A cleansing enema can be either large-or small-volume. It acts by stimulating peristalsis by instilling a solution or irritating the mucosa of the colon. Solutions used for cleansing enemas are tap water, normal saline, and a soapsuds solution. The amount of solution instilled varies with the patientâs age. Because infants and children are at risk for fluid and electrolyte imbalances, they should only receive normal saline enemas. Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is an isotonic solution, so it does not pull electrolytes from the body.
An enema is a procedure involving the injection of liquid (mostly water) into the rectum in order to expel wastes and gas. This involves using an elevated bag of water and a tube to fill your colon with water, enough to stimulate contraction of your colon walls. The treatment forces your colon to expel waste.
