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.
When placing the enema soap directly into water, just drop it in the enema bag and let the soap sit in the enema bag for one minute, maybe two minutes. Make a milky solution in water and then take the bar of enema soap out of the water.IDEO TRANSCRIPT: How to use the made-for-enema soaps in your enema solution: Basically, you want to get the equivalent of 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of liquid soap per quart of water. Thatâs just a rough estimate. Taking an enema is an art, not a science.
