Abstract | UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Single subject, randomized treatment. SETTING: Outpatient. SUBJECT: INTERVENTION: The suppository for the every third-day BP was randomized to PGB or HVB. The times in minutes of the following BP events were recorded: suppository insertion, first flatus, begin stool flow, end stool flow, and transfer off toilet. OUTCOME MEASURES: BP event times were used to derive BP intervals: suppository insertion to first flatus = Time to Flatus, first flatus until begin stool flow = Flatus to Stool Flow, begin stool flow until end stool flow = Defecation Period, end stool flow until the transfer off the toilet = Wait Until Transfer, and suppository insertion until transfer off the toilet = Total BP Time. The number of digital stimulations required and the amount of stool results were recorded. RESULTS: The data included two groups of BPs: HVB (N = 13) and PGB (N = 13). Wilcoxon's rank sum tests were used to compare mean times for each of the BP intervals: Time to Flatus (HVB 37 minutes, PGB 10 minutes, p < .0001), Flatus to Stool Flow (HVB 6.0 minutes, PGB 5.9 minutes, p = .9578), and the Defecation Period (HVB 31, PGB 21, p = .0043).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
