Precautions for enema

Enema is a procedure to clear out toxic substances or symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding in the digestive tract. It is mainly to expel substances from the intestines to avoid further poisoning. This procedure is very painful and requires the patient to be anesthetized at ordinary times and then clean the stomach and intestines. When doing enema, we should choose the appropriate anal tube, enema liquid and speed to avoid symptoms such as intestinal rupture.

1. Enema is not suitable for everyone

Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, pregnancy, acute abdomen, or severe cardiovascular disease should not receive enema. In addition, patients with a history of stroke or other medical conditions are also advised not to have enema, as enema may promote the recurrence of the disease. In order to reduce the discomfort caused by enema, you can put a cushion on your abdomen, or ask someone to hold your waist during the enema, so as to avoid the enema patient feeling insecure.

2. Choose an anal canal with moderate thickness, softness and hardness

Before doing an enema, you must pay attention to choosing an anal tube. When choosing an anal tube, you must choose a tube that is moderate in hardness, softness, and thickness. During the enema process, the tube cannot be repeatedly inserted into the patient's anus, because improper operation may cause discomfort or other diseases to the patient.

3. The liquid used for enema should be selected according to the patient's characteristics

Before performing an enema, be sure to ask or check whether the patient has a history of allergies. Be sure to choose the liquid carefully based on the patient's physical condition. If the patient has too much foreign protein, do not use soapy water for enema at this time.

4. Pay attention to the flow rate and temperature of the liquid during enema

When performing enema, you must pay close attention to the observer's reaction and pay attention to the temperature and flow rate of the liquid. Too high temperature or too fast flow rate will cause certain harm to the patient. If you observe that the patient feels uncomfortable, you must stop the enema action in time.

The above is an introduction to the precautions for enema. Before choosing enema, patients must think about whether their body is suitable. If the body is not suitable, we should not force it, otherwise not only will it not achieve the desired effect, but it will also cause some other diseases.
