Ileostomy Management and Risks

Skin Breakdown Risk

• Diaper rash is one risk factor for skin breakdown
• Catheter use increases the risk of skin breakdown

Postoperative Complications

• Postoperative ileostomy may cause retention issues
• Postoperative ileostomy may cause skin breakdown

Ileostomy Management

• Ileostomy is managed with a stoma bag
• The stoma bag is attached with a flange

Ileostomy Catheter

• Ileostomy catheters are placed and removed through the stoma
• Removal of the catheter is done through the stoma after the ileostomy.
• The catheter is straight and removed after the procedure
• The catheter's placement after the ileostomy makes it a higher risk for infection.

Ileostomy Output

• The ileostomy output is a liquidy waste
• The ileostomy output is typically more formed stool
• The ileostomy output can be less formed and resemble diarrhea

Ileostomy Management Tips

• If a patient is refusing to eat, it may indicate a problem with ileostomy
• Rocking back and forth can be a sign of ileostomy problems.
• Encourage chewing food thoroughly
• Use of an enema may help with ileostomy output
• Keep the stoma bag attached and maintained for adequate drainage
• Encourage adequate fluid intake to help soften the stool.

Skin Breakdown Risk

• Diaper rash can increase the risk of skin breakdown

### Catheter Issues

• Urinary catheters can be abused, leading to possible complications
• Urine exists through the stoma
• A catheter is placed in the stoma
• Straight tubing is removed after the procedure
• Bigger tubing may increase risk for infection
• Foley bag may be used

Neurological Changes in Older Adults

• Neurological changes may occur in older adults

Retention Issues

• Retention issues may not always occur

Movement Restrictions

• Restrictions can impact stool formation
• Movements can cause diarrhea
• Enemas can be used to help with water absorption

Stool Consistency

• Looser stool can be caused by a lack of formed stool
• Liquidy stools are the least formed
• Large tubing can cause a less formed stool

Post Operative Considerations (Possible Interpretations)

• “postop” could be referring to a post-operative period
• “Mcsifiction” could be a misspelling of “medication”
• “fi'stofigurine” could be a misspelling of “fistula urine”
• “Ynimiskhadder” could be a misspelling of “in this area”
• “PYYnd mn catheter” could be a misspelling of “permanent catheter”

Other Considerations

• The text appears to be fragmented and may contain typos
• The context of the text may be difficult to understand without further information
