BaE Flashcards
BaE Psychological prep
Orientation
Breathing
Cooperation
Wearing of surgical gown
BaE Physiological prep for outpatient
Dulcolax suppository/ castor oil (60cc for adult, 30cc for child)
BaE Indications
- Colonic diverticulum
- Polyps
- Obstruction
- Hirsprung disease (mega colon)
- Fistula
- Intussusception (ileu-ceccal)
Visual examination of the large intestine and other hallow organs
Endoscopy
Materials used during BaE
a. Enema set
b. Forceps- for clumping
c. IV stand
d. Surgical/masking tape
e. KY jelly
Approx. 1L of barium is introduced via enema set until the entire segment is filled (extrinsic pathology)
BaE Signle Barium
Small amount of barium is introduced enough to fill the splenic flexure to show mucosal pattern
BaE Fractionated 1st Stage
Introduction of barium to fully fill the segment and conventional projections are taken
BaE Fractionated 2nd Stage
Used to pump air in the colon
Colonic insufflator
Performed after post-evacuation where residual barium remains in the splenic flexure to demo. mucosal pattern of intestine (ulceration, polyps)
BaE Double contrast
Pt position during cath insertion in BaE
Sims position (LAO) or Left Lat posn
BaE
Tip of catheter is (1) and inserted into the (2) and anchored with (3)
- lubricated
- rectum
- surgical/ masking tape
Actual observation of Ba flow and proper insertion of cath

(BaE Overhead Technique Filling Phase)
Catheter is removed and patient is sent to the CR to evacuate the CM this can be preceded by double contrast study upon physician’s request residual barium must be in the splenic flexure
