Abstract
Objective To explore the role of defoamer enema combined with bellym assage on the colonic preparation in elderly patients with constipation. Methods One hundred patients were divided into two groups by random number table method, the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases each. Patients in the control group were told to drink polyethyleneglycolelectrolytesolution 3 000 ml. Patients in the experimental group were told to drink polyethyleneglycolelectrolytesolution 2 000 ml. After medicinepre paration, the patients of experimental group were given defoamer enema. After that, they were undertaken counterclockwise massage for10 mins, then massageing clockwise until defecation. Results 14 patients with oral catharsis drugs failed to give up check, 46 cases of intervention group and 40 cases of control group finally complete intestinal preparation and colonoscopy. Intervention group patients after bowel preparation before the incidence of abdominal distension, abdominal pain were 6.52% (3/46), 8.70%(4/46), lower than the control group 65.00% (26/40), 25.00% (10/40), the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 32.74, 4.17, P< 0.05). Percent of pass was 65.22%(30/46) for intestinal preparation intervention group, significantly higher than the control group 35.00% (14/40), the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 7.82, P< 0.05). Intervention group intestinal cleanliness ratings of Ottawa total score was 4.00 (4.00), which was lower than the control group7.00 (4.50), the difference was statistically significant (Z= 3.80, P< 0.05). Endoscopic check process, the intervention group arrived at the terminal ileum and mirror back time were 7.00 (3.00) and 9.00 (1.00) min, were less than 9.00(6.50) and 10.50 (3.00) min in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (Z= 2.09, 4.53, P< 0.05). Intervention group of colons polyps detection rate was 67.39% (31/46), higher than that of control group 30.00% (12/40), the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 11.97, P< 0.05). Conclusions The bowel preparation with defoamer enema will enhance the intestinal tract cleaness and the detection rate of polyps in elderly patients with constipation.
