It begins in right iliac region when it joins the ileum of the small intestine.
The length is approximately 5 ft. (152cm) long and is greater in diameter than the small bowel (2.5 in diameter).

It is a Radiographic study of the large intestine.
Purpose:to study radiographically the form and function of the large intestine, as well as to detect any abnormal conditions.

Colitis caused by many factors including
bacterial infection, diet, stress, and other environmental conditions.

resulting from herniation of the inner wall of the colon.

High – density Barium Sulfate It is excellent for use in double-contrast studies of the alimentary tract in which uniform coating of the lumen is required.
Air contrast Carbon dioxide may also be used because it is more rapidly absorbed than nitrogen of air when evacuation.

1. Describe the tip insertion to pt. 2. Place pt. in sims position. (pt.
should lie on the left side, with the right leg flexed at the knee and hip
3. Shake and inspect the enema container to provide good mixture. Allow the barium to flow through the tubing and from tip to remove any air in the system
![Page 30: Barium Enema](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050622/56814f12550346895dbca402/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4. Wearing gloves, coat enema tip with water-soluble lubricant.(KY jelly or any sterile lubricant)
5. On expiration, direct enema tip toward the umbilicus proximally 1 to 1.5 inches
6. After initial insertion, advance up superiorly and slightly anteriorly. Do not force enema tip.
![Page 31: Barium Enema](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050622/56814f12550346895dbca402/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
7. Tape tubing in place to prevent slippage. Do not inflate unless directed by radiologist
8. Ensure IV pole/enema bag is no more than 24 inches (60cm) above the table. Ensure tubing stopcock is in the closed position and no barium flows into the pt.

Single – contrastutilizes only a positive contrast medium.
Double – contrastDifference is that in an examination there is both air and barium.

A. In which the entire colon is filled with a barium suspension.
B.Patient evacuates the barium and immediately returns to the fluoroscopic table for injection of air or other gaseous contrast into the colon.
![Page 38: Barium Enema](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050622/56814f12550346895dbca402/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The barium and the air are instilled in a single procedure as compared to the two-stage which reduces time and radiation to patient.
