Proper preparation
The technique decides: water temperature, volume and speed of administration, position - the procedure is effective and non-traumatic; The medical staff is polite and privacy is complete. Before TRUS/biopsy of the prostate, an enema is a mandatory standard for the quality of visualization and prevention of complications; the schedule is synchronized with the study. Home alternatives often “don’t work”—professional training is more reliable.
Indications
- postoperative wounds - regular dressings before removal of sutures;
- functioning drainages (nephrostomy, cholecystostomy, wound) - planned replacement and care;
- preparing the intestines for studies, operations and procedures;
- constipation as prescribed by a doctor - one-time emptying.
Small procedures make a big difference
Wound healing and the functioning of the drainage depend on regular professional care: dressing is an assessment of the dynamics with a doctor's eye (the nurse escalates any doubts to the doctor), and timely replacement of the drainage tube prevents obstruction and infection - carriers of nephrostomy and cholecystostomy are treated on a schedule without hospitalization. Enemas are performed delicately and technically: proper preparation is the key to an informative colonoscopy and a smooth operation.
