4.2 - Complications
The complications for any type of colostomy are both physical and psychical (Phi
pps, Sands & Marek, 2003). Physical complications (Phipps, Sands & Marek, 2003),
(Hallouët, Eggers & Malaquin-Pavan, 2006), (Swearingen & Howard, 2001): Early
complications: hemorrhage, necrosis, shrinkage, eviscerated, occlusion.
Late complications: occlusion, stenosis, herniation, prolapse, irritation
peristomial skin, reintegration of stoma hernias paraestomais 14
ulcers, infections, buildup of phosphate crystals, squamous metaplasia, which ma
y cause stenosis. peri-stoma complications: skin irritation or contact
mechanical, bacterial skin infections or candidiasis, hypersensitivity or allerg
ic processes, fouling of phosphate crystals, granulomas, peri-stoma varices, epi
thelial hyperplasia, which can lead to stenosis.
Ascending Colostomy: the fecal content contains digestive enzymes
that are detrimental to the skin.
of Transverse Colostomy: the enzyme content of liquefied faeces
may cause skin irritation peristomial.
Transverse Colostomy with the Double Barrel: the enzyme content of
liquefied faeces may cause skin irritation peristomial.
of Ansa's Transverse Colostomy: as is usually done in
emergency, the patient is often ill-prepared, either physically or psychological
ly for this procedure.
Descending Colostomy: depending on the type of food eaten,
some may cause diarrhea, gas, odor or even obstruction.
Sigmoid Colostomy: depending on the type of food eaten,
some may cause diarrhea, gas, odor or even obstruction.
Complications psychological (Phipps, Sands & Marek, 2003): Fear of los
s, embarrassment due to noise and odor; negative effects on self-esteem, negativ
e effect on body image, negative effect on sexuality.

5 - Nursing
From the pre-operative, which are fundamental to patient care, including educati
on about what will change in your life. It is then the role of these nurses prov
ide care and make this teaching the patient about this new stage in his life, wh
ich may get a better quality of life possible.
5.1 - Nursing Care in Preoperative
The Preoperative Care to the patient undergoing ostomy are centered on teaching
the patient (Phipps, Sands & Marek, 2003). In Psychological preparation, with an
ostomy technique that causes alteration of body image and bowel function,the n
urse must assess knowledge and understanding of the patient compared to surgery
and its outcome. The nurse should also inform the patient about what to expect p
ostoperatively. Beyond fear and anxiety inherent in the surgery, can also arise
fear the reaction of family and friends before your ostomy. Feelings of shock, a
nger, inferiority, depression or addiction may emerge. Besides these, the change
in body image, in which the output of feces shall be made by unnatural opening
in the abdomen, the patient may feel shame, disgust and take refuge in a social
isolation. The nurse should clarify the patient and family questions about ostom
y surgery and, demystifying fears, fears and misconceptions often. It is essenti
al that nurses demonstrate willingness and develop a relationship with the patie
nt empathy and trust, always with the main objective of the autonomy and rehabil
itation
17
the patient as early as possible, promoting self-care and acceptance of the new
body image (Serrano & Pires, 2007). The physical preparation including bowel pre
paration, where cleaning is carried out according to the prescription and, depen
ding on the condition of the patient, may be conducted with (Serrano & Pires, 20
07): • • Mannitol 10% 1500cc, via Oral; industrial preparations for bowel cleans
ing by oral administration (eg: Selge "," X-prep "or" Klean-prep ") • Enemas cle
aning or other preparations for rectal administration (eg Clyss-Go). It is usual
ly also performed prophylactic antibiotic coverage with metrodinazol and neomyci
n-750 mg-1 gram, 3 doses orally the day before surgery. It is shaving the pubic
region, abdominal and perineal (when the patient will undergo abdomino-perineal
amputation), a peripheral vein puncture and administration of serum polyelectrol
yte with dextrose, the day before surgery, to compensate for losses caused by bo
wel cleansing and consider the cleansing of the skin (Serrano & Pires, 2007). It
is also marking the stoma site, where the shape and contour the skin fold of th
e abdomen of the patient are taken into account, not only in the sitting positio
n but also standing. The site should be visible when the patient is seated or st
anding, be located within the rectus muscle and away from scars, bony prominence
s or skin folds. The waist of the patient should also be avoided. Often, the sto
ma site is the most significant factor that influences the capacity of the patie
nt keep a bag tight and treat ostomy alone, after surgery (Phipps, Sands & Marek
, 2003). Teaching the patient before surgery should include (Phipps, Sands & Mar
ek, 2003):
That should make an appointment with the Nurse stomatherapy Estomaterapeuta befo
re surgery, in which this will show the 18
material which exists for the patient become familiar with the material that wil
l have to switch to; What will be shaving the abdomen (where the patient has a
lot of body hair) What has to be fasting before surgery; If the patient
has some sort of allergies; Explain to the patient, which may have drains, cath
eter and naso-gastric; That will have to be fasting after surgery to prevent str
ain or stress on suture lines; You may have pain and that you will be given
analgesia; Teach the patient as process of breathing and coughing after surgery,
so you do not have pain;
Display material in the case had not gone to consulting stomatherapy; Explain wh
at is the surgery, explaining the physiology of the intestines.
5.2 - Nursing Care on Postoperative
In Nursing Care on Postoperative nurses must, like any post-operatively, the pat
ient correctly observe and monitor their vital functions. The nurse should encou
rage the uprising after 24 hours and if it is possible to walk (Phipps, Sands &
Marek, 2003). It should therefore be alert to the monitoring of (Serrano & Pires
, 2007; Phipps, Sands & Marek, 2003) - Soros and other infusions - gastric drain
age;
19
- Drain abdominal and perineal (if available) - I think abdominal and perineal (
if available) - bladder drainage;
-
Drainage from the stoma and the beginning of its operation (drainage of fluid is
initially serohemático and mucus, restarting bowel function usually 3-7 days po
st-surgery);
-
Cleaning the Stoma: During the hospital cleaning of the stoma should be done wit
h sterile compresses and saline solution to avoid infections.One should gently
wash the skin and peri-stomal stomal circular motion and dry without rubbing the
stoma and peri-stomal skin and keep skin that is under the bag clean and dry;
-
Maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance: The person with ileostomy, it is e
ssential to pay attention to fluid and electrolyte balance. After surgery, drain
age by fecal ileostomy is liquid and can be permanent. The patient may have feca
l debts ranging between 1000 and 1500 ml per 24 hours. This amount should begin
to decrease slightly within 10-15 days, as the terminal ileum begins to absorb w
ater and the feces become thicker. However, the losses are even more significant
and is essential to register careful fluid balance. Patients with ileostomy eas
ily dehydrates. Feces can not become thick, if the patient had previous small bo
wel resections due to Crohn's disease. The more intestine has been resected, the
greater the likelihood of a high volume of liquid stool. Some patients need med
ication to help reduce the volume and control fluid loss. The bag may need to be
emptied every 1 to 2 hours. Volumes greater than 1500 ml per 24 hours are consi
dered excessive. The hydro-electrolyte problems are usually not a
20
major concern after colostomy surgery, but must be for a moment, to restore a no
rmal pattern of elimination.
-
Evaluation of Stoma: The patient has undergone surgical ostomy surgery usually c
omes with an ostomy bag placed. The nurse regularly observes the stoma on the hy
peremia and edema. The color reflects the infusion and a stoma or dark brownish-
black indicates ischaemia and necrosis. The color changes must be reported immed
iately. The initial swelling of the stoma, is an expected response to surgical m
anipulation. The shape of the stoma continues to change slightly in response to
peristalsis and the opening of the bag needs to be adjusted to adapt to changes
in the size of the stoma. The swelling usually disappears in 5-7 days. A small s
ignificant bleeding should be reported immediately to a surgeon. The abdominal i
ncision and the sutures that secure the stoma, are examined in relation to their
changes. Some of the mucosa of the stoma can externalize itself in the abdomina
l wall before healing is complete. The surface fragments heal by granulation, bu
t the deeper may require repositioning or to be re-sutured. The draining of the
stoma is formed, initially, mucus secretion and sero-hematic. As peristalsis rea
ppears, usually 2-4 days, start the flatus and fecal drainage. The bag should be
emptied when there is a third or half of its capacity, with stools or more ofte
n if there is excess gas.
-
Handling Perianal Wound: The perianal wound may require more than six months for
complete healing, so it is necessary to take care of this wound, such as washin
g and sanitary pads until the wound be closed. The perianal wound hinders the pa
tient feels or find a comfortable position. Soft pillows or foam may increase co
mfort, while the patient is sitting. The nurse teaches the patient to avoid pill
ows that will do away the buttocks and hindering 21
wound healing. Generally, patients prefer the lateral position. Initially, the w
ound drainage is abundant and serohemática and must be removed efficiently to pr
event infection and abscess formation. Initially the wound washings are made, us
ually with saline, but the patient may gradually evolve into a manual massage wi
th shower. Dressings must be changed whenever necessary.
Nursing care to be provided when there are complications (Loureiro & Fernandes,
2007):
Skin Irritation / peristomal dermatitis: the most common causes are
corrosiveness of the discharge, sensitivity to the device, epithelial hyperplasi
a, dermatitis and alkaline infection. Care must realize how good hygiene and the
stoma; mislead the cause and act accordingly, increase the protective skin, cha
nge your device, and if they continue to be guided to the Nurse Estomaterapeuta.
stenosis: where there is a narrowing of the stoma caused by
scar tissue. How to care, we should perform the care of the stoma hygiene, monit
oring the size of the stoma, to promote the dilation of the stoma, if necessary
apply a convex plate or ring and complementary route to the surgeons.
peristomal hernia: where there is a protrusion of the colon or the ileum
subcutaneous layers. How care should be made to the care of stoma hygiene, imple
ment, if necessary support without a belt tightening; alert if necessary for the
costume changes, changing device, go to the surgeon, surgery.
Prolapse: There is a strong manifestation of the intestine out of
stoma itself. How care should be made to the care of stoma hygiene, reduce the a
nxiety of the stoma; ask ostomate to lie supine and check color of the stoma and
signs 22
necrosis, hemorrhage and ulceration, and engaging the stump with bandages soaked
in dextrose 30%, when there is swelling or saline if there is swelling. Wait a
few minutes and with the help of middle finger and index finger, hold the intest
inal stump and cut with the thumb. After reduction, the stoma should remain lyin
g down for 30 minutes; teach ostomate bolster / compress the abdomen when you co
ugh, sneeze or do work; equip with two-piece system, given the size by the possi
bility of outsourcing in the stump; teach ostomate doing manual reduction; go to
a surgeon.
Shrinkage: when there is deepening of the stoma. Care
should be made to the care of stoma hygiene, using one device convex / moldable;
go to a surgeon.
Bleeding stoma: when there is bleeding from the stoma. Us
Care must realize the care of the stoma hygiene; procedese normally if a haemorr
hage; forward to the surgeon, if bleeding continued.
5.3 - Patient Education Ostomized Patients
The teachings of the stoma patient start on pre-operative, with the patient's pe
rception of what it knows about the surgery, why and how this will be done there
after, may not forget to answer any questions that the person has ( Correia, 200
7). Not always this process of change, it makes for a quiet and taking this into
account, the teachings postoperative should be started when the person is more
receptive to them, so you can learn them and use them to greater autonomy in the
care, achieving a better quality of life possible (Cooper, 2007).
23
Teaching for high patient is done by nurses, this being the coach with more resp
onsibility in teaching about the care of the stoma. Education facilitates the pr
ocess of acceptance of the ostomy, as part of the patient himself. This training
should be started as soon as possible, always involving the patient, family, or
people who the patient considers important. It should continue to be assessed a
nd their effectiveness: assessing knowledge and whether the patient is autonomou
s and able to care for your stoma at home (Serrano & Pires, 2007). In addition t
o all education verbal and practical demonstration of care, nurses should also p
rovide additional material and literature to the patient and inform you about su
pport services available in the community (Portuguese Association of Ostomates)
as well as reimbursement and other benefits that entitled to enjoy (Serrano & Pi
res, 2007). The patient should, after discharge from hospital, going to appointm
ents for follow-up and there will be an evaluation of your stoma, you will be ma
de teachings and could ask questions (Serrano & Pires, 2007).
The teachings of the postoperative patient are to be performed (Cooper, 2007; Lo
ureiro & Fernandes, 2007; Phipps, Sands & Marek, 2003):
1. Choose Device According to the anatomical location of intestinal stoma at t
he
fecal characteristics are different. Thus, the choice of the device must take in
to account these characteristics. The nurse must explain to the patient again th
e physiology of the intestines.
should also take into account the patient's age, is a carrier of defects
physical, mental, person living alone, whether active or retired and has time fo
r himself.
The material chosen must meet certain characteristics, such
to remain closed at least 24 hours, providing security day and night and be easy
to handle, comfortable, 24
allow freedom of movement, should be small allowing the use of fashionable cloth
es and even bathing suits; isolate noise and smells, do not irritate the skin an
d the stoma; easily obtained in various sizes.
The nurse should inform the patient about the types and models
bag on the market, allowing it to try, so that you can choose what will be most
effective in your case, should inform the patient that there are two types of sy
stems for disposable bags with skin barrier: the system with a part, where the b
ag is adapted to a base of protective skin, adhering to the skin itself, having
to remove the entire assembly when necessary;the system of two plays in which t
he bag is separated from the plate, taking the advantage of changing only the ba
g when necessary and may keep the card while it is well suited, which turns out
to be not so aggressive to the peristomal skin frequent change of the plate. The
re is also reusable bags that are cleaned and used again and drainable bags that
are easier to keep clean, both systems are available in single and double plays
.
It is important for the patient correctly measuring the stoma in each
changing bag in the first weeks after surgery. Outer parts, cut, of different di
ameters are included in the box of bags. Skin barriers are cut approximately 3 m
m more than the stoma to adapt to the stoma swollen. Later in the first year, th
e size of the stoma is occasionally re-evaluated to ensure a perfect fit.
The control of odor, the bags typically have a filter
coal on top, which deodorizes and releases gas if you do not have the patient ma
y choose to put deodorant tablets or solutions to eliminate odors.
25
should also tell you do not need to buy the material, because with a prescript
ion you can contact the health center or pharmacy, ordering the material you nee
d and they will give it to them free.
However, this option should be taken by the patient according
your needs.
2. Change Device → The teaching begins with the first replacement of the bag. Th
e patient may
or not prepared to see the stoma, but the nurse should encourage the patient to
slowly look at the ostomy and touch it. The nurse should explain briefly and obj
ectively each step of the procedure. It should also remind the patient that the
stoma has no sensitivity to touch, but the rest of the abdomen is still sensitiv
e and painful due to surgery. The pain should be carefully checked before each t
eaching session.
→ Before you start changing the ostomy bag, the person must prepare
all material, you will need during the care of the stoma and skin hygiene. Cut t
he plate / bag according to the diameter of the stoma is important to avoid cont
inuous contact with the skin from feces peri-stomal. → Remove the bag of feces s
hould be performed from top to bottom. → Place a paper over the stoma, while per
forming another activity, avoiding the exit of feces. → A skin cleansing should
be done with soft toilet paper and warm water, and we can use a pH neutral soap,
to remove feces that may have been in the area.
→ Dry skin with gentle movements, and without rubbing, using
paper towel or soft. Carefully evaluate the skin surrounding the 26
stoma and the stoma for signs of irritation or infection. If necessary the epila
tion of peri-stomal area, do it with scissors rounded top, avoiding the use of r
azors, which may cause the injuries and the increasing vulnerability to follicul
itis.
→ You can use a skin barrier, when the skin is peri-stomal
is macerated with lesions or with folds, which protect the skin. Although no sci
entific studies proving its effectiveness, application of egg white, slightly be
aten gives good results. Its justification can be related to the known function
of proteins in tissue repair. The use of a skin barrier is an important means of
protecting the peri-stomal skin. How can we have skin barriers: the powder, whi
ch is applied to the skin should be sealed because the setting does not allow th
e bag to the skin, the pulp, used to fill wrinkles and folds around the stoma an
d additional barriers skin for a more durable seal; skin barrier discs: they can
be used in a variety of bags and protect the skin from feces, and the opening i
n the disc is carefully measured so that it fits the base of the stoma without c
ausing friction inside or up the stoma; Skin sealants: there are in the form of
sprays, liquids, gels and lotion net, these products seal and coat the skin with
a thin film, and working under the bags and adhesive when the adhesive is remov
ed from the skin thin film is also removed.
→ Remove the protective role of the device (card / bag) to apply, and fix
upwards, compressing the abdominal muscles to make it easier to apply and massag
ing it to get a good grip.
→ To see if the bag is properly fixed, the patient must pull slightly
the bag and if it does not leave is because it is well placed.
→
The bag should be emptied when there is a third or half of its capacity, with st
ools or more often if there is excess gas. 27
3.The Food ostomate not need to have a special diet, you should keep that previ
ously had surgery, but should have some general care: - It is recommended that i
t go trying a new food different each time, so as to determine their effect - Ch
ew your food well, because it facilitates digestion and reduces flatulence - Eat
regularly - Have a varied diet - Increase water (especially in ileostomizados b
ecause 90% of stool weight is water) - According to their own situation, control
the intake of foods:
•
Cause constipation, such as rice, bananas, potatoes, dried fruit, applesauce;
•
Cause diarrhea, such as milk, beans, watermelon, fig, kiwi, strawberries, vegeta
bles, oranges, beer, plums;
•
Increase the smell of faeces, alcoholic drinks, asparagus, onion, garlic, fish,
cheese, cabbage, eggs, coffee, pears, beans;
•
Reduce the odor of feces, as spinach, parsley, green vegetables, lettuce, yogurt
, butter;
•
Cause flatulence, for example, carbonated drinks, beans, peas, sweet potatoes, c
auliflower and broccoli, melons, mushrooms, chocolate and cakes, onion.
28
4. Clothing If the stoma is well located (or is well marked in the preoperative
period), there is no need to change clothing. In case during surgery, not being
able to avoid the waist line, it should be advising men to that instead of belt,
which can traumatize the stoma, use braces. One can use strap, if you feel more
comfortable, since it is not too tight. 5. Travel When a person goes on vacatio
n with colostomy, should take a larger quantity of bags to which uses the same t
ime, because with the change of location, can lead to change in bowel habits. Wh
en traveling by plane the user must carry bags in the trunk of hand because ther
e may be a lost bag that is in the basement. Regarding the use of seat belts tha
t should be used under the same or higher than the stoma to prevent rubbing or p
ressure that can damage it.
6. Sex Life A person with an ostomy can have normal sexual life. However if ther
e is damage to the pelvic nerves may arise dyspareunia in women and in men a deg
ree of impotence. This degree of impotence is related to the magnitude of the in
jury, causing different manifestations. The user can change the bag before sex,
choose to switch to a mini-bag or cover the bag during intercourse. The couple s
hould explore positions for sexual intercourse, which minimize the stress and pr
essure on the bag. It should not have sexual relations by stoma. In case of preg
nancy, the fact of having a stoma does not affect the baby or their own they sho
uld be accompanied by professionals from the preconception. There should be unde
rstanding and good relations between the two partners, trying to overcome diffic
ulties, fears and insecurity. 29
7. Sport The stoma can practice exercise, however if violent contact sports (lik
e boxing, rugby ...), you should use a protective nut on the stoma. In physical
activities, one can use strategies such as those mentioned above (changing bags,
use of mini-bag).
8. The Tax Benefits ostomates have several benefits, which are legislated and in
force in Portugal, as in: - Purchase of vehicles (Decree-Law no. 103-A/90 of Ma
rch 22) - Structuring Pensions (Decree Law no. 92/2000 of May 19) - Acquisition
of Housing (Decree-Law no. 230/90 of July 16) - Holiday (Decree-Law no. 321-B/90
15 October) - Exemption fees and reimbursement on the purchase of prostheses /
orthoses (Decree-Law no. 54/92 of April 11) - Flexibility of working hours (Decr
ee Law No. .159/96 04 September).
9. Complications education about the complications is also important, because ju
st knowing the changes, you can use the appropriate bodies if necessary. Some of
the most common complications are mechanical or allergic dermatitis, folliculit
is, granulomas, prolapse, stomal retraction, stenosis, peristomal hernia, bleedi
ng, infection.
30
10. Support for Positive Self-Esteem The formation of a stoma is seen as a mutil
ation, and most patients need time and help others to cope through their feeling
s. The removal of any part of the body involves a feeling of loss and heartbreak
. The nurse should encourage the patient to express these feelings of loss and n
ot suppress or minimize. The resolution of grief is not a quick or easy process
and will not be achieved during hospitalization.Patient and family need to be w
arned that the resolution may take as long as a year or more and can impede the
return to independence in self care. The nurse encourages the patient to observe
the stoma and care for him in a natural way. This gives emotional support at al
l sessions of self-care, helping the patient to express himself. It also encoura
ges the patient to resume their daily activities without any restrictions.
11. Irrigation Ostomy An ostomy irrigation is an enema administered through the
stoma to stimulate intestinal emptying, with regular time intervals and appropri
ate. The procedure is not recommended routinely and is only used in the sigmoid
colostomy, which expel stool shaped. Irrigation is never part of routine care of
an ileostomy, because the drainage is continuous and semi-liquid. A patient who
makes irrigation successfully, may be able to dispense an ostomy bag and use a
stoma cap, a small bag with an adhesive absorbent dressing. Since the ostomy con
tinues to secrete mucus and free gas is a desirable filter gases. If irrigations
are planned, they begin about 5-7 days after surgery, but can only be explained
and held at a later stage, in clinical follow-up. Several are available 31
equipment and most sets include an irrigation hose, a cone to enter the stoma, a
bag to contain the solution and to close the hose clamps. The procedure is idea
lly explained in the bathroom. Cramps during an irrigation can be caused by the
instillation, too fast, water or solutions that are too cold or too hot. The flo
w should be interrupted until the cramps disappear. Irrigation is done as follow
s: Equipment - container for water, irrigation hose, belt, articles for skin car
e, new bag system, ready to use, remove the used bag and put in the trash, the C
lear the stoma and by around the stoma with water and assess; Apply irrigation h
ose and belt; Putting the end of the hose in the toilet, fill the container with
irrigation 500-1000 mL of tap water and warm suspend the container at shoulder
height, the Making runs water through the tube to remove air, the gently introdu
ce the stoma cone irrigation and slowly start the flow of water. The probes are
introduced to no more than 50-10 centimeters. Do not force. If cramps occur, sto
p the irrigation and wait, the wait for about 15-20 minutes of leaving the feces
, the Rinse the hose, dry basis, Erol up and close the end. The patient should d
o regular exercise for 30-45 minutes, remove the hose, clean the stoma and apply
the new bag, the Clear and keep the irrigation system. 32
6 - Conclusion
In conclusion I can say that the objectives of the study were achieved. Can I co
nclude that to care for a patient with ostomy disposal is necessary to know what
types of ostomy disposal exist. You must also know what the indications for whi
ch they are determined ostomy. To care for an ostomy is necessary to know what t
he complications that can arise, as both early and late specific to ileostomy an
d colostomy. It is also essential to know which nursing care to be provided in p
re-and postoperatively, and the education being provided to a patient stoma. It
was very gratifying to me to make this work, because I could understand the diff
erent types of ostomies disposal that and understand a little more of the care o
f these ostomies. In short it is expected that this work may have contributed to
a clarification on the elimination of ostomies, what are their specific indicat
ions, complications, precautions, pre-and postoperatively and the patient educat
ion and thereby help improve the care provided to people with ostomies disposal.
