Can you get an air embolism from an enema. accidently squeezed and blew air.

Unlikely: While I suppose it is theoretically possible, it would be highly unlikely unless you had an open injury in your intestine (in which case you shouldn't be doing an enema and you'd be very sick). Since the intestine is basically one long tube, if you blew in air, it should come back out the same way. You may get some bloating but that should resolve. Similar thing happens with a colonoscopy.

Not if used correct: If you used enema correctly cannot get air embolus from enema. We squeeze air into the rectum all the time with colonoscopy and other tests so very unusual under normal circumstances

I wouldn't worry: Remember gastroenterologists complete colonoscopies everday and during this procedure this requires insufflation(pumping the colon up with air!). Air embolism is exceptionally rare. And remember this procedure is completed under much more pressure than an enema would create. So in the end, I wouldn't worry to much. Hope this helps.

Unlikely: If a person used the enema as directed (rectally) he or she is unlikely to get an air embolism. An air embolism occurs when an air bubble gets into your circulatory system (vein or artery).
