| | Barium enema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A barium enema, also called a lower gastrointestinal series, is a medical procedure used to examine and dignose problems with the human large intestines. | | | The flow of the barium is monitored by the health care provider on an X-ray fluoroscope screen (like a TV monitor). | | | The barium, a radiopaque (shows up on X-ray) contrast medium, is then allowed to flow into the colon. |

| | Barium enema |
| | A barium enema, also known as a lower GI (gastrointestinal) exam, is a test that uses x-ray examination to view the large intestine. | | | As the barium or air is injected into the intestine, they may experience cramping pains or the urge to defecate. | | | There are two types of this test: the single-contrast technique where barium sulfate is injected into the rectum in order to gain a profile view of the large intestine; and the double-contrast (or "air contrast") technique where air is inserted into the rectum. |

| | Barium Enema |
| | A barium enema should not be done if a person has severe ulcerative colitis, toxic megacolon, acute diverticulitis, or if a perforation of the intestine is suspected. | | | Also, a barium enema may be done to monitor the progression of these conditions. | | | If a contrast enema is necessary but there is an increased risk of an intestinal perforation, a water-soluble contrast (Gastrografin) may be used instead of barium. |

| | Intussusception |
| | In many instances, the barium enema not only shows the intussusception, but the pressure from putting it in the bowel may also unfold the bowel that has been turned inside out, instantly curing the obstruction. | | | Enemas are less successful in older children, and they're more likely to require surgery to treat intussusception. | | | If the child appears very ill, suggesting damage to the intestine, the surgeon may opt to take the child immediately to the operating room to correct the bowel obstruction. |
