Barium sulfate comes as a powder to be mixed with water, a suspension (liquid), a paste, and a tablet. The enema will be administered by medical staff at the testing center through a atube that is to be inserted through a tube in the rectum. Barium sulfate is usually taken one or more times before an x-ray examination or CT scan.
A double-contrast barium enema is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the colon for abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, or inflammatory conditions. It involves using barium sulfate and air to create a detailed image of the colon on X-ray, providing information about the structure and function of the colon.
When you add sodium sulfate to barium chloride, a white precipitate of barium sulfate forms. This is due to the reaction between sodium sulfate and barium chloride, which forms insoluble barium sulfate.
Since both barium chloride and barium sulfate contain one mole of barium atoms pert mole of compound, the moles of barium sulfate will be the same, 0.100, when barium has the limiting concentration in the production of the sulfate.
The negative ion for barium sulfate is sulfate (SO4) with a charge of 2-.
Yes, a precipitate of barium sulfate will form because barium ions (Ba²⁺) from barium nitrate react with sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻) from potassium sulfate to form an insoluble compound, barium sulfate (BaSO₄). This insoluble compound will precipitate out of solution.
There are two types of this test: the single-contrast technique where barium sulfate is injected into the rectum in order to gain a profile view of the large intestine; and the double-contrast technique where air is inserted into the rectum
Acacia mucilage can be used in barium sulfate enemas to help improve patient tolerance and reduce discomfort during the procedure. The mucilage acts as a lubricant and can also help to protect the mucosa of the colon. Overall, the addition of acacia mucilage can enhance the patient experience during a barium sulfate enema.
The CPT code for a Barium enema with KUB (Kidneys, Ureters, and Bladder) is 74280.

Barium sulfate is a white crystalline powder commonly used as a contrast medium in medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays and CT scans. It helps highlight certain areas of the body for diagnosis of conditions like gastrointestinal disorders. Barium sulfate is relatively inert and not absorbed by the body, making it safe for use in medical applications.
Uncomfortable.
The reagents needed to form barium sulfate are barium chloride and sodium sulfate. When these two compounds are mixed in solution, a white precipitate of barium sulfate forms.
