Prepare the fluid and heat to between 100°-110° F. Pour the mixture into an enema pail or douche bag. To the tubing attach a large rubber catheter or small rectal tube by means of a glass nozzle. Place the patient on the left side with the knees flexed. Permit the fluid to flow through the tube to expel the air and then make pressure close to the point until ready to introduce it. Lubricate the catheter with vaselin or oil and insert gently eight or nine inches. Do not slip the catheter forward or backward unless absolutely necessary to encourage the fluid to flow, for it only increases the peristalsis and induces the patient to expel the contents which should be retained. Press the tube sufficiently to allow the solution to run very slowly, and occasionally make intermittent stoppage until it has all been given. Upon withdrawing the tube make digital pressure with a soft cloth against the anus for a minute or two. The use of an enema pail in place of a funnel insures more favorable results. Moreover, it is an easier and cleaner method and gives the advantage of having only the tube to take care of. AMOUNTS TO BE GIVEN IN CLEANSING ENEMAS.
