Application of disposable medical enemator in cleaning the large intestine

Objective To evaluate the application of disposable medical enemator in cleaning large intestine. Methods Sixty-five patients admitted to our department in June 2008-June 2009 for fibroscopy were divided into experimental group（n=33） and control group（n=32）. Patients in experimental group underwent enema using disposable enemator and those in control group underwent enema using traditional enema tube. Times of enema performed, adverse effects, cloth contamination, satisfaction degree of nurses and patients of the two devices were compared. Results The times of enema performed, adverse effect, and contaminated cloth were lower while the satisfaction degree of nurses and patients was higher in experimental group than in control group（P＜0.01）. Conclusion The efficiency of disposable medical enemator in cleaning large intestine is rather good and can be widely used in clinical practice.
