Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Orthopaedic trauma admissions occur throughout the week, but surgical service availability is reduced on weekends.
  • Guidelines exist for timely surgery in elderly trauma patients, recommending operation within 24 hours of fitness.
  • This standard is proposed as applicable to all trauma patients, irrespective of age.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of admission day on adherence to the 24-hour surgery standard for orthopaedic trauma patients.
  • To raise awareness of potential disparities in trauma care based on service availability.
  • To advocate for consistent treatment standards for all trauma patients.

Main Methods:

  • Audit of consultant-delivered performance in orthopaedic trauma care.
  • Comparison of surgery wait times for patients admitted on weekdays versus weekends.
  • Application of the "surgery within 24 hours of admission" standard.

Main Results:

  • Patients admitted Sunday through Thursday achieved the 24-hour surgery standard 88% of the time.
  • Patients admitted on Friday or Saturday achieved the 24-hour surgery standard only 64% of the time.
  • A significant difference in timely surgical intervention was observed between weekday and weekend admissions.

Conclusions:

  • The day of the week significantly impacts the timeliness of orthopaedic trauma surgery.
  • Weekend service levels may compromise the quality of care for trauma patients.
  • Urgent review is needed to ensure equitable and timely surgical care for all orthopaedic trauma patients.
