Patient details, including presenting symptoms, these physical findings, findings on x ray prospectively recorded. Results: Out 174 intussusception, attempted 148 117 (79%). There 20 reductions <12 hours (76%), 45 for 12-24 (83%), 35 24-48 (76%) 17 >48 (77%). Conclusions: not significantly affected by
