PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM SMALL INTESTINE Length: 20‐25 Feet 4 Layers: Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa Function: Digestion and absorption of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fluids, electrolytes, and miscellaneous items such as drugs Neutralizes then converts acid chyme to alkaline for absorption Processes 8 to 10 liters of fluid per day, approximately 1 to 2 liters pass into colon Low pH: pH 6‐7, due to low bacterial count Transit time: 4 to 6 hours 7 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY CROSSECTIONAL VIEW OF LAYERS OF THE GI TRACT 8 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM SMALL INTESTINE (CONTINUED) DUODENUM Length: 20 – 25 cm Location: Distal to Pyloris Function: Neutralize gastric contents, digestion, and absorption JEJUNUM Length: 40 cm Location: After the Ligament of Treitz Function: Major organ of digestion and absorption of fats, proteins, and vitamins 9 3 4/9/2014 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM SMALL INTESTINE (CONTINUED) ILEUM Length: 60 cm Location: Distal to Jejunum Function: Absorption of any nutrients not absorbed by Duodenum and Jejunum Terminal Ileum contains the only receptor sites for absorption of Intrinsic Factor – Vitamin B12 Complex – , and for Bile Salts ILEOCECAL VALVE Size: 2‐3 cm ring of thick smooth muscle Location: Distal to Ileum, between Ileum and Large Intestine Function: To regulate emptying into the Large Intestine, prevent reflux of contents back into Small Intestine Transit Time: Average of 18 – 24 from Ileocecal Valve to Rectum 10 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM LARGE INTESTINE Length: 5‐6 Feet 4 Layers: Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa Function: Collection, concentration, transport, and elimination of intestinal waste material Absorption of water and electrolytes Motility organ for transporting feces Produces mucous, lubrication of the fecal bolus Common bacterial Flora: Escherichia Coli Aerobacter Aerogenes Clostridium Perfringens Lactobacillus Bifidus Responsible for odor associated with feces 11 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM LARGE INTESTINE (CONTINUED) CECUM Length: 6.0 ‐ 7.6 cm Location: Connects with Ileocecal Valve Function: Receives approximately 1.0 ‐ 1.5 liters of fluid from Small Intestine Appendix arises from posteromedial aspect ASCENDING COLON Length: 15 cm from Cecum to right Hepatic

SPHINCTER Voluntary Allows or prevents fecal elimination 15 5 4/9/2014 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY SYSTEM ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY SYSTEM 17 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY SYSTEM KIDNEY Length: 11 cm Width: 5 – 7 cm Right kidney slightly inferior to left due to liver placement Function: Filtration of metabolic waste and toxins from the blood Maintenance of internal homeostasis (maintains normal serum pH between 7.37 and 7.42) Influences blood pressure, vascular volume, red blood cell production, apoptosis, and bone growth maintenance 18 6 4/9/2014 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY SYSTEM URETERS Length: 24 – 30 cm Left ureter typically longer than right because of the slightly inferior location of the right kidney Function: Pushes a bolus of urine through the ureterovesical junction and into the bladder via peristalsis Ureterovesical junction prevents reflux by sealing the ureter in response to contraction of the bladder 19 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GENITOURINARY SYSTEM BLADDER Muscular, highly distensible organ Length: 12.5 cm Width: 7.5cm Volume: Ordinary amount: 470 cc Ooooo (typical maximum): 600 – 800 cc

sphincter mechanism (entire length in females, proximal end in males) Squeezes when cough or sneeze to help prevent urine leakage 21 7 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY COLORECTAL CANCER INCIDENCE According to the CDC, in 2008 (the most recent year numbers are available) 142,950 people in the United States were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, including 73,183 men and 69,767 women 52,857 people in the United States died from colorectal cancer, including 26,933 men and 25,924 women Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States Relative survival rate at 5 years is currently 64.3% in the United States and increasing Approximately 1 million people alive today have a history of colorectal cancer, making this cancer survivor population one of the largest in the United States Approximately 18% to 35% of colorectal survivors have received temporary or permanent intestinal ostomies as part of their treatment 23 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY FREQUENCY AND LOCATION OF COLON AND RECTAL CANCERS 24 8 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY COLORECTAL CANCER RISK FACTORS Diet Low fiber High animal fat Alcohol Tobacco Age Hereditary syndromes (Lynch Syndrome) Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis) Personal and/or family history of colorectal cancer Polyps (adenoma) 25 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY COLORECTAL CANCER SYMPTOMS Change in bowel habits Diarrhea Constipation Narrowing of stool Incontinence Unexplained weight loss Blood on or in stool Unexplained anemia Abdominal pain or bloating 26 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY CROHN’S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS Cause unknown Possibilities include immune system, virus or bacteria IBD Heredity, genetics may play a role Risk Factors Age, usually before age 30, secondary incidence 50’s to 60’s Ethnicity, whites have the highest risk, may be seen in any ethnic group highest risk in Ashkenazi Jewish descent Family history, higher risk if close relatives, parent siblings, of child History of Isotrentinoin use (previously known as Accutane) Cigarette smoking ‐ most important controllable risk factor for Crohn’s disease Some pain relievers, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, and Aspirin Geographic location, environmental factors, diet high in fat, refined foods people living in northern climates have a greater risk of disease Incidence, highest North America: CD: 20.2/100,00 UC: 19.2/100,000 27 Europe: CD: 12.7/100,00 UC: 6.3/100,000 9 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY CROHN’S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS DIFFERENTIATION Crohn’s Disease Ulcerative Colitis Transmural Superficial Focal, discontinuous involvement with aphthous ulcers, granulomas may be present Continuous involvement with granularity, friability, and pinpoint ulcerations May affect mouth to anus Limited to colon Rectal involvement variable Rectum always involved Terminal ileum and cecum most commonly involved Small intestine not involved Peri‐rectal abscess/disease may be seen Peri‐anal area normal Bleeding present with colonic disease Rectal bleeding common Weight loss common due to small bowel involvement Weight loss may occur Diarrhea depends on location of disease Diarrhea common as weight loss presents Percent of obstructive symptoms due to fibrosis and narrowing of lumen May have fever and/or night sweats Pain is likely due to transmural inflammation Pain not typical 28 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY CROHN’S DISEASE Normal Colon Crohn’s Disease 29 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY CROHN’S DISEASE 30 10 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY ULCERATIVE COLITIS 31 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY ULCERATIVE COLITIS 32 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY DIVERTICULITIS Cause Decrease in dietary fiber content Constipation/straining Diverticulosis Begins as diverticula (pouches) form Diverticulitis occurs When diverticula become inflamed and/or infected Likely cause of infectious‐ inflammatory process is stool or food particles becoming trapped in the pouches 33 11 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY DIVERTICULITIS CLINICAL PRESENTATION Left lower quadrant pain Nausea and vomiting Fever Change in bowel habits Leukocytosis Rectal bleeding 34 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY DIVERTICULITIS Increases in incidence with age, reaching a prevalence of greater than 65% in those older than 85 years. The mean age at presentation with diverticulitis appears to be about 60 years. Significant association between obesity and the risk of developing diverticulitis. Genetics are believed to play a role, in addition to dietary factors. Left‐sided diverticula predominate in the United States. Asians, including Asian Americans, have a predominance of right‐sided diverticula. 35 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY FECAL INCONTINENCE Accidental passing of solid or liquid stool or mucus from the rectum Approximately 18 million in US One in 12 people have fecal incontinence People of any age though more common in older adults and diabetics Slightly more common among women RISK FACTORS Diarrhea, passing loose watery stools 3 or more times a day Urgency, sensation of having little time to get to toilet for bowel movement After pelvic irradiation for malignancy After surgical reconstruction of rectum for irritable bowel or cancer Trauma during childbirth with injuries to pelvic floor 36 12 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS (FAP) Most common adenomatous polyposis syndrome Autosomal dominant inherited disorder Characterized by the early onset of hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps throughout the colon If left untreated, all patients with this syndrome develop colon cancer by age 35‐40 years Increased risk exists for the development of Other malignancies GARDNER’S SYNDROME Colonic polyposis typical of FAP Along with: Osteomas commonly on the skull and the mandible Dental abnormalities Soft tissue tumors 37 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY ISCHEMIC COLITIS Acute, self‐limited compromise in intestinal blood flow which is inadequate for meeting the metabolic demands of a region of the colon 90% of cases of colonic ischemia occur in patients over 60 years of age Younger patients may also be affected RISK FACTORS Mesenteric artery emboli, thrombosis, or trauma Hypo‐perfusion states due to congestive heart failure, transient hypotension in the perioperative period or strenuous physical activities and shock due to a variety of causes such as hypovolemia or sepsis Mechanical colonic obstruction due to tumors, adhesions, volvuli, hernias, diverticulitis or prolapse There is a long list of medications that predispose to colon ischemia 38 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY VOLVULUS A twisting of any hollow viscus and can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract In the colon, volvulus can lead to obstruction and sometimes ischemia and perforation Progressive proximal bowel distension occurs as a result of the obstruction, while gas distension of the closed loop increases intra‐luminal pressure over venous pressure leading to vascular congestion and eventual ischemia Twisting of the mesenteric vessels can also produce arterial insufficiency and venous thrombosis Most common anatomic locations for volvulus in the colon are the non‐ fixed regions, specifically the cecum, sigmoid and occasionally transverse portions RISK FACTORS FOR SIGMOID VOLVULUS IN THE U.S. Male gender History of neuropsychiatric disease 39 13 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY VOLVULUS 40 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY INTUSSUSCEPTION 41 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY RADIATION ENTERITIS DAMAGE DURING OR FOLLOWING THERAPY The combination of acute and chronic radiation injury can result in varying degrees of inflammation, thickening, collagen deposition, and fibrosis of the bowel, as well as impairment of mucosal and motor functions Radiation enteritis is increasing and has been estimated to occur in 2‐5% of patients receiving abdominal or pelvic radiotherapy Reported higher numbers may be explained by the extent of radiation field, the technique, and the dosage of radiation used. Cumulative 10‐year incidence of moderate injuries is estimated at 8%, and that of severe injuries is estimated at 3% Symptoms generally are insidious and develop months to years after therapy has ended Colicky abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting ‐ small bowel obstruction Chronic watery diarrhea Possible development of fistulas 42 14 4/9/2014 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY BLADDER CANCER INCIDENCE According to the American Cancer Society, in 2013 72,570 new cases of bladder cancer diagnosed, including 54,610 men and 17,960 women 15,210 people in the United States died from bladder cancer, including 10,820 men and 4,390 women Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the United States Relative survival rate at 5 years ranges from 15% to 98% in the United States depending upon stage. Early detection is important. In 2010, there were an estimated 563,640 people living with bladder cancer in the United States 43 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY BLADDER CANCER RISK FACTORS Cigarette smoking Chemical exposure, i.e., paints, dyes, rubber, leather, textiles Increasing Age Caucasian Male Previous cancer treatment, i.e., radiation treatment Personal and/or family history Chronic long term bladder infections 44 INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY BLADDER CANCER SYMPTOMS Painless hematuria (may be microscopic) Frequency/urgency Painful urination Pelvic pain Back pain 45 15 4/9/2014 OSTOMIES BY THE NUMBERS The number of patients living with stomas in the United States is unknown, but estimates range up to 450,000 people, with 120,000 new stomas created each year Other estimates predict the number of ostomates to increase by 3% per year Average age for all ostomates is 68.3 years The distribution of procedures is: 36.1% colostomy, 32.2% ileostomy, and 31.7% urostomy Approximately 30% to 40% of ostomies are estimated to be temporary 46 TYPES OF OSTOMIES AND STOMAS TYPES OF OSTOMIES AND STOMAS TYPES OF OSTOMIES Ileostomy ‐ Origin in Ileum Colostomy ‐ Origin in Colon Urostomy – Origin Ileum or Colon May be permanent or temporary 48 16 4/9/2014 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS TYPES BASED UPON: Anatomic location (Ostomy) Ileostomy Colostomy Surgical Construction (Stoma) End Loop Functional Stoma with Mucous Fistula ‐ Double Barrel Continent Stomas (with internal pouches) 50 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS OSTOMY BASED UPON ANATOMIC LOCATION ILEOSTOMY Normal adult output: Often liquid immediately after creation Amount varies between 800 and 1,700 mls/24 hrs Leveling off and gaining consistency in amounts between 500 and 1,800 ml/24 hrs 51 17 4/9/2014 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY ILEOSTOMY Crohn’s Disease Ulcerative Colitis Colorectal Cancer Fecal Incontinence Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Gardener’s Syndrome Congenital Anomalies Trauma (gunshot wounds, etc.) 52 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS OSTOMY BASED UPON ANATOMIC LOCATION COLOSTOMY Normal adult output: Output depends on location The more distal to the Small Intestine the thicker and less frequent the output 53 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY COLOSTOMY Colorectal Cancer Diverticulitis Fecal Incontinence Trauma, blunt or penetrating Intestinal Obstruction, Volvulus, Intussusception Radiation Enteritis, damage during or following therapy 54 18 4/9/2014 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION End Loop Functional Stoma with Mucous Fistula ‐ Double Barrel Continent Stomas (with internal pouches) 55 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS END STOMA Proximal end of intestine brought up to abdominal wall, everted, and attached to skin Types of procedures for which End Stomas may be seen: Adominoperineal Resection – Removal of rectum, anus, and sphincter mechanisms Hartmann’s Procedure – Distal end of intestine closed, left in abdomen, may drain mucus/stool via rectum Total Proctocolectomy with Ileostomy – Removal of entire colon and rectum Abdominal (Subtotal) Colectomy – Portion of colon removed with rectal anastomosis, emergent procedure with toxic megacolon Restorative Proctocolectomy – Total colectomy, rectal excision and construction of an ileal reservoir with an ileoanal anastomosis 56 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION END STOMA 57 19 4/9/2014 SURGICAL PROCEDURES ADOMINOPERINEAL RESECTION PROCEDURE 58 SURGICAL PROCEDURES HARTMANN’S PROCEDURE 59 SURGICAL PROCEDURES TOTAL PROCTOCOLECTOMY WITH ILEOSTOMY 60 20 4/9/2014 SURGICAL PROCEDURES ABDOMINAL (SUBTOTAL) COLECTOMY 61 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION FUNCTIONAL STOMA WITH MUCOUS FISTULA Bowel severed, 2 ends brought through abdominal wall, 1 proximal and 1 distal Stapling devices have made these obsolete Distal end will drain mucous 62 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION FUNCTIONAL STOMA WITH MUCOUS FISTULA Indications: If Hartmann’s closure not done Distal un‐resectable obstruction 63 21 4/9/2014 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION FUNCTIONAL STOMA WITH MUCOUS FISTULA 64 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION DOUBLE‐BARREL 65 SURGICAL PROCEDURES TYPES OF STOMAS BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION KOCK POUCH – Continent Ileostomy 66 22 4/9/2014 FECAL OSTOMIES AND STOMAS STOMA BASED UPON SURGICAL CONSTRUCTION LOOP STOMA Bowel brought through abdominal wall through transverse opening, everted, and matured.

Empty pouch contents when 1/3 to no more than 1/2 full Use gas filter to release pressure Consult with CWOCN, pharmacist to learn about medications to reduce gas 125 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS Undermining 126 42 4/9/2014 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS PROLAPSE – LATE PRESENTATION Telescoping of bowel though the stoma, varies in length up to greater that 1 foot Incidence varies from 1 to 16%, usually occurs in loop stomas Risk Factors Obesity Increased intra‐abdominal pressure Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Bowel redundancy Weak fascia Technical factors that can lead to prolapsed stoma Improper stoma site outside the rectus muscle Oversized aperture Redundancy of the distal bowel at the stoma site MANAGEMENT Medical emergency requiring ED visit if stoma becomes in color and painful One piece flexible appliance 127 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS Prolapse 128 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS PARASTOMAL HERNIA Defect in fascia allowing loops of intestine to protrude into areas of weakness Appropriate stoma siting may minimize occurrence Presents as unsightly bulge either in one area or total area surrounding stoma with patient in sitting and/or standing position Patient may be insecure regarding pouch leaking Psychologically distressed regarding unsightly bulge Patient may complain of pain in the area of hernia MANAGEMENT Must wear one piece pouch system Hernia support belt/binder (Celebration, Nu‐Hope) must be measured Stool should be kept soft and pasty – prevent constipation Monitor color of stoma, if dark/dusky seek medical attention Schedule regular medical appointments, monitor hernia status 129 43 4/9/2014 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS Parastomal Hernia 130 STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS NECROSIS From impairment of blood flow through the stoma tissue resulting in stoma death Presents dark in color varying from maroon to black , flaccid to the touch Generally occurs within 24 hours after surgery May involve a portion, half, or all of the stoma above and below the fascia Reported incidence of early stoma necrosis ranges from 4.3% ‐ 17% Risk Factors High BMI (Body Mass Index) Short bowel Bowel edema These can increase mesenteric tension and consequently lack of blood flow MANAGEMENT Monitored with flashlight and lubricated pediatric test tube for viability One piece cut to fit transparent ostomy pouch only Can be a surgical emergency If blood flow is compromised at fascia level, patient must return to surgery for a 131 revision STOMA/PERI‐STOMAL COMPLICATIONS NECROSIS Necrotic Stoma 132 44 4/9/2014 PRE‐OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS PRE‐OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS PATIENT ASSESSMENT Medical and Surgical History Type of Surgical Procedure Scheduled Educational Level, Mental and Emotional Acuity Support System – Psychological and Social Support, Financial Issues Coping Styles Cultural and Spiritual Issues Sexuality Language Barriers Vision Hearing Hand Dexterity and Motor Skills Skin Sensitivity/Allergy Other Physical Challenges 134 STOMA SITE MARKING 45 4/9/2014 PRE‐OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS STOMA SITE MARKING Is a pre‐op activity performed by: Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse (CWOCN) or Colorectal Surgeon Pre‐op teaching occurs during stoma‐siting 136 PRE‐OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS STOMA SITE MARKING WHY STOMA SITE? Patient needs to visualize stoma Assists surgeon with stoma placement Promote adequate appliance adhesion Prevent future stoma complications Opportunity for pre‐operative education 137 STOMA SITE MARKING One of the most important aspects of care provided by a WOC nurse Recommended by the American Society of Colorectal Surgeons (ASCS) A retrospective study of 1,616 medical records of persons who underwent ostomy surgery found that stoma site marking by a CWOCN decreased the incidence of stoma complications by half, suggesting that pre‐operative stoma site marking reduces the risk for developing ostomy complications A trained clinician can perform stoma site marking in the absence of a CWOCN or Colorectal Surgeon Should be provided for temporary or permanent stomas 138 46 4/9/2014 STOMA SITE MARKING PATIENT EXAMINED: Supine Sitting Bending /Standing LANDMARKS: Beltline Umbilicus Iliac crest Rectus muscle Infra‐umbilical bulge 139 STOMA SITE MARKING 140 STOMA SITE MARKING PLACEMENT: Within borders of rectus muscle on apex of infra‐umbilical bulge Avoid skin folds, deep creases, bony prominences, and beltline, if possible Location visible to patient Provision of 2.5 inches of adhesive surface for pouching system DOCUMENTATION: Patient in agreement with stoma site 141 47 4/9/2014 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES WHAT’S THIS? 143 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES POST‐OPERATIVE COMMUNICATION When communicating with stoma patients, you need to take account of both their practical and emotional needs Physical needs – how the stoma is managed Emotional needs – how the patient feels about their condition Consider how you would feel if you were told you had to wear a pouch on your abdomen to collect feces and how this would affect the way you thought about your body Sensitive communication includes: Using the right kind of language Being aware of your facial expressions/body language Dealing with a stoma is a very intimate and personal subject Listen to the patient and let them talk about their concerns and worries 144 48 4/9/2014 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES KEY POST‐OPERATIVE EDUCATION COMPONENTS In‐depth discussion of anatomy and physiology of the GI tract Technical aspects of ostomy management (demonstration and return demonstration recommended) Pouching system removal and application Pouch emptying and closure (demonstration and return demonstration recommended) Skin care Ostomy accessories Nutrition/medications Clothing Body image perception Psychological aspects Social/recreation Interpersonal relationships Sexual issues Intimacy issues Common complications/troubleshooting 145 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS CONSIDERATIONS Be sensitive to the religious and cultural issues which may affect the patient Ask for further information when you are unfamiliar with particular requirements There can be wide variety of different beliefs and practices How strictly practices are observed vary greatly, so it is important not to make assumptions Make sure you understand the needs of each patient as a unique individual In certain cultures, having a stoma may be regarded as “unclean”, adding to the difficulties for the patient in adjusting Ritual washing before prayer is required within some faiths, such as Islam or Hinduism Devout Muslims may be reluctant to use their right hand when cleaning their stoma (the right hand being used for eating, the left hand for cleaning and hygiene) Dietary requirements or the need for fasting can affect the frequency and consistency of the stoma output 146 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING Assess learner readiness (teach in small steps) Use of pouch clamp Looking at and measuring stoma Transferring measurement to the barrier (appropriate size selection or cut) Application of Eakin Seal around base of stoma, if indicated Placing barrier around base of stoma If two piece system, snapping pouch onto barrier Placing clamp on tail closure of pouch Emptying and rinsing pouches Peri‐stomal skin inspection 147 49 4/9/2014 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING KEY ISSUES Edema lasts up to 8 weeks Gas and odor Bathing and showering – with or without pouch (picture frame of tape) Clothing styles – no need to change unless stoma on higher plane Sexual function – pouch should be empty before activity, covers available Activities of daily living All activities acceptable, poly‐material caps available for boxing, etc Wear time: Average barrier wear time in US is 4.8 days Type of stoma and length of time since creation significantly affect wear time No significant relationship between geographic location, age, gender, or 148 BMI and wear time (skin condition – age) POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING DIET Use of gas filters, prevention of swallowing air, limit use of straws, refrain from smoking Frequent small meals Fecal Ostomy – Same foods caused gas pre‐op will cause gas post‐op: beans, onions, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beer, eggs Ileostomy – Adequate fluid intake, must drink 8‐10 eight oz glasses of fluid per 24 hrs Must include fluids containing K+ and Na+ to prevent dehydration (Powerade, Gatorade, etc.; sugar‐free for diabetic patients ) Educate patient regarding foods that can increase consistency of fecal output, i.e., bananas, rice, pasta, cheese, applesauce, pretzels, white bread or toast, Rice Krispies Avoid high fiber foods, i.e., coconut, nuts, dried fruit, potato skins, Chinese food, stringy foods, celery 149 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING DIET (continued) Urostomates need to drink 2,000 – 2,500 ml of liquids a day to help prevent bacterial overgrowth and maintain urine pH in acidic range MEDICATIONS Most important consideration is length of small bowel for drug absorption Ileostomy patients May require antidiarrheals Loperamide (Imodium) dose for high output ileostomy: 4 mg twice a day for 4 days, then may increase to 12mg daily for 3 days Diphenoxylate (Lomotil) dose: 2 tables po 4x daily or 10ml solution po 4x daily, then decrease to amount necessary to maintain bowel movement Should never use laxatives Enteric coated medications not absorbed Colostomy patients develop constipation with calcium carbonate antacids/Ca+ 150 50 4/9/2014 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES IMPORTANT J POUCH POST‐OP CONSIDERATIONS High ileostomy output: 1,000 – 2,000+ ml/24 hours, illeostomy bypasses 20% or more of distal bowel leading to dehydration Inform Patient: Of signs and symptoms of dehydration To modify diet to include foods/liquids that will thicken stoma output To take anti‐diarrheal medications to slow output and encourage absorption Loop ileostomy (almost flush to skin) requires extended‐wear skin barrier and convex barriers are frequently necessary Educate patient regarding foods that can increase consistency of fecal output Bananas, rice, pasta, potato, noodles, cheese, applesauce, pretzels, white bread, Rice Krispies Inform patient that rectal pressure/fullness may be present, sitting on toilet expelling rectal contents is expected, mucous may be expelled 151 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE (HRQOL) – PATIENTS’ CONCERNS Impaired body image Fear of incontinence Fear of odor Limitations affecting: Social activities Travel‐related activities Leisure activities Impaired sexual function HRQOL significantly highest among patients satisfied with their care and when they ranked the ostomy nurse as having a genuine interest in them as individuals 3 longitudinal studies demonstrate HRQOL rises steadily during first post‐op year, especially among young adults Greatest rise in HRQOL occurs between the immediate post‐op period and the 3rd post‐op month and gradually improves over the 1st post‐op year 152 POST‐OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES TEACHING OTHER FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HRQOL Underlying reason for the ostomy Presence and severity of ostomy complications Presence and severity of comorbid conditions Sexual function Age
