GOLYTELY: A NEW APPROACH TO FAECAL IMPACTION IN OLD AGE

J. A. H. PUXTY, Lecturer in Geriatric Medicine and R. A. FOX, Professor

University Department of Geriatric Medicine, Clinical Sciences Building, Hope Hospital Eccles Old Road, Salford M6 8HD

Forty-five elderly subjects with faecal impaction were entered into a study of the efficacy of golytely. Twenty-three were treated with golytely 2 1/day for 2 days and then lactulose 30 ml b.d. and daily enemas. Twenty-two were treated with lactulose 30 ml b.d. and daily enemas alone. A good response was achieved in 13 (56%) within 1 week and in 20 (87%) within 2 weeks when golytely was used, as compared to only 5 (23%) within 1 week and 9 (41%) within 2 weeks when it was not used.

accepted in revised form December 12, 1985.
