Nursing Experience of Retention Enema with Glycerin Suppository via Pediatric Catheter in an Elderly Patient with Constipation
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a case of elderly constipation patient treated with retention enema using glycerin suppository via pediatric catheter combined with TCM syndrome differentiation-based nursing. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to long-term constipation accompanied by abdominal distension and difficulty in urination. The TCM syndrome differentiation was identified as qi stagnation and deficiency of qi and blood. During the nursing process, the above-mentioned innovative enema method was used for intervention, and combined with emotional care, dietary guidance and other measures. Eventually, the patient defecated smoothly, abdominal distension was relieved, and the mood was stable. This method is safe and effective, with good patient tolerance, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
