Interesting twist of spelling....
I would like to see evidence that supports this method. Ive administered a few different types of fluid rectaly and never were they retained to the extent that they could support the vascular compartment that I'm aware of. Now medications might be another story ie lactulose enema for a pt with end stage liver disease suffering exacerbation of metabolic encephalopathy (usually from noncompliance).
On the other hand I could take a jr highschooler and teach him or her to do IV starts within a few hours...
