All 118 hospital-based radiology departments in Indiana responded to a survey of barium enema (BE) use. The percentage of community hospitals in Indiana using barium enema, both single contrast (SCBE) and double contrast (DCBE) for various indications, was similar to that reported for major medical centers around the world. The use of SCBE and DCBE did not differ between small and large hospitals or between hospitals in small versus large communities. There was, however, wide variation among community hospitals in their overall use of either contrast technique. Barium enema usually was performed without antecedent sigmoidoscopy. However, 60% of Indiana hospitals perform BE on the same day as flexible sigmoidoscopy. The results indicate that the use of BE in community hospitals in Indiana is similar to that reported for major medical centers. Like major medical centers, there is no consensus regarding many issues in the performance of BE.
印第安纳州的118家医院放射科都回应了一项关于钡灌肠（BE）使用情况的调查。印第安纳州社区医院使用单对比（SCBE）和双对比（DCBE）钡灌肠用于各种适应症的比例，与世界各地主要医疗中心报告的比例相似。小型和大型医院之间，以及小社区和大社区的医院之间，SCBE和DCBE的使用情况没有差异。然而，社区医院在这两种造影技术的总体使用上存在很大差异。钡灌肠通常在没有先行乙状结肠镜检查的情况下进行。然而，印第安纳州60%的医院在进行乙状结肠镜检查的同一天进行钡灌肠。结果表明，印第安纳州社区医院钡灌肠的使用情况与主要医疗中心报告的情况相似。与主要医疗中心一样，在钡灌肠操作的许多问题上没有达成共识。
