El tapón de colostomía: un nuevo dispositivo desechable para un continente de colostomía
Lancet (London, England)
|November 8, 1986
Resumen
Un novedoso tapón de colostomía desechable ofrece una mejor continencia fecal y un paso del flatus sin olor. Este dispositivo innovador logró un éxito del 90% en 53 pacientes, mejorando la calidad de vida de los usuarios de colostomía.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dispositivos Médicos Dispositivos Médicos para el Cuerpo
- Gastroenterología y Gastroenterología.
- Los aparatos quirúrgicos.
Sus antecedentes:
- El manejo de la colostomía presenta desafíos en el mantenimiento de la continencia fecal y el manejo del flatus.
- Es posible que los aparatos de colostomía existentes no aborden completamente los problemas de olor, ruido y comodidad del paciente.
- Se necesitan soluciones discretas y efectivas para el control de la colostomía.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para describir un nuevo dispositivo desechable para el control de la colostomía.
- Para evaluar la eficacia y usabilidad de este nuevo sistema de enchufe de colostomía.
Principales métodos:
- Un sistema de dos piezas que comprende una placa base adhesiva y un enchufe desechable de colostomía filtrado con carbono.
- El tapón, hecho de plástico de celda abierta, está embalado con una película soluble en agua para su expansión inmediata al ser insertado.
- Evaluación clínica realizada en 53 pacientes para evaluar el rendimiento y la duración de la aplicación.
Principales resultados:
- El dispositivo logró la continencia fecal y el paso del flatus sin olor en el 90% de los pacientes.
- El período medio de aplicación antes de la obstrucción por moco o heces fue de 8 horas (rango de 5-24+ horas).
- La duración de la aplicación fue más larga en pacientes que usaron irrigación intestinal; otros usaron bolsas de colostomía nocturnas.
Conclusiones:
- El tapón de colostomía desechable es un dispositivo eficaz para la gestión de la salida de la colostomía.
- Mejora significativamente la continencia fecal y controla el olor y el ruido del flatus.
- El dispositivo ofrece una alternativa prometedora para el cuidado de la colostomía, mejorando la calidad de vida del paciente.

Tracheostomy Decannulation
Tracheostomy decannulation is a significant milestone in the liberation of mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its importance, there is no universally accepted protocol for this procedure. This demands an evidence-based, individualized approach.
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
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:

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:
Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

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:
