Drug: second-generation cephalosporin

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Bacteremia and Procalcitonin Levels in Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Achalasia

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Blood culture positive incidence [ Time Frame: after 12 hours of POEM ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To compare the positive incidence of blood cultures between antibiotic prophylaxis and no antibiotic prophylaxis.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • procalcitonin level [ Time Frame: after 12 hours of POEM ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    To observe the changes of procalcitonin levels after POEM in which no antibiotic is administered.

    To compare the procalcitonin levels between antibiotic prophylaxis and no antibiotic prophylaxis.



Other Outcome Measures:
  • clinical manifestation [ Time Frame: during hospital stay and up to 1 week ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To observe the changes of temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, white blood cell counts, neutrophile granulocyte counts in perioperative period.

Detailed Description:

Objective: To elucidate the status of POEM-related bacteremia and procalcitonin levels in order to preliminary observe whether antibiotic prophylaxis is needed.

Interventions: Patients with achalasia diagnosed by symptoms, endoscopy and barium swallow eligible for POEM are randomized to either use antibiotic prophylactically or not.

Main outcome measurements: Blood culture positive incidence; secondary outcomes are procalcitonin levels, C-reactive protein levels, white blood cell counts and so on.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had indications for antibiotic prophylaxis as determined by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
  • Patients who had received antibiotics for any reason within the previous 7days
