proctoclysis

In such situations proctoclysis remains an easy, safe and effective way to provide fluid replacement.

A Murphy drip is a rectal infusion apparatus to administer the medical procedure of proctoclysis, also known as rectoclysis.

Enemas have been used for rehydration therapy (proctoclysis) in patients for whom intravenous therapy is not applicable.

The Murphy drip was invented by Wisconsin surgeon John Benjamin Murphy, for the purpose of administering a proctoclysis for hydration and replenishment of electrolytes, via a sodium and calcium chloride solution.
