Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

223
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:

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Patient Quality of Life
  • Ostomy Care

Background:

  • Abdominal ostomy surgery significantly impacts daily life, requiring specialized collection devices.
  • Indications include cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and trauma, necessitating effective management of bodily fluid diversion.
  • High-quality ostomy products are crucial for enhancing patients' physical and social well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing fecal fluid collection devices and advanced technologies for ostomy patients.
  • To evaluate the performance of these devices in improving patients' quality of life.
  • To identify areas for technological advancement in ostomy care.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Google Patents.
  • Inclusion of articles published within the last eight years.
  • Classification of devices into passive and active categories based on user interaction.

Main Results:

  • Devices were categorized by patient concerns: controlling leakage, minimizing odor/noise, and monitoring fluid volume.
  • Passive devices require user monitoring; active devices offer automated assistance.
  • Existing devices meet basic collection needs, but advanced features are desired.

Conclusions:

  • Smart ostomy devices can enhance user control and confidence through real-time monitoring.
