Hospital enemas you have heard of?

Outside barium enemas in Radiology, I do not think you could find an enema bag in a hospital these days.

I have heard of SSE(soapsuds enema) and 3H(High, Hot, and a H*ll of alot) enemas. Anyone hear of any other enemas you could receive in a hospital maybe even a punishment enema? In the olden days I have heard of weird sh*t (pardon pun) in Institutional Hospitals.

We still have enema equipment in the hospital. We have the 1500cc cleansing enema bucket set. The bags that were closed at the top were better but this bucket does the same thing. Not as common as years ago, we still give the best type of enema for patients who need them. Sometimes the pt. asks for a particular kind, sometimes a specific type is ordered. All enemas require a MD order and fleets and dulcolax suppositories are still used as well.

I have an LPN friend that works in a hospital in VA. She said one older doctor will sometimes order an M&M enema and the kitchen has to fix the solution and bring it up to them on the floor. She said they used disposible plastic enema bags and tubes.

Some nurses refer to a "Brown Cow" which is likely an M&M enema. Undoubtedly this is very purgative mixture.

Thanx for the replies. I have heard of an M&M enema but never had one.. Anyone else with more info? thanx

I tried a M&M enema the other day. It was not explosive but it did clean me out. next time I need to let it cool off a little more. It was a little hot.

My job in the hospital quite often takes me to the radiology dept. for anesthesia with prostate-brachytherapy. the prostate is puntured with a lot of needles (usually 25-40) and radioactive Iodine-nodes are left behind. The needles are tracked with an echo-probe which is placed inside the pat. rectum> Had multiple occasions where patients went through 1-2 enemas before the procedure to clean out the rear end..

The equipment used there is usually the 1.5L open bucket..

other then that I havent seen any but the fleet stuff arround.
