Abstract
5 % mannitol, supplemented by an intravenous infusion of N/saline (intravenous Group) and 19 patients drank 4-5 1 5 % mannitol (oral group). The volume of rectal effluent and the quality of bowel preparation was the same in both groups. The loss of sodium in the oral group was corrected by the intravenous infusion, but the infusion resulted in greater water retention. There was no reduction in the incidence of vomiting between the two groups. © The ASCRS 1982...Keywords
