Ostomy
Skin Care
Maintenance of the hygienic state of the skin under optimal conditions of cleanliness and comfort. Effective in skin care are proper washing, bathing, cleansing, and the use of soaps, detergents, oils, etc. In various disease states, therapeutic and protective solutions and ointments are useful. The care of the skin is particularly important in various occupations, in exposure to sunlight, in neonates, and in PRESSURE ULCER.

Jejunal tissue oxygenation and microvascular flow motion during hemorrhage and resuscitation. (1/45)
The relationship between flow motion and tissue oxygenation was investigated during hemorrhage/retransfusion with and without dopamine in 14 pigs. During 45% bleed, jejunal microvascular hemoglobin O(2) saturation (HBjO(2)) and mucosal tissue Po(2) (Po(2)muc) were recorded in seven control and seven dopamine-treated animals. Mean arterial pressure and systemic O(2) delivery decreased during hemorrhage and returned to baseline after retransfusion. Hemorrhage decreased Po(2)muc from 33 +/- 2.8 to 13 +/- 1.6 mmHg and HBjO(2) from 53 +/- 4.9% to 32 +/- 3.9%, respectively, in control animals. During reperfusion, Po(2)muc and HBjO(2) remained low. Dopamine increased Po(2)muc from 28 +/- 4.3 to 45 +/- 4.6 mmHg and HBjO(2) from 54 +/- 5.7% to 69 +/- 1.5% and attenuated the decrease in Po(2)muc and HBjO(2) during hemorrhage. After retransfusion, dopamine restored Po(2)muc and HBjO(2) to baseline. Control animals developed rhythmic HBjO(2) oscillations with increasing amplitude (frequency, 4.5 to 7.6 cycles/min) and showed an inverse relationship between Po(2)muc and HBjO(2) oscillation amplitude. Dopamine prevented regular flow motion. The association between decreased Po(2)muc and increased oscillations in HBjO(2) after normalization of systemic hemodynamics and O(2) transport in control animals suggests a cause-and-effect relationship between low tissue Po(2) and flow motion activity within the jejunal microcirculation. (+info)Quality of life in patients with stomas: the Montreux Study. (2/45)
Ostomy surgery profoundly affects a person's life. To determine the extent of the effect, the Stoma Care Quality of Life Index instrument was developed from a quality-of-life index. After ascertaining its validity and reliability, the instrument was used to measure patient quality of life in a European-wide study (16 countries). Six hundred, eighteen (618) stoma care nurses recruited 4,739 patients following stoma surgery. The self-administered questionnaire was completed immediately following surgery and after 3,6, 9, and 12 months. The mean age of patients was 61.6 years (+/- 13.4 years), 53.7% were men, and the majority (66.5%) had a colostomy. Stoma Care Quality of Life Index scores were fairly consistent in all patients throughout Europe immediately following surgery. While scores improved steadily over time, only the difference between the postoperative and 3-month scores was significant (P < 0.001). Stoma Care Quality of Life Index scores were significantly higher in patients who were satisfied with the care received than in those who were not satisfied. Similarly, patients who had a good relationship with the stoma care nurse and felt confident about changing the appliance had significantly higher Stoma Care Quality of Life Index scores than those who did not have a good relationship or feel confident. The results of this study suggest that stoma patient quality of life can be assessed, that it changes over time, and that patient access to specialist ostomy care nurses is particularly important during the first 3 to 6 months following surgery. (+info)Post-cholecystectomy benign biliary stricture with portal hypertension: is a portosystemic shunt before hepaticojejunostomy necessary? (3/45)
BACKGROUND: Portal hypertension develops in 15-20% of patients with benign bile duct stricture. Hepaticojejunostomy in such patients is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Preliminary portosystemic shunting has been suggested to reduce intra-operative bleeding. We present our experience without preliminary shunting in such patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fourteen consecutive cases of biliary stricture with portal hypertension over a 13-year period (1989-2001) were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: Thirteen patients were operated upon. One patient had a preliminary portosystemic shunt. In another patient, shunt was attempted. One stage hepaticojejunostomy was possible in 11 patients. There were no intra-operative deaths. Nine of the 13 survived and were available for follow-up. One patient had cholangitis. Another had jaundice related both to chronic liver disease and a strictured hepaticojejunostomy. The remaining 7 patients are asymptomatic and anicteric although alkaline phosphatase levels remain elevated in 5 of them. CONCLUSIONS: Hepaticojejunostomy without preliminary portosystemic shunting is possible in patients with portal hypertension and benign biliary stricture with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. (+info)The role of industry in improving quality of life for persons with an ostomy: a Canadian consensus. (4/45)
Financial and clinical resources (which include 260 enterostomal therapy nurses nationwide) to provide clinical and rehabilitative expertise to the estimated 50,000 to 60,000 Canadians living with an ostomy are limited. Hence, many persons with an ostomy fall through the cracks in the early pre- and postoperative period or are lost to follow-up afterdischarge. Problems and issues related to ostomy management continue to surface throughout their lives. As a result,the time required for rehabilitation is often lengthy, affecting the person's quality of life. The First Canadian Enterostomal Therapy Nurses' Advisory Council consisting of 10 Canadian enterostomal therapy nurses met in February 2004 to identify key issues and concerns for Canadians living the ostomy experience and to identify gaps in information and services available before surgery, during the immediate postoperative period, and as the time from surgery lengthened and patients moved through age-related life issues. The two most important gaps identified were the development of quality, pertinent resources and the dissemination of those resources. The Council also identified potential strategies to bridge these gaps, including utilizing the resources of manufacturer Customer Service departments to follow a communications protocol to provide information to patients, retailers, and providers. Finally, a process map from which individual ostomy manufacturers can build programs and processes for improving patient/provider/manufacturer communication was developed. (+info)Technology-dependency among patients discharged from a children's hospital: a retrospective cohort study. (5/45)
BACKGROUND: Advances in medical technology may be increasing the population of children who are technology-dependent (TD). We assessed the proportion of children discharged from a children's hospital who are judged to be TD, and determined the most common devices and number of prescription medications at the time of discharge. METHODS: Chart review of 100 randomly selected patients from all services discharged from a children's hospital during the year 2000. Data were reviewed independently by 4 investigators who classified the cases as TD if the failure or withdrawal of the technology would likely have adverse health consequences sufficient to require hospitalization. Only those cases where 3 or 4 raters agreed were classified as TD. RESULTS: Among the 100 randomly sampled patients, the median age was 7 years (range: 1 day to 24 years old), 52% were male, 86% primarily spoke English, and 54% were privately insured. The median length of stay was 3 days (range: 1 to 103 days). No diagnosis accounted for more than 5% of cases. 41% were deemed to be technology dependent, with 20% dependent upon devices, 32% dependent upon medications, and 11% dependent upon both devices and medications. Devices at the time of discharge included gastrostomy and jejeunostomy tubes (10%), central venous catheters (7%), and tracheotomies (1%). The median number of prescription medications was 2 (range: 0-13), with 12% of cases having 5 or more medications. Home care services were planned for 7% of cases. CONCLUSION: Technology-dependency is common among children discharged from a children's hospital. (+info)Prescription for excellence: an ostomy clinic. (6/45)
Individuals scheduled for ostomy surgery and those with a new or established stoma benefit from the services of a Certified Ostomy Care Nurse or Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse provided in an ostomy clinic. The clinic can provide pre- and postoperative services as well as long-term holistic care. Developing a clinic requires an organized and well thought-out plan that identifies unmet patient needs to justify the importance of this ambulatory service to facility administrators. The plan should include configuring and preparing the area where care will be provided, advertising the services offered, and determining hours, staff, policies, and procedures with particular attention paid to facility and regulatory specifications. After establishing a clinic in a large, urban, acute care hospital, patient visits averaged 33 per month and the scheduled 6 hours per week of clinic time needed to be expanded to meet the needs of those requesting appointments. Once established, patient outcomes and provider satisfaction should be recorded. Certified Ostomy Care Nurses and Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses have a responsibility to inform their patients about the ostomy clinic option when it is available and clinic clinicians should continue to share the results of their efforts to proliferate the ostomy clinic concept. (+info)Quality of care after ostomy surgery: a perspective study of patients. (7/45)
Ostomy surgery affects life on a variety of levels. Clinicians need to facilitate the patient's adaptation to life with a stoma and provide information and support to ease the transition. To prospectively assess ostomy patients' perceptions of the quality of care received as well as the importance they ascribe to care conditions, 49 patients from nine Swedish hospitals completed a postoperative "Quality of Care from the Patient's Perspective" questionnaire modified to include stoma care variables. The questionnaire consists of 49 items covering 17 quality dimensions factors that address medical-technical competence, physical-technical conditions, identity-oriented approach, and socio-cultural atmosphere. The modified version contains an additional 13 ostomy-specific items that have demonstrated face validity. Responses to questions were provided using 4-point scales to assess perceived reality and subjective importance. "Medical treatment" received the highest score on the perceived reality scale; "interest in view-of-life," "care-room characteristics," and "participation" received the lowest scores. On the ostomy-specific section, patients were satisfied with most aspects of care received; "where to get advice and support concerning the ostomy" received the highest score. "Talking about sexuality with the ET nurse" received the lowest score on both perceived reality and subjective importance scales. Although the majority of patients regarded most aspects of care as important and were highly satisfied with the care they received before and following their ostomy surgeries, periodic follow-up will most likely enhance satisfaction and long-term follow-up results may differ from those obtained shortly after surgery. (+info)Management of parastomal ulcers. (8/45)
Management of surgically placed ostomies is an important aspect of any general surgical or colon and rectal surgery practice. Complications with surgically placed ostomies are common and their causes are multifactorial. Parastomal ulceration, although rare, is a particularly difficult management problem. We conducted a literature search using MD Consult, Science Direct, OVID, Medline, and Cochrane Databases to review the causes and management options of parastomal ulceration. Both the etiology and treatments are varied. Different physicians and ostomy specialists have used a large array of methods to manage parastomal ulcers; these including local wound care; steroid creams; systemic steroids; and, when conservative measures fail, surgery. Most patients with parastomal ulcers who do not have associated IBD or peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) often respond quickly to local wound care and conservative management. Patients with PPG, IBD, or other systemic causes of their ulceration need both systemic and local care and are more likely to need long term treatment and possibly surgical revision of the ostomy. The treatment is complicated, but improved with the help of ostomy specialists. (+info)An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) from an internal organ to the outside of the body, typically involving the small or large intestine, bladder, or ureters, to divert the flow of urine or stool due to various medical conditions like bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or birth defects.
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (a stoma) in the abdominal wall through which the function of an impaired digestive or urinary organ can be performed. This procedure is often necessary for patients with certain diseases such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or birth defects that prevent normal bodily functions.
There are several types of ostomies, including colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy. A colostomy involves creating a stoma from the colon (large intestine), an ileostomy involves creating a stoma from the ileum (the last part of the small intestine), and a urostomy involves creating a stoma for the urinary system.
After the ostomy procedure, patients will need to wear a pouching system to collect waste that is expelled through the stoma. With proper care and management, most people with an ostomy can lead active and fulfilling lives.
An enterostomy is a surgical creation of an opening (stoma) into the small intestine (enteric portion), typically performed to divert the fecal flow for various therapeutic reasons, such as in inflammatory bowel disease, bowel obstruction, or trauma.
An enterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening from the intestine to the abdominal wall, which allows for the elimination of waste from the body. This opening is called a stoma and can be temporary or permanent, depending on the individual's medical condition. There are several types of enterostomies, including colostomy, ileostomy, and jejunostomy, which differ based on the specific location in the intestine where the stoma is created.
The purpose of an enterostomy may vary, but it is often performed to divert the flow of waste away from a diseased or damaged section of the intestine, allowing it to heal. Common reasons for an enterostomy include inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, trauma, and birth defects.
After the surgery, patients will need to wear a pouching system over the stoma to collect waste. They will also require specialized care and education on how to manage their stoma and maintain their overall health. With proper care and support, individuals with an enterostomy can lead active and fulfilling lives.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening, or stoma, through the abdominal wall to divert the flow of feces from the colon into an external collection bag, typically performed as a treatment for certain colon or rectal diseases such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or trauma.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening, or stoma, through the abdominal wall to divert the flow of feces from the colon (large intestine) through this opening and into a pouch or bag worn outside the body. This procedure is typically performed when a portion of the colon has been removed due to disease or injury, such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or trauma.
There are several types of colostomies, including end colostomy, loop colostomy, and double-barrel colostomy, which differ in terms of the location and configuration of the stoma. The type of colostomy performed will depend on the individual's medical condition and the specific goals of the surgery.
After a colostomy, patients will need to learn how to care for their stoma and manage their bowel movements using specialized equipment and techniques. With proper care and management, most people are able to lead active and fulfilling lives after a colostomy.
"Skin care is the practice of maintaining and improving the health, appearance, and condition of the skin through various measures such as cleansing, moisturizing, protecting from sun damage, and treating specific issues like acne or wrinkles with appropriate products and treatments."
Skin care, in a medical context, refers to the practice of maintaining healthy skin through various hygienic, cosmetic, and therapeutic measures. This can include:
1. Cleansing: Using appropriate cleansers to remove dirt, sweat, and other impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
2. Moisturizing: Applying creams or lotions to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness.
3. Sun Protection: Using sunscreens, hats, and protective clothing to shield the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.
4. Skin Care Products: Using over-the-counter or prescription products to manage specific skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
5. Regular Check-ups: Regularly examining the skin for any changes, growths, or abnormalities that may indicate a skin condition or disease.
6. Lifestyle Factors: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and avoiding habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can negatively impact skin health.
It's important to note that while some general skincare advice applies to most people, individual skincare needs can vary greatly depending on factors like age, skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive), and specific skin conditions or concerns. Therefore, it's often beneficial to seek personalized advice from a dermatologist or other healthcare provider.
An ileostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall, bringing the end or loop of the small intestine (ileum) to the surface, through which body waste is excreted into an external collection pouch.
An ileostomy is a surgical procedure in which the end of the small intestine, called the ileum, is brought through an opening in the abdominal wall (stoma) to create a path for waste material to leave the body. This procedure is typically performed when there is damage or removal of the colon, rectum, or anal canal due to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), cancer, or trauma.
After an ileostomy, waste material from the small intestine exits the body through the stoma and collects in a pouch worn outside the body. The patient needs to empty the pouch regularly, typically every few hours, as the output is liquid or semi-liquid. Ileostomies can be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying condition and the planned course of treatment. Proper care and management of the stoma and pouch are essential for maintaining good health and quality of life after an ileostomy.
"Practice Management" in a medical context refers to the efficient and effective organization, administration, and operation of a healthcare practice, including aspects such as financial management, human resources, patient scheduling, compliance with regulations, and quality improvement.
Practice management, in the context of healthcare, refers to the activities and processes involved in running a medical practice efficiently and effectively. It encompasses various administrative, financial, and clinical functions that are necessary for providing high-quality patient care while ensuring the practice's financial sustainability.
The following are some of the key components of practice management:
1. Financial Management: This includes revenue cycle management, which involves billing and coding, claims processing, and collections. It also includes budgeting, financial planning, and managing expenses to ensure the practice's financial health.
2. Human Resources Management: This involves hiring, training, and managing staff, including physicians, nurses, medical assistants, and administrative personnel. It also includes developing policies and procedures for employee conduct, performance management, and benefits administration.
3. Operations Management: This includes scheduling appointments, managing patient flow, maintaining medical records, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. It also involves managing the practice's facilities, equipment, and supplies.
4. Clinical Operations Management: This involves overseeing the delivery of clinical services, including developing clinical protocols, coordinating care across providers, and ensuring that patients receive high-quality care. It may also involve quality improvement initiatives, such as analyzing patient outcomes and implementing changes to improve care.
5. Marketing and Business Development: This includes promoting the practice to potential patients, building relationships with referring physicians, and developing partnerships with other healthcare organizations. It may also involve exploring new service lines or expanding the practice's geographic reach.
Effective practice management is critical for ensuring that medical practices operate smoothly, provide high-quality care, and remain financially viable in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.
A surgical stoma is an artificially created opening on the surface of the body, often in the abdominal area, that connects to a hollow organ such as the intestine or urinary tract, allowing for waste elimination or drainage of bodily fluids when normal function is obstructed or impaired.
A surgical stoma, also known simply as a stoma, is a surgically created opening on the surface of the body that allows for the passage of bodily waste. This procedure is typically performed when a person has a malfunctioning or diseased organ in the digestive or urinary system that cannot be effectively treated or repaired.
In a colostomy or ileostomy, which are common types of surgical stomas, a portion of the colon or small intestine is brought through an opening in the abdominal wall to create a new pathway for waste to exit the body. The stoma may be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying condition and the success of any additional treatments.
After surgery, patients with a stoma will need to wear a pouching system to collect and contain the waste that is expelled through the stoma. This can take some getting used to, but with proper care and support, most people are able to adjust to life with a stoma and maintain a good quality of life.
"Nurse clinicians are registered nurses who have obtained an advanced degree, achieved clinical specialization, and function independently in an advanced practice role to deliver expert nursing care, make critical decisions, and often serve as a resource for other healthcare professionals."
A Nurse Clinician, also known as Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), is an advanced practice registered nurse who has completed a master's or doctoral degree in nursing with a focus on clinical expertise. They are experts in their specific clinical specialty area, such as pediatrics, gerontology, critical care, or oncology.
Nurse Clinicians demonstrate advanced levels of knowledge and skills in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients' health conditions. They provide direct patient care, consult with other healthcare professionals, coordinate care, and often serve in leadership and education roles within their healthcare organizations. Their work includes developing and implementing evidence-based practice guidelines, participating in quality improvement initiatives, and mentoring staff nurses.
Nurse Clinicians play a critical role in improving patient outcomes, enhancing the quality of care, and promoting cost-effective care delivery. They are licensed and regulated by their state's Board of Nursing and may hold national certification in their clinical specialty area.
"Nursing Evaluation Research" is a type of research that systematically assesses and evaluates the effectiveness of nursing interventions, care strategies, or educational programs to improve patient outcomes, and inform evidence-based nursing practice.
Nursing Evaluation Research (NER) is a type of research that focuses on evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of nursing interventions, treatments, or care delivery models. The main goal of NER is to determine whether these interventions or models produce desired outcomes, improve patient care, and contribute to better health outcomes.
NER typically involves collecting and analyzing data related to nursing practices, such as patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and safety. This type of research can help nurses identify best practices, develop evidence-based guidelines, and make informed decisions about patient care. NER may also be used to evaluate the impact of changes in policy or practice on patient outcomes and healthcare delivery.
NER is an important area of study for nursing professionals, as it helps to advance the field of nursing and improve patient care. By conducting rigorous evaluations of nursing interventions and practices, nurses can contribute to the development of evidence-based care that leads to better health outcomes for patients.
A "Nursing Assessment" is a systematic and ongoing process of collecting, documenting, and interpreting patient data to identify actual or potential health problems, strengths, and needs, which forms the basis for planning and delivering nursing care.
A nursing assessment is the process of collecting and analyzing data about a patient's health status, including their physical, psychological, social, cultural, and emotional needs. This information is used to identify actual or potential health problems, develop a plan of care, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. Nursing assessments may include observing and documenting the patient's vital signs, appearance, behavior, mobility, nutrition, elimination, comfort level, cognitive status, and emotional well-being. They are typically conducted upon admission to a healthcare facility, during transitions of care, and on a regular basis throughout the course of treatment to ensure that the patient's needs are being met and that any changes in their condition are promptly identified and addressed.
