The assessment of colonic water retention prior to double-contrast enema.

Abstract

The detection of colonic water retention prior to double-contrast enema (DCE) was studied in 41 outpatients. Ultrasound examination of the cecum (USC) correctly showed 4 of the 5 patients with water retention as well as all 14 cases with dry colon. Changes in patient's weight or in the number of cleansing enemas were not associated with water retention. The USC seems to offer a rapid and accurate method for the detection of colonic water retention prior to DCE. Aspects of the handling of colonic water retention are also discussed.
