[Glucagon-based cleansing enemas prior to a double-contrast barium enema].
The cleansing effect of large-volume enemas supported or unsupported by glucagon was studied in 20 each outpatients before a double-contrast barium enema. There was no statistically significant difference in respect of the remaining rests of faeces and the contrast medium coat. Patients suffering from intestinal spasms and anal insufficiency experience a feeling of relief by the intramuscular administration of glucagon during the preparatory enema; the quality of the double-contrast barium enema is not affected.
