It is important that the procedure is performed following proper guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness. Patients should be informed about the process and any potential side effects.

Give the oil rentention enema first. Most oil retention enemas are held for at least 30 minutes to soften the stool. Give the cleansing enema after the retention enema has been held for the required amount of time. Most people will have a bowel movement within a few minutes after being given a cleansing enema.
