How is enema performed on infants?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

(1) Gather all necessary items and proceed to the bedside. Patient preparation and environmental preparation are the same as for large-volume enemas.
(2) Lubricate the rectal tube, connect the enema bulb to the tube, expel air, and clamp the tube. Insert the tube 7–10 cm into the rectum, then release the clamp to allow the solution to flow in completely. After the enema is complete, inject 5–10 ml of warm water.
(3) Grasp the rectal tube and withdraw it. Instruct the patient to retain the solution for 10–20 minutes before defecating.
