From the Guidelines
For a siphon enema, 1-1.5 liters of liquid must be prepared. The error in gastric sounding equipment is the large intestinal tube, which should be a gastric tube instead. Fibrogastroduodenoscopy is contraindicated for a patient with gastric ulcer who has "coffee density" vomiting and hemodynamic instability. For a patient with nausea and vomiting after poor-quality food, gastric lavage should be assigned first. For an unconscious patient who took sleeping pills, tracheal intubation and gastric lavage is the appropriate first aid. For a 60-year-old patient with cardiovascular pathology and constipation, a hypertonic enema from 100 ml of 10% sodium chloride solution is preferred. For atonic intestinal impassibility, a siphon enema is necessary. The temperature for a cleansing enema should be 38-39°C. FGDS can be used for a patient with "coffee-thickness" vomiting for urgent indications, regardless of meal times. For a hypertonic enema for intestinal atony, 10% sodium chloride solution should be used. Planned gastroduodenoscopy is performed 6-8 hours after the last meal. Preparation for sigmoidoscopy must include giving cleansing enemas in the evening and morning. When conducting a cleansing enema, the tip is first inserted toward the umbilicus. For a siphon enema, the tip is inserted parallel to the spine. If a patient develops cough and cyanosis during gastric probe insertion, the probe should be removed immediately. For Zimnitsky test, 8 containers should be prepared. For a patient with anal itching, feces examination for helminth eggs should be assigned first. General urine test should be collected in the morning after waking up. Preparation for rectoromanoscopy includes all mentioned measures: two cleansing enemas the evening before, two cleansing enemas the morning of the study, and a diet 3-4 days before excluding fresh vegetables, fruits, black bread, and cabbage.
Some key points to consider:
- The amount of liquid for a siphon enema is crucial, and 1-1.5 liters is the recommended amount.
- For patients with gastric ulcers, fibrogastroduodenoscopy is contraindicated in cases of "coffee density" vomiting and hemodynamic instability.
- Gastric lavage is the first line of treatment for patients with nausea and vomiting after consuming poor-quality food.
- Tracheal intubation and gastric lavage are the appropriate first aid measures for an unconscious patient who has taken sleeping pills.
- A hypertonic enema with 10% sodium chloride solution is preferred for a 60-year-old patient with cardiovascular pathology and constipation.
- Siphon enema is necessary for atonic intestinal impassibility.
- The temperature for a cleansing enema should be 38-39°C.
- FGDS can be used for urgent indications, regardless of meal times, in patients with "coffee-thickness" vomiting.
- 10% sodium chloride solution should be used for a hypertonic enema in cases of intestinal atony.
- Planned gastroduodenoscopy is performed 6-8 hours after the last meal.
- Preparation for sigmoidoscopy must include giving cleansing enemas in the evening and morning.
- When conducting a cleansing enema, the tip is first inserted toward the umbilicus.
- For a siphon enema, the tip is inserted parallel to the spine.
- If a patient develops cough and cyanosis during gastric probe insertion, the probe should be removed immediately.
- For Zimnitsky test, 8 containers should be prepared.
- For a patient with anal itching, feces examination for helminth eggs should be assigned first.
- General urine test should be collected in the morning after waking up.
- Preparation for rectoromanoscopy includes all mentioned measures: two cleansing enemas the evening before, two cleansing enemas the morning of the study, and a diet 3-4 days before excluding fresh vegetables, fruits, black bread, and cabbage, as recommended by 1.
According to the latest guidelines, cleansing enemas should be given in the evening and morning before sigmoidoscopy, and a diet should be prescribed 3-4 days before, excluding fresh vegetables and fruits, as stated in 1.
In terms of bowel preparation, split-dose bowel preparation is recommended, and the selection of a bowel preparation regimen should consider the individual's medical history, medications, and prior colonoscopy results, as suggested by 1.
For patients undergoing colonoscopy, high-definition colonoscopes should be used, and cecal intubation rates should be measured, with a target rate of 90%, as recommended by 1.
Overall, these recommendations prioritize morbidity, mortality, and quality of life outcomes, and are based on the latest evidence from 1 and 1.
