In rare instances, rectal cleansing enemas may cause rectal injury, precipitating lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage (LGIH). In a subset of LGIH cases, the bleeding diathesis may fail to respond to traditional treatment modalities and can be life-threatening. We present a case of an 84-year-old female with cleansing enema induced rectal bleeding - she was a poor surgical candidate and due to lack of access to in-house interventional radiology teams, hemostasis was attempted with sui generis use of the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube. Our transanal application of the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube for the management of LGIH contributes further evidence supporting the use of balloon tamponade in achieving hemostasis in select patients when traditional therapeutic modalities are unavailable.
在罕见情况下,直肠清洁灌肠可能导致直肠损伤,引发下消化道出血(LGIH)。在一部分LGIH病例中,出血素质可能对传统治疗方式无反应,且可能危及生命。我们报告一例84岁女性因清洁灌肠导致直肠出血的病例——她不适合手术,且由于无法获得院内介入放射科团队的帮助,遂尝试使用独特的Sengstaken - Blakemore管进行止血。我们经肛门应用Sengstaken - Blakemore管治疗LGIH,为在传统治疗方式不可用时,使用球囊压迫法在特定患者中实现止血提供了更多证据支持。
