Safety and effectiveness of large-volume enema solutions

Interesting article in the AJN:

http://www.appliednursingresearch.org/article/S0897-1897(04)00080-1/fulltext

The researchers PAID volunteers (men and women) to take one of three large volume enemas and reported out patient comfort and how much solution was retained (volume in minus what came out!). The setting is interesting, and the methodology fascinating - gave me a woody! Time to move to Arlington, TX, and volunteer at the UTA hospital for a special mission like this!!!!! Things are BIGGER in Texas, including their enemas!

Thanks for posting this! — The article is from 2004, and the discussion includes suggestions for further research. I wonder if any more reports have been published.

Link does not seem to work. Can you check it out? Tx

The link doesn't work, but if you cut the entire url and paste it into the browser, it will work.

Sorry all, I'm not smart enough to activate the link, but the URL is correct and works. Check out the PubMed site for all scientific literature - sometimes the articles are free, and enema articles abound!
