Stomahesive as a tracheostomy dressing.

C M Aurbakken, J A Weigelt

    Resuscitation

    Summary

    Occlusive stomahesive dressings may improve skin integrity around tracheostomies. This study found fewer skin changes in patients using stomahesive dressings compared to standard care.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Wound Care
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Tracheostomy care requires meticulous attention to prevent skin complications.
    • Standard tracheostomy management may lead to peristomal skin irritation and breakdown.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of occlusive stomahesive dressings in managing tracheostomies.
    • To compare skin changes in patients treated with stomahesive dressings versus standard care.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study comparing seven patients with stomahesive dressings to four patients receiving standard tracheostomy care.
    • Stomahesive dressings were applied using a defined technique.
    • Patients were monitored until tracheostomy closure, with photographic documentation of skin condition.

    Main Results:

    • The average duration of stomahesive dressing use was 26 days.
    • Dressings maintained occlusion for an average of 4 days.
    • Photographic evidence indicated reduced skin changes in the stomahesive dressing group.

    Conclusions:

    • Occlusive stomahesive dressings appear to be beneficial in reducing skin complications associated with tracheostomies.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and optimize application techniques.
