Managing A High Output In The Community: Empowering Patients.
1 2
S Colman ,A Goodey
1 - Hollister Nurse 2 - Hollister Ostomy Nurse, United Kingdom

Aim: Working in the community we have observed that some ileostomy patients develop a high output post discharge. Increasing
implementation of the enhanced recovery program, results in many patients being discharged within a week; a crucial time for an
acute high output. We wish to empower the patients to self-help.
Method: We see patients throughout their journey, including adjuvant chemotherapy. A study by Phatak et al (2013) concluded that
dehydration was the most common cause of readmission for patients with an ileostomy undergoing chemotherapy and suggests that
early intervention is fundamental to improving this.
Often patients are unaware of the symptoms and treatment of dehydration and have required re admission for electrolyte imbalance,
dehydration and, occasionally, acute renal failure.
Conclusion: A literature search revealed that guidelines and protocols for management of high output stomas are aimed primarily at
clinicians in hospital. We have, therefore, developed a simple patient guide to signs and symptoms and an easy to follow traffic light
system for management. The guide aims to raise awareness for patients following discharge enabling them to monitor and self
manage where appropriate. Crucially it should prompt them to seek help in a timely fashion, preventing crisis and repeated hospital
admissions.

S Cotton

Faecal incontinence is often a symptom whose aetiology and management is difficult and complex.
I report the case of a young student aged 13 years who was referred to a boarding school health centre. No neurological deficit or
psychosomatic affect was demonstrated. Definite persistent soiling of his underwear was, however, evident. Considerable debate
regarding what sort of investigations were required were resolved by careful social history taking, which revealed a hitherto
unreported cause of soiling in an otherwise healthy teenager.

Meeting Destiny's Challenge: Norma Gill's Legacy at the Cleveland Clinic
1
L Coulter
1 - Cleveland Clinic, United States of America

Norma N. Gill (1920-1998) felt challenged by destiny to help her fellow man. How she met that challenge has become legend. Gill
became the first Enterostomal Therapist (ET) and established the first program to train enterostomal therapists. This presentation will
focus on Gill's legacy at The Cleveland Clinic, where it all began. Here the practice of the Certified Ostomy Nurse (CON) has been
affected by new challenges and innovations, including serving patients with multivisceral transplants, who begin their lives anew with
chimney ileostomies; managing patients who have single port surgeries and, thus, decreased hospital stays; taking steps to reduce
surgical site infection, and to decrease readmissions due to dehydration. While the primary goal of Cleveland Clinic's CONs is
educating and caring for patients, they also serve as faculty for the R.B. Turnbull, Jr. MD School of Wound, Ostomy, Continence
Nursing by providing lectures and precepting students from around the world. By exploring the current practice of Cleveland Clinic's
CONs, this presentation will demonstrate how nearly 100 years after her birth, Norma Gill's legacy is still meeting destiny's challenge.

Special considerations with neonatal stomal therapy nursing
1
C Stott
1 - Prince of Wales Hospital, Australia

The term 'neonate' refers to the period of time from birth until one month of age. Some neonates are full term when they are delivered
and found to have a condition requiring a stoma. Other neonates are born early, sometimes at 23 or 24 weeks gestation with a very
low birth- weight (under 1 kg) and require stomas due to bowel obstruction /perforation.
Neonates skin is very thin and underdeveloped when born - this is especially true of the low birth-weight infant. The skin takes
between 2-4 weeks post birth to mature to that of a full-term infant. It is very important that nothing is used on the skin that could
further damage it, or allow absorption of topical agents and chemicals. All products including barrier wipes, adhesive remover wipes
and bags that are used need to be carefully considered in this vulnerable group of patients.
Parent support and teaching, pouching techniques, product selection, the impact of feeding and the effects of growth will be
addressed in this presentation.

L Hall
1 Salts Healthcare, United Kingdom

The author aims to demonstrate how collaborative working successfully brought about the management of one complex colostomy
patient, without which an enriched working relationship would not have occurred.
Following a protracted hospital stay, the patient required intensive community support which was provided by the community stoma
nurses.
The hospital team were pivotal in maintaining communication between a multitude of multi-disciplinary team members which
enhanced the patients journey.
Aim: To demonstrate how collaborative working can enhance overall patient care.
To demonstrate how team work has improved the working relationship between community and hospital nurses.
To demonstrate how a challenging situation can be managed by seamless team work.
Conclusion: The author believes that without the collaboration that occurred between primary and secondary care nurses, the end
result would not have been as satisfactory.
The nurses in the acute and community setting were able to share best practice, knowledge and experience with each other, which in
turn facilitated trust and growth amongst both teams. It has helped pave the way for future coherent working relationships and given
the author a greater understanding of the importance and benefits assigned to collaborative working

Focus On Feet To Prevent Falls And Wounds

M Burdette-Taylor
1 - University of Alaska, United States of America

Lower extremity falls and wounds are on the rise with the demographics and projected aging population. Diabetes and heart disease
supersede cancer deaths. A basic foot exam- performed routinely on patients identified as high risk allows time for early intervention
and prevention. A Certified Foot and Nail Care Nurse (CFCN) who evaluates clients on a regular basis, conducts a comprehensive
lower extremity exam for loss of protective sensation (LOPS) and compromised peripheral blood flow is more likely to provide care in
a timely manner. Why a nurse? Because nurses who have the level of education, expertise through acquired training, and are board
certified are competent to assess, educate, provide intervention, and refer. Utilizing CFCNs is cost-effective and efficient. CFCN is
utilized as a member of the multidisciplinary team. Nurses are educators and education is an effective method for prevention. Nurses,
as the most trusted health care provider, communicate, establish rapport, and develop sustaining relationships for the long - term.
Utilizing the Wound Ostomy Continency Nurses' Credentialing Board (WOCNCB) CFCN raises the standard of care substantially and
reduces overall costs to life, limbs, and Medicare dollars. This innovation in practice improves outcomes, patient satisfaction, and
safety while reducing hospital admissions.

This is an experimental study that aimed to determine the effect of preoperative stoma site marking on the quality of life and early
stoma complications.
The study sample included patients for whom a stoma was opened after a planned colorectal surgery. There were 30 patients in the
control group and 30 in the experimental group. The data were collected by using a Patient Identification Form, the Complication
Evaluation Form, the City of Hope Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire (COHQOL-OQ) and face-to-face or telephone interviews.
The average age of the participants in the experimental group was 53.5±12.83, and that of the control group was 58.00±14.22. A
comparison of the two groups indicates that the sixth-month total score of the patients in the experimental group on the COHQOL-OQ
is higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Of the participating patients; 71.7% had peristomal irritant dermatitis, 16.7% had
retraction, 18.3% had bleeding, 6.7% had pain and 1.7% had hyperplasia. The authors found no statistically significant difference
between early stoma complications (first 30 days) in terms of age, gender or stoma type
An educational process before and after the operation as well as stoma site marking increases the quality of life.

P White
1.SecuriCare (Medical) Ltd., United Kingdom

Imagine a service that puts the patient at the very heart of it. A service that listens to those patients and individuals involved directly in
their care, then utilises the feedback to meet these needs and develops a service that people want. By asking people whether they are
receiving the service they need and then implementing improvement on the basis of this feedback helps to make patients feel more
supported and better cared for.
'Patient experience' is what the process of receiving care feels like for the patient, their family and carers. It is a key element of quality,
alongside providing effective clinical and safer care.
The experience we deliver for patients and their families can only ever improve when an entire organisation and their staff, is fully
engaged, open to and willing to accept change and adapt as necessary.
Effective engagement leads to improvements in health service delivery and is part of everyone's role. The aim of this presentation is
to demonstrate and share the value in receiving patient feedback, how that was listened to and effected change, contributing to
service improvement.
In essence - "You Said…….We Did" using patient experience to shape healthcare delivery.

The Romanian Ostomy Patients Support Foundation (ROPSF) has been in existence for over 15 years. The charity aims to support
ostomy patients, provide training for doctors and nurses and to improve the availability of quality ostomy appliances.

More recently it was recognised that there was a need to expand the training to the paediatric population. Paediatric nurses from 4 of
the principal children's hospitals were accommodated in Bucharest for 4 days during April. We undertook an intensive training course
using a variety of teaching methods in order to overcome the language barrier. It is our sincere thanks to our employees and the
ASCN for securing the funding through Jean Preston grant that enabled us to travel and fulfil this work.
The presentation will describe how we prepared, presented the training and how we anticipate this new learning will impact in the
provision of stoma care to these vulnerable babies and children.
The next stage involved 8 of the Romanian nurses coming to the UK to work alongside UK Nurses to consolidate and develop their
knowledge.
The work of the ROPSF enables nurses to feel empowered through education and encourages them to become a significant member
of the medical team.

The author has been a stoma care nurse for a decade but has recently been presented with a lady who had developed a protrusion
around the soft tissue to her perineum. This condition is known as Perineal Hernia.
The condition can have a huge impact on quality of life.
WCET2016 Oral abstracts 4

Aims and objectives:

1. For colleagues to have knowledge of perianal hernia that will facilitate the management of this condition.
2. For nurses to have confidence in diagnosing perineal hernia.
Method: A literature search, identified articles relating to its prevalence, but not to the psychological impact they can have.
Results:
● They are more prevalent when the surgery has been done for cancer.
● If there is pre-operative chemotherapy.
● Not mentioned as complication and rarely discussed pre-operatively.
● Less likely to occur with good primary closure of the wound and no development of infection (Aboian 2006).
● Difficult to repair surgically.
Conclusion - Perineal hernias are obtrusive, demoralising and disfiguring. Patients appear to have reduced quality of life, are unable
to do activities, can get pain and discomfort. There may be a reluctance to socialise, difficulty finding clothes and inability to sit for long
periods.

Body Image And Intimacy - Are Patient's Informed?

S Peckham
1. Securicare, United Kingdom

Body image and intimacy can be severely affected following stoma surgery and this has been widely documented worldwide.
Danielson et al (2013) states that patients who have a good understanding of their stoma on discharge, will have a more positive
effect on their body image and quality of life.
However, with the focus on the practical aspects of stoma care, to facilitate early discharge, the issues of body image and
psychological recovery may not be addressed (Burch 2014). We have to be selective about the amount and type of information we
give, as there could be a risk of 'information overload'.
The purpose of this project was to assess stoma patients' thoughts and feelings on the subject of intimacy and to discover whether
they felt they received the correct information at the most appropriate time.
A series of pilot meetings were held and invited ostomates were given a short presentation on body image and intimacy and they were
asked to complete a questionnaire, to explore their views. The information was then collated and analysed to give an understanding of
the patients' perceptions while providing the nurse with more insight into how and when to address this with patients.

Indigenous Circumpolar Foot And Wound Health

M Burdette-Taylor
1. University of Alaska, United States of America

Health in the Artic among indigenous circumpolar Inuit population is a serious concern. The Inuit span across four nations. They are
descendants from human migrations across the Beringia land bridge 5,000 years ago. There are 167,000 Inuit in Greenland,
Denmark, Alaska, Canada, and Russia. The research conducted in these regions among this population is unique and directly related
to geographic and genetic factors. Geographic remoteness, limited gene pool, and underdeveloped human resources have impacted
the health systems and practices.
Chronic diseases as heart disease and diabetes are called "diseases of modernization". They tend to increase in traditional societies
undergoing rapid changes in diet and physical activity. Diabetes, alcoholism, and frostbite are a few concerns of the World Health
Organization in reference to global health. Neuropathy leading to foot ulcers, wounds, and amputations are increasing exponentially.
Though diabetes is considered a new disease among the Inuit, over the last 2-3 decades glucose tolerance surveys among Alaskan
Eskimos (Inuit) have shown to increase in prevalence.
Global health initiatives have historically excluded indigenous circumpolar concerns. There is much to share from one another. The
population from many nations genetically linked over 5,000 years is a priceless resource for learning.

Management of stoma patient and development of medical technologies simultaneously with innovative stoma equipment increased
the number of patients that needed stoma equipment adjustment.
Ileostomy an active stoma that requires consideration for: accumulation issue, medical equipment, skin health, quality of life
improving, economically streamlining due to the high costs of this equipment.
Quality of life derived directly to the time dedicated for: number of equipment replacements, unwanted disconnection, feces leakage
and injury to the skin.
In Israel the equipment provided at no cost to stoma patients, therefore the health system looks for resistant and stronger equipment
in order to address the growing number of stoma patients over time. The equipment must have good adhesion, connection to skin at
least for 3-5 days, no leaks.
In 2015 were 75 patients released with stoma, 30% of them having aggressive stoma, treated specifically with double adhesive layer
equipment.
Results: the equipment hold on the skin between 3-5 days without leakage or dealing with stoma beyond what is necessary and
patient satisfaction increased significantly.
The solution is, equipment double adhesive layer provides a response to the quality of life of the patients and provides them
confidence and trust with 30% less expense.

Introduction: Managing high output ostomies/fistulae, as short-gut syndrome, is challenging in terms of appliances, risk of leakage,
skin lesions and associated risks of malnutrition and dehydration. In an interdisciplinary approach, coordination and collaboration with
dieticians/nutritionists as physicians are required in order to adapt the most appropriate care, treatment and information given.
Method and results:A better knowledge has been collected based on a research conducted by a task group of the Swiss Association
of Stomatherapists, specific scientific articles, other EBN documentation and a specialized course in Clinician Nutrition. In daily
practice, these data are useful for having:
A better understanding of the dietary fibers: properties and indications to prescription.
An inventory of drug treatment, oral nutritional substitute: how best to use them.
A more detailed composition of mineral waters for micronutrient supplementation.
And a more systematic screening and evaluation of patients.
Discussion: In addition to find better appliances and propose a step by step protocole, these information allowed us to implement a
scientific based decision algorithm of care.Sharing knowledge with other professionals on clinical situations enable us to learn from
each other and to improve our care. Patient quality of life can be improved and major complications avoided.

Aim: The purpose of this abstract is to demonstrate how the stoma nurse was involved in caring for a trans-gender patient with
longstanding body image and psychological issues pertaining to body image and assumed chimerism instilled by parents from birth.
Method: This presentation will take the form of a case study demonstrating and exploring how the stoma care nurse was involved in
assisting the patient to overcome negative body image issues and addressed several long standing psychological issues including
assumed chimerism.
Results: The presentation will show how the stoma nurse worked collaboratively with the Multi-disciplinary team ensuring the best
possible outcomes for the patient. This enabled the patient to feel empowered in the selection of an appropriate appliance to address
her altered body image perceptions.
Conclusion: This complex case study has proven to be an enormous challenge for all involved. The stoma care nurse was able to
address many of the body image issues associated with stoma formation as the patient states she is "disfigured". This was one of the
main issues addressed and has ensured the patient has been able to resume socialising in as normal a manner as possible for her.

In 2013 members of the Australian Association of Stomal Therapy Nurses (AASTN) volunteered as Stomal Therapy tutors to teach in
the first stoma, wound and continence nursing education program (SWCNEP) in Kenya. This program was set up as a World Council
of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) Twinning Project between Australia and Kenya and is the first project of its kind in /sub Saharan
Africa. A team of 10 Australian STNs participated in this 2013/2014 program with 18 nurses from Kenya and 2 from Tanzania being
trained as the first Stoma Wound and Continence Nurses in their countries.
The second program began in May 2015 with 18 nurses from Kenya and one from Togo in the class. The aim of the program is
sustainability and seeing the enthusiasm, passion and capabilities of graduates from the first class now being mentored as SW CN
tutors and engaging with the new students is so gratifying. The future of this Twinning Project as a sustainable program appears to be
in good hands.
The presentation describes this challenging journey portraying the wonderful resilience of patients, their families and the nurses
involved with their care. It proves that passion, perseverance and vision can make a difference.

Results: 207 patients (53% women), median age 70 years (19-94) participated. Main diagnoses were colorectal cancer (62%) and
inflammatory bowel disease (19%). Stomas were: colostomy (71%), end-ileostomy (26%), loop-ileostomy (3%). Patients had one or
more complication (27% stoma-complications, 11% peristomal skin-complications). A colostomy hernia was the most common
surgical complication (20%). In colostomy patients with stoma height of ≤ 5 mm, there were significantly more women (69%) and
emergency surgeries than in patients with a stoma-height >5 mm. A colostomy height of ≤ 5 mm was significantly associated with
convexity use. Of patients operated acutely, 37% were not stoma-sited p<0.0001. There was significantly more use of convexity in
emergency operated patients.
Conclusion: An adequate stoma-height might prevent the frequent use of convexity. Differences in body configuration should be
considered in determining adequate height at stoma construction with special attention at emergency surgery.

Prof. K Cutting
1 .Clinical Research Consultant, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

To record the views of 5 patients who used silicone technology seals/gel filler when hydrocolloid flanges had failed to maintain a
leakage-free peri-stomal seal.
Patients (N=5) who had experienced peri-stomal skin problems (leakage) with hydrocolloid stoma appliance opted for specially
formulated silicone gel adhesives with hydrophilic additives in an attempt to achieve improved quality of life. No financial incentives
were offered to the patients who freely offered their qualitative feedback.
All patients achieved improvement in quality of life following introduction of the silicone technology. These resulted in: avoidance of
leakage, improvement in condition of the peri-stomal skin condition, resolution of peri-stomal pain/soreness, improvement in patient
confidence in maintaining system integrity, and improvement in bag wear time. These improvements were found in inverted and
poorly sited stomas. The ostomates also commented on that the silicone was easy to remove. Examples of qualitative comments
included:
"It is soft flexible and easy to place around your stoma"
"confidence to go out and start living my life"
"essential part of our changing routine"
"saved so much time and my skin is so much better"
Patients who used a revolutionary silicone patented technology found significant improvements in their stoma related quality of life.

I Want To Know And I Don't Want To Know: Creating Atmosphere For Compliance

R Ziperstein
1. Sorasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel

Aims: Stoma patients faced with loss of self-esteem and sense of control, may withdraw or participate incompletely in ongoing
therapeutic plan. We describe a model for nurse-patient interaction designed to create a climate of compliance.
Methods: Nurses can promote compliance by bundling the patient's personal tasks, which are associated with individual success,
with acceptance for self-care of stoma.
Results: Getting a stoma is often the "last straw" in the package of serious disease, surgery, and painful recuperation. Stoma
acceptance is often low, presenting in refusal of self-care. The treatment model established uses meaningful aspects of the patient's
life before surgery to create a link to the rehabilitation process.
When stoma care is framed as one more daily task to perform, comparable in its complexity to other tasks that the patient is used to
completing successfully, then the abstract difficulty of stoma care transforms into a manageable situation.
A housewife can be reminded of her ability to manage an active household, while an executive thinks on his challenging work
environment. This connection between familiar tasks and stoma care, paves the path for compliance.
Conclusion: Creating a link between stoma care and positive skills, leads to better compliance with stoma self-care.

Introduction: Prevalence of chronic diseases for children is 10-15 % including the diseases of intestine or urinary tract resulting with
ostomy. Realization that their child has an incurable disease is one of the hardest moments in the parents' life. They needs time to
accept and support from relatives and medical workers. At ostomy patients, enterostomal therapist and someone with similar
experience should be included.
Aim: Aim of the research was to explore parents feelings at the time of receiving the information and how that experiences changes
throw the process of acceptances and also to find out key points for nurses support.
Methods: Quantitative data was gathered throw a half structured interview including parents, relatives and health care workers
dealing with family's.
Results: Parents are important part of care team, giving the child support and information to medical workers, gain self-confidence
and confirmation, that they are taking good care of a child.
Conclusions: Interdisciplinary treatment is essential. Including all relevant people armed with knowledge how to help. Parent's role
as a care giver is very important but the health care workers should not forget to "treat", help and support them to.

Clinical problem: Adult male in United States hospital with bowel ischemia resulting in total enterectomy. Patient presented for small
bowel transplant evaluation and non-healing midline incision. Initial consult from Intestinal Transplant Team (ITT) requested
containment of exudate, preservation of peri-wound skin with wound healing. Assessment revealed undermined midline incision
complicated by duodenostomy, with pancreatic and biliary ducts at base causing erosion of mucocutanous junction and tunneling to
PEG tube.
Past Management: WOC nurses' attempts to segregate stoma from wound by pouching failed.
Separate stoma pouching combined with gauze-based Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) failed.
Clinical Dilemma: Continued wound erosion, complete separation of mucocutaneous junction resulted in large, undermined open
wound with tract to PEG tube and severely denuded peri-wound skin. Daily leaks caused patient pain and suffering. Patient removed
from transplant list.
Current Management: Removal of all midline sutures and debridement of necrotic tissue allowed for application of NPWT, with black
foam, over wound/stoma. Stoma was protected by layers of petrolatum-infused gauze.
Outcome: Patient's wound healed and he is independent with stoma pouching. Patient returned to transplant list.
Conclusion: Including stoma in NPWT application while protecting bowel with layers of petrolatum-infused gauze eliminated
impediments to wound healing.

Objective: To know the experience of female adolescent who is incontinent and requires intermittent catheterization.
Method: Qualitative study, under the theoretical reference of symbolic interaction, and the data were analyzed according to the
grounded theory, it had the consent of parents and the assent of the young. Informants: two teenagers aged 14 and 17 years.
Results: they were organized in five interactions: with itself: the lack of control of and dislike with her body, frustration, fear and
anxiety, insecurity about their future sexual-reproductive life: shame and the duality between (despair and desire for
self-improvement); with her parents: the troubled relationship; with other teens: resentment, fear of being seen as different, not be
sexually attractive, disconfort by indiscreet questions and desire for revenge); with the catheter: the relationship is ambivalent
dependence and autonomy, and the social environment: public spaces exposed to embarrassing situations.
Conclusion: Adolescents grow up with a series of physiological challenges that affect their daily life and the family, nurses should
clarify the adolescents expectations about the procedure, it is very important to establish a solid therapeutic relationship to encourage
them to express the unspeakable (suicide ideation); It's needed a multidisciplinary support for a longer period of time.

Aim: To explore variables related to peristomal breakdown, including but not limited to, the use of plastic bridges or flexible catheters
to secure a loop ostomy.
Methods: Demographic and clinical variables for 93 patients (2008-2015) with surgical loop ileostomy (n=72) or loop colostomy
(n=21) were analyzed. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses were performed. The variables were: age, gender, length of
stay, diagnosis, type of bridge, wound presence, skin integrity, and pouch leakage.
Results: The study population had slightly more females (56.99%) than males (43.01%) and the ages of the patients ranged from 19
to 96 years, with a mean of 59.6+16.47 (SD); median of 60 years. The average length of stay was 7.793+6.819 days (SD). In this
sample, the primary reasons for surgical bowel diversion were cancer (60.22%), inflammatory disease (16.13%), and non-cancerous
bowel obstruction (9.68%). Flexible catheters were used most often (53.76%), followed by plastic bridges (40.86%). 22 patients
(24.44%) had pouch leakage. Leakage occurred 3.55 times more often with plastic bridges compared with flexible catheters
(p=0.002).
Conclusions: Flexible catheters may reduce pouch leakage in the post-operative period. Findings provide a springboard for
interprofessional collaboration between ostomy nurses and surgeons to improve patient outcomes.

User's satisfaction with the catheter interferes in their adherence to the technique of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Evaluate
their perceptions regarding the different types of catheters available in order to indicate their preference may be an step toward the
satisfaction.
The questionnaire was applied to 59 users in three rehabilitation centers of Brazil, who evaluated 03 different catheters, using a
questionnaire and an assessment instrument for customer delight, to test the convergent validity between them.
All 56 crosses between the instrument questions and issues adapted enchantment statistically significant (p <0.05), for the evaluation
of the set for CIC, only three intersections that had no significance in the evaluation of hydrophilic catheter, indicating significant
convergence between the issues of the two instruments. In evaluating the conventional catheter, already used by the study subjects,
the data also showed different behavior (convergence of 23 crosses). The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of conventional catheter was
0.862, 0.793 to the hydrophilic catheter and 0.911 for the set for CIC. These values indicate strong internal consistency of the
instrument.
It was possible to develop an instrument to measure user satisfaction with the use of catheters for CIC, with convergent validity and
internal consistency.

Aim: To describe novel approaches to ostomy formation in complex situations.

Methods: We present three challenging scenarios in which the best patient outcomes were achieved by means of unconventional
ostomy formations. We reference the published literature, current practice, and relevant anatomical considerations.
Results: Case 1: A patient presented with an obstructing mid-rectal tumour and a competent ileocaecal valve. Instead of a loop
colostomy, the patient underwent formation of a loop ileostomy with decompression of the proximal colon via the distal limb. The aim
was to leave the left colon intact to facilitate future rectal resection, and avoid bilateral ostomy wounds.
Case 2: Following emergency repair of a strangulated incisional hernia, a patient required ileostomy formation through a large area of
debrided abdominal wall. The ileostomy was therefore unsupported and required hydrocolloid bolstering to facilitate wound healing
and isolate output.
Case 3: A patient developed a perineal enterocutaneous fistula following a pelvic exenteration for recurrent anal squamous cell
carcinoma. A loop ileostomy was formed proximal to the fistula, sharing the same trephine as the existing colostomy, enabling the
patient to avoid a third ostomy formation.
Conclusion: In challenging situations, innovative approaches to ostomy formation must be considered to optimise patient outcomes.

Background: Symmetrical peripheral gangrene is a rare complication following septicaemia with a high mortality and amputation rate
in survivors. Distal ischaemic damage to small vessels appears to occur in the absence of major vessel disease, and develops in
critically ill patients due to entirely different primary diseases.
Clinical case presentation and Methods: Two brief case studies are presented of patients from Royal Darwin Hospital who
survived this condition following severe illness precipitated by a tropical infection unique to the region - Meliodosis. Both patients
suffered multi limb amputation as a consequence. A combination of surgical amputation and conservative wound care to ischaemic
digits and peripheral gangrenous tissue were performed
Results/Discussion: A multidisiciplinary approach for wound care and rehabilitation resulted in survival, healing of wounds and
subsequent functional mobility with use of prosthesis.
Conclusion: Despite significant bodily insult as a consequence of this condition it is possible for return to functional independence
and quality of life. Early identification of tissue hypoxia and actions to modify effects of vasopressors while in Intensive Care may limit
the extent of this unusual and devastating condition.

Mrs. H Yona
1.Soroka medical center, Israel

Background: ELC is a common procedure that usually does not result in complications. Some complications (wound contamination,
bile/bowel content leakage, bleeding) require laparatomy and closure with a BOGOTA bag. That may lead to the formation of fistulas
with large amounts of excretions, which makes difficult to find a suitable long-term sealing device. Recently, we conducted FWM for
fistulas in an open/closed abdomen with a Bogota bag.
Case study: A 52 years-old man, 24 hours after ELC, preceded resuscitation and emergency laparatomy due to deterioration of his
condition, leading to shock. Approximately two liters of blood was observed in the abdominal cavity. In ICU the patient was sedated
and ventilated, with abdominal closure using a Bogota bag. Four fistulas were formed in the lower abdomen with a large amount of
fecal excretion. FWM was found to be an efficient solution to the collection of excretions, protection of skin, savings in dressing
materials and nurses' time. The patient died after 3 months due to uncontrolled sepsis.
Conclusions: Use of FWM seems to be the efficient solution for the treatment of fistulas in an open/closed abdomen with a Bogota
bag. After this pioneering trial, the method was successfully implemented on additional hospital patients.

Background: Diabetes prevalence is estimated to increase by 2035 to around 592 million for all age-groups worldwide. Diabetes foot
ulcer is predicted to occur in 25% of diabetes patients during their lifetime, with 85% resulting in lower extremity amputation.
Therefore, preventive interventions as well as regular foot care is recommended for diabetes patients
Aim: This review aims to identify the role of foot care in diabetic foot ulcer prevention
Method: A scoping review method used in this study. Databases searched included PubMed Central, the National Library of
Medicine National Institute of Health and Indian Journal of Medicines Sciences. The inclusion criteria of this review followed PCC
(Population, Context, and Concept). Key search terms were combined diabetes mellitus, foot care and foot ulcer.
Result: An initial search found 250 potential articles. After removing ineligible articles, 30 met the inclusion criteria. Concepts relating
to foot care practice included diabetes and foot problems, foot care theory to practice and factors influenced both health providers and
patient.
Conclusion: Poor practical foot care is a predisposition factor of diabetic foot ulcer, which leads to amputation. Hence, foot care
educational and practice are demanding among diabetes patients.

The Association of Stoma Care Nurses UK developed and launched their National Stoma Care Standards and Audit Tool in 2013.
These standards were written to identify safe quality care in order to improve outcomes of care for patients and meet expectations by:
 Reflecting patient needs, changes in surgical techniques and current evidence based practice
 Stipulating gold standards to promote consistency
 Providing a framework and benchmark
 Providing an audit tool - for measurement and demonstrating practice

Seven quality statements where identified using a statement, structure, process and outcome framework to encapsulate the referral
of a patient through to long term specialist stoma care support.
nd
Following a positive evaluation of the standards in 2014, we are now ready to unveil these national standards in 2015 as a 2 edition
having updated and incorporated specialist standards for the child and gained accreditation from the Royal College of Nursing.
This presentation will highlight the journey to produce these National Standards for Stoma Care and how these have evolved,
developed and been evaluated. Another outcome, is the development of National Clinical Guidelines including 13 stoma related
practices which aim to promote consistency and quality of care to our patients with a stoma.

Aim : This study was conducted as a multicenter,prospective and descriptive research for the purpose to determine the effect of
stoma site marking on the development of stomal and peristomal complications.
Methods: A total of 292 patients who had been followed up in five stomatherapy units in Turkey between January 1,2014 and
December 31,2014 constituted the study sample.Data was collected through the questionnaire form developed by the investigators.
For the data analysis,descriptive statistics and chi-square,Fisher's exact chi-square and Likelihood ratio tests were used.
Results: Ileostomy was opened in 55.1% of the patients,colostomy in 40.1% and urostomy in 4.8%.Stomas were temporary in 74% of
cases.The stoma site was marked preoperatively in only 32.9%(n=95) of the cases.The complication rate in individuals in which the
stoma site had not been marked was 73%,whereas it was 22% in individuals in which the stoma site had been
marked(p=0.003).Stomal/peristomal complications have developed in 34.2%(n=100) of the individuals and the most frequent
complication was peristomal skin problems(41.9%).
Conclusions: As a result,the stomal/peristomal complication development rate was significantly lower in individuals in which the
stoma site had been marked preoperatively.According to the results,preoperative stoma site marking by a Wound Ostomy
Continence Nurse is recommended in all patients undergoing planned surgeries.

Aim: To work collaboratively to establish an effective pathway to ensure ostomists have a structured review of their stoma and
appliance usage.
Background: Literature has indicated it is essential that ostomists are supported following stoma formation. The importance of
specialist stoma care services to identify unresolved problems and introduce ostomists to methods of stoma management that may
be more suitable to their lifestyle was highlighted in a study in 2012 (Notter 2012).
Method: To address this discrepancy and ensure a collaborative, integrated approach with Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and
NHS Trust, a detailed review has been undertaken. The involvement of industry to provide the clinical resources and the Medicine

Optimisation Pharmacist was instrumental to fulfil our aim. We agreed a formalised structure that would enable all patients to be
reviewed through a co-ordinated process with GP surgeries/pharmacists on a yearly basis. By undertaking Appliance Usage Reviews
on each consultation, this would provide the necessary specialist assessment to demonstrate meeting patients' needs and the clinical
decision process to support individual prescriptions.
Conclusions: By sharing the same aims and values the Colorectal Nursing Team, CCG and Industry have collaborated to establish
a seamless and fully integrated pathway for care of ostomists.

Aim: To evaluate this new appliance on comfort, ease of use and security.
Method: The survey has been proposed to ET nurses in 8 European countries. Ostomates who were wearing this new appliance
were included.
An evaluation form had to be completed by each patient and an overall appreciation to be given by patients and ET nurses.
Results:1155 patients were included by 307 ET nurses in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland and
Finland between 04/2013 and 05/2014. 74% of the participants were new and 26% experienced ostomates. 45% were ileostomates,
39% colostomates and 16% urostomates (1% other). 45% of the used pouches were drainable, 26% were closed, 16% were uro
pouches and 12% High Flow pouches (1% other).
All results will be presented in detail. The use of the guiding system and the security feeling during wear were rated as "Very
satisfying" or "Satisfying" by 91% and 86% of the 1155 participants, respectively. 67% of the participants would continue to use this
new appliance.
Conclusions: This patient survey demonstrates the value of this new appliance. In particular, the mechanical coupling system with a
new guiding system goes along with high flexibility, comfort and security.

Aim: To describe the current situation and future perspectives of colostomy irrigation (CI).
Method: Embase and PubMed based literature update review on CI.
Results: 8 studies focusing on CI and published since 2010 could be identified. As in previous studies, it was found that CI, despite its
proven benefits, is still far from being routinely taught to nurses and patients: "Education on this procedure is urgently needed for
ostomy nurses unprepared and/or unfamiliar with CI." (Cobb MD et al. 2015). As this situation should eventually change at long last,
it is our intention to further promote knowledge of the technical details of the CI procedure as well as of the advantages of CI as
highlighted e.g. by the "Evidence-Based Report Card" which has recently been published by Kent DJ et al. (2015). Moreover,
attractiveness of irrigation equipment may also have an impact: a modern, newly developed electrical pump for CI can possibly
contribute to stimulate interest among ET nurses and patients in CI.
Conclusions: In order to allow colostomates to take an informed decision about whether or not to manage their bowel through CI,
increased educational efforts for both ET nurses and patients are still warranted.

Introduction: Reversal of a temporary loop-ileostomy is the final step after a long treatment for rectal cancer. Studies have shown
that patients often have a significant impact on the bowel function after reversal of the stoma.
WCET2016 Oral abstracts 18

Aim: To describe how the patient experienced the first time after reversal of a temporary loop-ileostomy due to rectal cancer.
Method: Qualitative semi-structured interviews, with sixteen patients, were conducted 4-6 weeks after stoma reversal. The
interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis according to Graneheim & Lundman (2004).
Result: The experience following stoma reversal was characterized by being controlled by the altered bowel function, which led to
restrictions in social life. Patients were coping by using their ability and knowledge, planning daily life, taking the rough with the
smooth, refraining from eating, challenging themselves and being positive about the future. To regain normality the patients found it
important to get rid of the stoma and be restored.
Conclusion: The patients had resources and capacity, but felt that they could not themselves control the situation with the altered
bowel function satisfactorily. Through a nurse-led follow-up clinic the nurse can use the patient's capacity to visualize existing
resources to help the patient cope with the situation.

Learning objective
To demonstrate effectiveness of zinc cream to heal macerated periwound and protect it from maceration.
Maceration is defined as the softening and breakdown of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture. Failing in managing
wound exudate most likely will lead to periwound skin breakdown, leaving the wound looks wider and at the end will delay wound
healing.Two diabetic foot ulcers and a breakdown abcess presented to clinic. The wounds had a moderate-heavy exudate and
macerated periwound skin. All of them were treated using antimicrobial dressing combined with absorben dressing, and zinc cream
applied on their periwound skin.After 10 days, in average, of zinc cream application, the maceration of periwound skins reduced
significantly. And using the zinc cream on intact periwound skin in these cases, provided an effective barrier againts exudate
exposure.

Faecal incontinence distressing condition for young women who have just given birth. However there is limited literature examining
the effectiveness of obstetric injury primary sphincter repair and other factors which may contribute to a higher level of residual anal
sphincter damage.
The aims of this study were to; assess at six months post partum the anal sphincter structure and function of primiparous women who
sustained an anal sphincter injury; to assess if severity of the initial anal sphincter injury or the residual damage following primary
repair correlates to faecal incontinence severity; to identify any factors which may contribute to higher residual damage following
primary repair.
181 women, mean age 29.9years with an anal sphincter injury attended perinea tear clinic. 46% had faecal incontinence at 6 months.
th
The majority had 3A tear and only 6% had 4 degree tear. There was a high rate of women with sphincter defect after primary repair
and this correlated with severity of faecal incontinence.
Faecal incontinence is not just reliant on intact anal sphincters and is much more complex. It may be useful in preventing future faecal
incontinence to examine those women who have had a prolonged and difficult delivery which may affect continence.

Background: Stoma related complications are still high despite advance in surgical techniques. This paper aims to present a patient
complicated with peristomal wound infection after stoma revision and our experience to prevent fecal contamination.
Case: Fiftyfour-year old female who received Hartmann procedure for rectal cancer and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy presented with
bowel obstruction. At laparotomy, colorectal anastomosis and because of severe stricture at ileum with proximal bowel edema, end
ileostomy was performed. Following stoma revision for retraction in 2 months, we observed mucocutaneous detachment and wound
infection which subsequently caused evisceration from previous incision. After two bedside interventions, wound debridement and
negative pressure wound therapy were performed. At 2nd session, in order to keep the ileostomy above skin level, ileum was freed
from fascial attachments as granulation tissue allows and pulled up partially. At the end of 4 sessions, adequate granulation was
observed and wound edges were approximated appropriately. We have been following the patient without any wound problems.
Conclusion: It is important to prevent fecal contamination to parastomal skin and subcutaneous tissues in patients underwent stoma
revision. In cases having contamination to open wounds, negative pressure wound therapy and stoma-care products may be applied
to isolate wound and ease healing

The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 was an unprecedented calamity which claimed more than 18,000 lives including
the missing. Especially Miyagi, Iwate and Fukushima prefecture suffered severe damage. Although there are approximately 250,000
people with ostomies in Japan, nearly 8,000 ostomates in the three prefectures mentioned above also sustained disadvantages such
as collapse of buildings caused by the earthquake, outflow of their houses to the sea due to tsunamis and a series of nuclear
accidents. We JJSSCR have examined measures against natural disasters since our experience of the Great East Japan
Earthquake. Specifically, we intend to raise awareness of disasters among ostomates and health care providers, to build up a contact
network in an emergency by dividing the whole of Japan into 13 regions and to support ostomy supply, a network of care and publicity.
From now on we are going to more closely cooperate with Japan Ostomy Association Inc. (JOA), other related societies and a safety
net of ostomy supplies and work out countermeasures against natural disasters which can make the most of regional characteristics.

Aims: To study post-operative aftercare for the young ostomy patient. (ICOEF* supports paediatric patients and families in
acceptance of ostomy surgery. It believes that long-term aftercare of children is vital to full psychological recovery).
Methods: ICOEF studied the effects of ostomy surgery on a group of 158 children/families who have asked ICOEF for assistance.
ICOEF included its larger support networks in this study. (UK, USA, CA, AU) with additional input from other interested countries.
Results: Our research has shown that this is a 'grey' area, dependent on the varying resources available. Immediate aftercare, both
in-hospital and at home, is offered to a high standard almost everywhere. However, ongoing aftercare, particularly in remote areas, is
lacking. Problems do not always emerge until months/years afterwards. Then, resources for assistance can be costly and difficult to
obtain (due to budget constraints being expended on immediate care).
Conclusion: Additional long-term psychological aftercare following paediatric surgery should be available to patients and their
families - either offered by medical services or by the many international support groups. ICOEF continues to expand its own
resources in this field worldwide, but cooperation is needed with both appliance manufacturers and nursing specialists to achieve this
objective.

Evidence on management and costs of wound care are insufficient and inconsistent. The aim was to quantify the resources used for
the treatment and respective direct costs of treatment.

Methods: Study took place between January 2012 and December 2013. Newborn, pediatric and adults in hospital settings (2 days)
and primary health care (1 week) in all users admitted or enrolled in health facilities wounds were classified into two groups: according
to the etiology and chronicity. To estimate the cost, it was decided that cost would be estimated by combining the use of resources
such as the time required for the nurse and the dressing material.
Results:108 840 users were examined and 5274 had wounds; The time of existence of a wound had an average of 189 days was
significantly higher in chronic wound compared to acute wounds (p <0.001). The average time for each treatment was 15.72 minutes
and an average cost per treatment estimated at € 14.90, the average value was significantly higher in the context of CSP compared to
CSD ( p <0.001). C
Conclusion: Data collected from 229 health units provide a valuable resource for government protection, estimate costs, monitor the
progress of wound and its clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Pressure ulcers (PU) have always been a problem for health services, especially for nursing and multidisciplinary
teams, due to the incidence, prevalence and peculiarities of treatment. PU increases the direct and indirect costs with treatment and
alter the quality of patients' life.
Aim: To analyze the prevalence of PU in bedridden patients.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach carried out with records of patients admitted to a public
hospital in the year 2013.
Results: The population was 78 bedridden patients and of these, 15 were admitted with PU and 13 developed it after hospitalization,
totaling a prevalence of 35.9%. Regarding the profile demographic and clinical partner: 51.28% male, 50.0% elderly, hypertensive
43.6 and 20.5% diabetes mellitus, 50.0% of PU located in the sacrococcygeal region and 25.0% in the heals. As for classification
under NPUAP-EPUAP 27.3% were in category I, 30.3% in category II, 30.3% was not registered. Conclusion: The prevalence of PU
was high in diabetic and hypertensive elderly. It is necessary to establish protocols to prevent permanent supervision to reduce the
number of PU and improve the quality of care and nursing records.

Pressure ulcers are painful, most patients report pain as "constant", and pain assessment should be included in all patient care plans.
The aim of the study was to assess the state of knowledge of pain with PU
Methods:A cross-sectional study with a stratified sample according to specificity of the study, assuming an error of 1% with a
confidence level of 99%. Results: More than 108 000 patients observed, 5274 patients with wounds and 854 patients with pressure
ulcers. Regarding pain assessment, 806 patients answered accordingly the visual scale of pain. The average pain during day was
1,54 (SD =1,87) a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. The level of pain treatment increases for the double, the average during
treatment was 2,9 (SD=2,56). Data shows that the main factor of worsening pain was the change of dressing material, more than 50%
of patients referred moderate and severe pain during treatment compared with during the day.
Conclusions: The results provide a clear indication that all patients should be asked whether they have pain on pressure areas, even
when they do not have a PU. Control wound pain can play a major role in enhance patient quality of life.

Introduction: Skin wounds represent a major challenge for cardiopneumologic critical care patients. Aim: to identify and analyze the
incidence of pressure ulcers (PU) and skin tears (ST) and the risk factors for their development in Cardiopneumologic Intensive Care
(CICU) patients.
Method: A prospective cohort study was developed in a Surgical CICU of a large hospital in São Paulo city. A sample of 370 adult
patients without PU and ST on admission, admitted less than 24 hours and who agreed to participate in the study were studied during
three consecutive months. Univariate tests and the Classification Regression Tree (CART) were used for data analysis.
Result: incidence coefficients of 10.8%, 7.0% and 2.2% were obtained respectively for PU, ST and concurrent wounds - CW
(simultaneous PU+ST). Length of stay in CICU <9.5 days and age >42.5 years old were risk factors for PU and for CW; white race for
PU development; use of support surfaces and the number of invasive devices in CICU admission for ST; and use of blood transfusion
for CW. Conclusion: The study showed incidence and risk factors were similar to other publications just for PU. No publications were
found about ST and CW incidence in critical patients.

and the secondary aim was to examine the predictors of colostomy quality of life.
WCET2016 Oral abstracts 22

Methods: The translated Stoma-QoL was tested using a convenience sample of 219 colostomy patients from 3 tertiary hospitals in
China.
Results: The content validity of the STOMA-QOL was .90. The Chinese version of the STOMA-QOL consisted of 20 items
(STOMA-QOL-C) with 4 subscales as follows: Psychological Burden(8 items), Social Interaction(4 items), Stoma Management(4
items), and Daily Routine(4 items). The Cronbach's alpha, the intra-class correlation and a split-half Spearman-Brown coefficient for
the total scale were .935, .912 and .828, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy, body image
change, family members' acceptance of stoma except their spouses and self-care ability were the predictors of quality of life among
Chinese colostomy patients, while self-efficacy was the most important influencing factor.
Conclusion: The STOMA-QOL-C has been proven to be a valid and reliable measure to assess the quality of life among colostomy
patients.

Mr. L Adiyanto
1 .ESA Holistic Nursing Center Semarang / Wocare Center Bogor, Indonesia

Background: Bedwetting is a socially disruptive and stressful condition which affects around 15% to 20% of five year olds, and up to
2% of young adults. Some individuals are too embarrassed to wear panties for solution. Fortunately, hypnosis is being suggested as
a more permanent solution to allow those who experience incontinence to maintain their life. Specially for client with no physical
damage in urinary system.
Aim: To assess the effects of 3 steps of hypnosis on adolescent with bedwetting
Method: Six adolescent clients with bedwetting completed one sessions of hypnosis.
Every client receives therapy sessions for one hour. Three steps hypnosis includes the expression of feelings, relaxation, and direct
suggestion.
Results: Clients were followed up for one, three and six months. Five clients were entirely symptom free and 1 improved.
Conclusion: Hypnotherapy is effective for this disorder. Hypnosis won't only help to reduce the incontinence but it will also help the
emotional and psychological issues that came alongside. It also has the benefit of no side effects. In this instance goal is be in control

Pain management in orthopedic patients has been a major concern over last few decades. Even with advancements in understanding
of pathophysiology, pharmacotherapies and non-pharmacotherapies of pain, it still remains under treated &poorly controlled. The
evidence has showed that the pain management is often underestimated or mismanaged by health professional
Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of multidisciplinary pain management to accelerate wound healing in patients
with grade III open fracture of the lower extremity who will undergo skin graft/flap.
Method: Thirty patients having grade III open fracture are randomly assigned to either an experimental group or control group.
Pharmacology and non-pharmacology therapies are used to reduce the pain. Tissue oxygen levels, the wide of granulation tissue, the
level and duration of the readiness of skin graft are obtained to assess the acceleration of wound healing
Result: This study is still on going until the number of samples is met which is carried out from August 2015 to November 2015. This
research will provide evidences to support the use of multidisciplinary pain management in health care setting.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study will be generated after evaluation of these research interventions

Dr. J Fronek
1.IKEM Prague, Czech Republic

Small bowel (SBTx) and multivisceral transplantation (MVTx) is a method of choice for selected patients with short bowel syndrome
and other disorders. The Czech national small bowel transplant progam strarted in December 2014 with two cases. Graft included
stomach, duodenum, pancreas, spleen, liver and small bowel. In case of small bowel transplant there is always ileostoma performed,
kept for up to six moths after transplantation. Main reason for the stoma creation is the need for biopsy. The biopsy is needed to
proove small bowel rejection. The ileostoma is an access into the small bowel lumen, where graft mucosa biopsies are taken on
regular basis after the transplantation. Not only the microscopy but also the macroscopic view of the bowel graft is important. On
contrary, each patient with SBTx/MVTx graft is challenged not only with high risk of rejection, but also infection, including skin
infection and iritation around the stoma.
In both above mentioned MVTx cases we have successfully used Flexima 3S High Flow 2-piece mechanical coupling system. There
were no leaks and no skin irritations observed, the system served both patients well. In one case the system was used for 39 days, in
the second one for 67 days.

Introduction:
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has emerged as a non-pharmacological treatment for complex wounds.
Aim: We investigated the effectiveness of NPWT in the management of large complex perineal and dehisced wounds in our setting.
Method: Retrospective review of patients undergoing NPWT over a 26-month period (May 2013 - July 2015). Inclusion criteria were
perianal and perineal wounds >5cm in diameter and/or depth including large perineal and dehisced wounds. Diverting colostomy was
created where indicated. Outcome measures were complete healing.
Result: The study comprised 16 patients (10 males; M:F 5:3). Indications for NPWT were excision of hidradenitis supurativa (10),
excision of perianal warts (2), wound breakdown (3) and excision of large perirectal abscess (1).
Duration of NPWT was 1-7 months. Time to complete healing was 1-7 months. Eight patients had a colostomy. All healed with no
complications and all were happy with the outcome. There were no deaths.
Conclusion: NPWT is a safe and effective treatment for complex perineal and dehisced wounds. Colostomy use for perianal and
perineal wounds can be individualised. The satisfaction rate is high. This treatment should be considered as standard of care for
complex perineal and other dehisced wounds.

Objective: To determine pressure ulcers incidence and risk factors in intensive care units
Methods: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 766 pacients without pressure ulcer 24 hours after their admission in the units were
studied. The variables of interest were collected in the patients digitalized records. The statistical analysis were done using
cumulative incidence, Pearson´s Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney´s and Stepwise Forward methodologies
Results: patients in artificial ventilation had a risk of developing pressure ulcers 3.5 times higher; patients in palliative care had a risk
7.8 times higher in developing pressure ulcers; each day of hospitalizations increased the chance of developing pressure ulcers in
10.1%; each point in Nursing Activities Score increased the chance of developing pressure ulcers in 1.5%; the risk for developing
pressure ulcers were 2.3 higher in patients aged between 60 and 84 years, compared with those with less than 45 years and this risk
was 2.7 higher in patients older than 85 years compared with those with less than 45 years old. Conclusion: the incidence of pressure
ulcer was high and strongely associated with mecanical ventilation and lenght of stay.

Dr. G Weir
1. Vascular &Hyperbaric Unit, Eugene Marais Hospital, South Africa

Health care-associated infections in hospitals, including surgical site infections, contribute significantly to morbidity as well as
mortality. Surgical incision management (SIM) using negative pressure wound therapy is designed to cover and protect closed
surgical incisions from external factors including infectious sources and local trauma, while negative pressure removes fluid and
infectious material from the surgical incision. A prospective case-control study assessed wound complications in patients undergoing
vascular bypass procedures, where both femoral areas were incised to gain access to the femoral arteries. SIM was placed on one
femoral area while a standard postoperative wound dressing was placed on the contralateral femoral area. All of the patients required
bilateral femoral artery access. During the follow-up period patients were monitored for wound complications. All wound complications
requiring surgical intervention were considered significant. No significant wound complications occurred in wounds treated with SIM.
These preliminary data would suggest a potential reduction in wound complications and no observed increase in haemorrhage in
high-risk patients with severe co-morbidities undergoing vascular surgery.

X Huo ,W Wang
1 Jiangsu Provincial Nursing Association 2 - Nanjing First Hospital, China

Aim: Access to an Enterostomal Therapy Nurse (ET) is limited in developing countries. In China, population aging and rapid
increases in urbanization and middle class affluence are associated with increasing chronic disease, patient needs and expectations.
There are over 1 million ostomates, but only 1,000 qualified ETs in China. Most ETs are concentrated in large cities while patients in
rural and remote areas lack access to their expertise. To address this discrepancy mobile internet technology was used to improve
remote patient consultations.
Method: Jiangsu ETs in collaboration with Sino-America Health Technology Information Ltd, developed a mobile-internet based ET
platform. This allows ETs to monitor post-operative recovery and rehabilitation and allows patients and ETs a platform for ongoing
consultations. The application facilitates scheduling workloads, case management, collaboration and data management.
Result: By September, 2015 296 patients had been managed by 22 ETs using the platform. Over 300 care consultations occurred
during the 2 month pilot project and was estimated to have saved over 70 hospital visits and associated costs. This presentation will
report the latest data and progress.
Conclusion: The mobile internet platform can effectively provide adequate remote consultation. The electronic records have great
potential to facilitate research.

Dr. G Weir
1. Vascular &Hyperbaric Unit, Eugene Marais Hospital, South Africa

The presence of a biofilm in a chronic wound is considered an important contributing factor to delayed wound healing. This makes
cleaning the wound bed an essential component of wound management. Chronic wounds contribute to a significant financial burden
on health care systems all over the world. Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) solutions, with its surfactant
and antimicrobial function, are believed to have an advantage over the more traditional saline in promoting wound bed preparation.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of PHMB solution forcleansing of chronic wounds compared to saline solution in private
practice in South Africa.
Method: Systematic review of literature, cost-effectiveness and real world budget impact analysis of PHMB solution versus saline
solution.
WCET2016 Oral abstracts 25

Results: The initial results demonstrate that the PHMB solution is well tolerated by patients and not only cost-effective, but potentially
beneficial when the total cost of treatment is calculated. Conclusion: The use of a PHMB solution is not only feasible, but well tolerated
and even preferred by patients. The initial higher cost is offset by a potentially shorter time to heal and a reduced total cost of
treatment. (The initial results of this pilot study will be presented).

Aim: To describe a study that will examine whether routine outcome monitoring, with a clinical feedback system, has positive effects
on the adjustment to life with an ostomy. A secondary aim is to investigate predictors of adjustment to life with an ostomy.
Method: This non-randomized controlled study will include patients with a newly formed colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy. The
intervention includes monitoring of self-reported measures related to adjustment to life with an ostomy. The measures are
electronically assessed before each clinical consultation; 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. The findings are instantly analyzed and
graphically presented for use in the following consultation. The patient and the stoma nurse then discuss the findings. Thus, a model
of a clinical feedback system is implemented. For comparisons we use a historical control group consisting of patients that recently
have received standard care. These patients completed the same self-reported measures as a part of an observational study. The
main outcome is the overall score of the Ostomy Adjustment Scale. The study is powered to detect a significant difference of 0.37
standard deviation units.
Conclusion:This study presents a novel approach that may lead to improved consultations and adjustment to life with an ostomy.

Enterostomal Therapy Nursing in Malaysia, has long existed even when the speaker was a Student Nurse way back in 1980s, but the
Nurses at that time did not undergo any structured program as per World Council Enterostomal Therapist (WCET) Education Program
(ETNEP).
Patient was operated and the stoma care was cared by the sales representative, as for the wounds mainly the Doctor will managed
and the Nurses will carried out the order. At that time we even need to do dressing 4 times a day even during night duty. Incontinence
was never even mentioned.
We only started sending Nurses for this formal training in 1994 onwards. Australia was the first country that Malaysian Nurses are
able to go for this program and then in 1995 to Hong Kong and subsequently we run our own program under our Malaysian
Enterostomal Therapy Nurses Association(METNA) and also in University Malaya Medical Centre.
The journey was not an easy journey but due to our commitment and determination we have managed to train more Nurses to cater
for the needs and the journey continues towards our future direction.

Continence involves men and women and can be at any age groups even it is very much related to elderly but we still have younger
age groups that suffer from incontinence.
Urinary problems related to a few problems such as storage, voiding, feeling of urgency, leakage, and many more problems.
Incontinence can have a great impact to an individual's life and it must be a concern to all of us. No one wants to lead their life soaking
with urine.
In Malaysia continence care is still an infancy stage, we are crawling but we must say we are moving forward and towards the right
direction. Continence Foundation of Malaysia (CFM) should be recognized as a body that responsible for the beginning of
incontinence care in Malaysia.
Continuously we have put up our effort in organizing more workshops and seminars to give awareness to all especially our Nurses so
that they will be able to be our agent to disseminate the words about incontinence. We know we need to do more, with our
vision to see our hospital to be the first hospital to establish Continence Clinic in Malaysia or at least the few in this regent.

Mrs. M Mohd Nasir
1. UMMC

Fistula is defined as abnormal communication between 2 epithelialized surfaces. It can arise from the duodenum, jejunum, ileum,
colon, or rectum.
ECF IS an external fistula to which is an abnormal communication between 2 hollow viscera, complication that is usually seen
following surgery on the small or large bowel. Study suggests that about 95% of ECFs were postoperative, Ileum was found to be the
most common site and 49 % of fistulas were high output and 51% were low output.
ECF are responsible for a significant mortality rate, ranging from 5-20%, due to associated sepsis, nutritional abnormalities and
electrolyte imbalances. ECF normally being manage according to conservative treatment such as fast the patient, start with total
parental nutrition, management of the drainage or fluids, strict intake output recording, monitoring of body weight and the most
challenging aspect is the management of the fistula including the dressing.
The key goals of nursing management are protecting the skin from contact with the drainage, contain the output using a pouch for
easy measurement, manage the cost since it is quite costly to manage a fistula in terms of supplies and human resources, control
odour and provide patient's comfort.

When the World Council Enterostomal Therapist (WCET) Past President, Ms Louise Forest-Lalande approached the speaker to
discuss about collaboration, she was excited and really looking forward and knew this is the beginning of it in fulfilling the vision and
mission of the organization that she has work for the last 30 years.
The idea of selecting UMMC to be part of WCET training centre for clinical placement for Asian Nurses is dream come true.
After much of discussion, Louise presented the planning at the WCET meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden June, 2014. It was the
Canadian Association of Enterostomal Therapist (CAET), WCET and ET Team of UMMC! This initiative is to build ET
Nursing capacity in Nepal, to help Nepalese Nurses clinical training in UMMC after they undergone a training module via distance
learning/online with the Canadian Asssociation of Enterostomal Therapist of Canada (CAET).
Our international network will be seen as a unique opportunity to unite Enterostomal Therapy Nurses (ETN) in UMMC and share
information to promote best practice in ostomy, wound and continence care globally and probably a stepping stone for future
collaboration with others.

Mr. M White
1.Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Necrotising Fasciitis (NF) is a rare but debilitating bacterial infection which sometimes results in the formation of a stoma if it involves
the perineum, abdomen or genital regions. It is a potentially fatal condition and patients undergo extensive skin and fascia stripping in
order to eradicate the bacteria. They can face months of hospital treatment such as antibiotic therapy and surgery with skin grafting.
This presentation aims to explore the myth that the bacterial agents responsible for NF, otherwise known as 'flesh eating bugs' are a
rare phenomena as well as the causes and treatment for this condition. Photographs of NF will be included.
The role of the Nurse Specialist will also be explored in relation to the management of these patients.

Aim: 20 years' experience with appendicostomies. About100 children have gone through the procedure. Main underlying diagnoses
are myelomelingocele, anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung disease.
Method: Twenty years' clinical experiences of three ET-nurses are systemized.
Result: ET nurses are easily accessible for these families. Interdisciplinary approach is important Pediatric Psychiatrist, Pediatric
Surgeon and the ET-nurse work as a team for these children.
ET-nurse always sees the patient and the parents in the outpatient clinic for age appropriate pre-operative information. Some families
need several visits. The ET-nurse marks the stoma-site, and decide preoperative bowel preparation. ET-nurse assures necessary
equipment, prescription and plan for washouts and laxatives at home. Hospital stay has been reduced. The child sees the ET-nurse
3-4 weeks postoperatively. If a foly catheter is placed, it is withdrawn at this time. A single use catheter is inserted with instruction.
After evaluation of the washout history over the first weeks, adjustments are made. Specific advice concerning bathroom routines is
given, and we encourage the child to become independent. The child is seen after 3 months, then follow up visits are individualized.
Conclusion: ET nurse plays an essential role in the pre- and postoperative treatment of children with appendicostomies.

Aim: To study and evaluate the feasibility and accuracy for the application of decision tree method on the risk prediction of
hospital-acquired pressure ulcers in ICU patients.
Method: A retrospective design for collecting 468 patients' records in a university hospital in Guangzhou, China. All the patients were
hospitalized in ICU (MICU, CCU) between 2011 and 2013. The risk prediction model was generated with decision tree method, and
the ROC curve was used to evaluate prediction value of the decision tree model and Braden scale.
Result: The decision tree model had four stratum and eleven nodes, which screened out three kinds of high risk populations: (1) age
>81; (2) age ≤81 combined with fecal incontinence; (3) age ≤81 combined with total Braden score ≤13 and diastolic blood pressure
<60mmHg. The sensitivity (80.9%), specificity (70.3%), Youden index (51.2%) and the area under the ROC curve (0.828) of decision
tree model was higher than that of Braden Score (77.7%, 58.7%, 36.4%, 0.711).
Conclusion: The decision tree model is an easy and feasible tool to predict the risk of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers in ICU
patients, and it could be used to develop the screening strategy of high risk population of pressure ulcer in ICU.

Aim: To describe the incidence, location and stage of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) in mechanically ventilated patients
in ICUs and identify risk factors for their development.
Method: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted in a university hospital in Guangzhou, China. The sample consisted of 270
mechanically ventilated patients in ICUs from 2011 to 2014. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 20.0.
Results Of the 270 patients, 136 patients (283 HAPUs) developed HAPU during mechanical ventilation. The incidence of HAPU was
50.37%. Excluding stage I (60 patients), the incidence was 27.78%. Of the 283 HAPUs that developed, 156 (55.12%) were Stage I,
114 (40.28%) were Stage II, 3 (1.06%) were Suspected deep tissue injury, and 10 (3.53%) were Unstageable. The most common
locations developed HAPU were sacrum (35.69%), heels (14.13%), and neck and face(10.25%). Logistic regression
analysis showed that Braden score (OR=0.873, [95%CI: 0.776, 0.983] P<0.05), length of mechanical ventilation (OR= 1.057, [95%CI:
1.016, 1.099] P<0.01) and steroids use (OR=2.002, [95%CI: 1.140, 3.516] P<0.05) were independent predictors of HAPU
development.
Conclusion: The incidence of HAPUs in mechanically ventilated patients in ICUs is high. Low Braden score, prolonged mechanical
ventilation, and steroids use are risk factors of HAPUs.

Aim: To establish effective strategies nursing care for the prevention of skin lesions in people whose health conditions are at risk
Method: Systematic review of the scientific literature of the last five years in the Medline, Science Direct, FECYT, OVID - with the
descriptors Nursing Skin Care, Nursing Care, injuries, Primary Prevention, Iatrogenic Disease, covering nursing strategies for
preventing skin lesions.
Results / Discussion: it was found that the use of different technologies for the prevention of skin lesions, the implementation of new
protocols and guidelines for care are appropriate, however, there is little adherence to the use of effective strategies for the
implementation of these protocols due to the high workload of the nursing team related to the time of patient care and continuity of
care.
Conclusion: in strategies for preventing skin lesions in patients at risk of suffering, nursing plays a fundamental role, however, the
methodologies used for the implementation of guidelines and protocols are not effective unless they have a continuous monitoring
and evaluation of interventions in the care of patients. The methodologies for the implementation of strategies are essential to ensure
the effectiveness of the guidelines and protocols for the prevention of skin lesions.

Aims: In order to provide highest quality care of children born with high anorectal malformation (hARM), the health care organization
needs to better understand daily life in children born with hARM. This pilot study aimed to explore daily life in school-aged children as
described by their parents.
Method: Interviews with six parents of five children aged 8-12 years (two boys, three girls) born with hARM were conducted.
Transcribed interview data was content analysed by two researchers.
Result: Three categories were identified: 1) Managing disability 2) Being like others 3) Being reminded by the surgical scars. The
children had to plan their daily activities and prepare bowel management to avoid constipation and faecal incontinence. They were
dependent on others to manage their condition. Most of the children were open with other people about their condition and reported to
cope well. Body issues due to their surgical scar, feelings of being different compared to peers were described.
Conclusion: Although quality of life issues were raised, daily life was in general described in positive words. Attention was paid to the
ostomy surgical scar. Future studies are warranted to advance knowledge of condition-specific quality of life issues reported by
children.

1 .St. Michael's Hospital 2 – UHN

Aim: Colorectal surgery (CRS) is associated with a 4-25% surgical site infection rate, despite peri-operative best practices. Health
care providers rely on traditional markers of wound infection which may not be sufficient for clinical decision making. The development
of a handheld fluorescence imaging (FI) device allows rapid visualization and quantification of bacterial contamination at the
point-of-care, based on intrinsic fluorescence signals.

Methods: CRS patients (n=7) presenting with abdominal wounds and known or unknown infection were enrolled. The FI was
evaluated for detecting subclinical bacterial contamination and guiding (antimicrobial) wound treatments when combined with
conventional clinical signs and symptom (CSS) assessment. Patients were followed for up to 4 months to track progression of wound
size and bacterial load.
Results: Results show that FI enabled rapid visualization of focal areas of bacterial colonization in large midline abdominal wounds.
FI allowed more accurate microbiological sampling of wounds with a sensitivity of 80% for detecting bacterial colonization compared
with CSS. FI also confirmed the absence of bacterial colonization (specificity 70%), reducing unnecessary use of antibiotics in these
patients.
Conclusion: Handheld FI, when used with standard CSS, enabled better detection of otherwise subclinical bacterial colonization in
surgical sites.

WCET2016, Final list of poster abstracts 4

Aim: Patient education is a hallmark of preparing the patient to live with a new ostomy. Education comes in a variety of media,
1
including print, digital and oral. Clinicians prefer print as it is readily accessible and cost effective. Yet shortened length of stays and
increasing complexity of care mean that educational opportunities are limited, and patient recall post-operatively is typically poor
2
potentially compromising their care.
The use of comics in health care is well described. Now considered a legitimate form of literature, the combination of pictures and
3
texts in comics allows for improved learning. Comics improve the retention of new information, helping to form bridges between old or
familiar knowledge and new information.
Method: A series of ostomy patient education materials were developed using a free on-line comic maker called BitStrips©. The
comic maker allows custom characters and scenery to be built and saved. The comics were used as a basis to describe common
lifestyle considerations for ostomy care including bathing, buying supplies, and travelling.
Result: Patient response is positive: the comics are felt to be easy to read, engaging and easy to remember.
Conclusions:Comics can be useful tools in enhancing ostomy patient education.

Promoting Patient Self-assessment: A Refresh Of Take A Look

1
Ms. J Hoeflok
1.St. Michael's Hospital

Aim: Undergoing ostomy surgery is documented as stressful for patients. Studies describe the multitude of concerns these
1
individuals experience, including peristomal skin irritation, and odor and leakage. The severity of peristomal skin disorders is known
2,3
(up to 77%), as well as the poor ability of patients to self -identify peristomal complications. In 2012, a program called Take A Look
was initiated to help patients self-identify peristomal skin complications. This program has evolved and includes a patient survey to
determine satisfaction with the program.
Method: The Take A Look program (brochure, laminated shower cards, treatment booklet) was developed to help patients identify
normal and abnormal ostomy conditions. The program has subsequently expanded to include an annual checklist for self- review,
USB pre-loaded with ostomy information, and colouring books for children to complete. In the summer of 2015, a survey was sent to
patients asking for feedback.
Result: The results of the survey will be shared. Verbal reports from patients indicate that checklists are the most useful out of all of
the available tools.
Conclusion: Multiple forms of media are required to engage patients in their ostomy care. Take A Look is a multi-faceted program
that provides guidance for patient self-care.

1.St. Michael's Hospital 2 - Mount Sinai Hospital 3 - UHN 4 - Sunnybrook Hospital

Aim: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal program developed to decrease postoperative complications,
enhance recovery and promote early discharge for patients undergoing colorectal surgery (CRS). This standardized approach was
adopted by 15 hospitals in March 2013. All elective CRS with or without an ostomy were included in the program, with a targeted
length of stay of 3 days for colon and 4 days for rectal surgery. Given this expedited care model, it was important to ensure that the
individual needs of patients requiring an ostomy were met.
Method: A provincial ERAS Enterostomal Therapy Nurse (ETN) Network was struck, with a goal to develop and publish ostomy
specific clinical practice guidelines for ERAS patients requiring a fecal diversion.
Result :Recommendations addressed the pre- and post-operative, and initial discharge periods for the CRS patient. These targeted
statements will facilitate a standardized approach to the care of patients with an ostomy. The recommendations are grounded in
literature and will be disseminated to key stakeholders.
Conclusion: Advances in the care of the patients having CRS require ongoing evaluation of processes. The ERAS ETN Network was
able to facilitate the development of a comprehensive approach to the care of ostomy patients.

P45 Teaching Strategies For Conservative Sharp Wound Debridement (cswd) Using Video Demonstration.

Ms. R Hill ,L Wolfe
1.Vancouver Coastal Health 2 – VCHA

CSWD is defined as removal of loose, devascularized tissue, callous or hyperkeratotic tissue with the aid of a scalpel, scissors, or
1
curette above the level of viable tissue.
It is important to train practitioners to be competent in CSWD as there is a growing body of evidence that effective debridement is
2
associated with reduction in wound exudate, odour and the appearance of granulation tissue in the wound bed.
3
Analysis by Coutts et al 2012, concluded that surgical and CSWD were the most cost effective debridement methods. However,
these techniques are underutilized as they are outside the comfort zone of many practitioners and other techniques are often
employed which may be costly and less effective. It is imperative to create workshops teaching the technique of CSWD; including safe
use of scalpel, scissors, and curette.
WCET2016, Final list of poster abstracts 5

The content for the CSWD workshop included anatomy of the skin and structures encountered during debridement, benefits and
contraindications, all methods of debridement, professional and legal issues including consent. The learner viewed the practitioner's
technique, as well as had opportunity to practice in a supervised setting. Workshop participants responded favorably with a renewed
understanding of CSWD as a result of the "real life" videos.

Hospital/Östra

Introduction: To undergo ostomy surgery means a major change in a person's life.

Aim:To describe adjustment to life with an ostomy and aspects of quality of life (QoL) in persons with an ileostomy or colostomy one
year after ostomy surgery
Methods: 150 patients (82 women/68 men), median age 70, at Sahlgrenska University Hospital participated. Patients responded to
questions about adjustment to life with an ostomy, using the Ostomy adjustment scale. All participants also responded to; "What is
your definition of QoL, and what contributes to good QoL?" which were analysed with content analysis.
Results: 70 % of patients considered they were able to live a fairly normal life. 43% felt less sexually attractive.
A majority felt well-informed and knew the proper methods for managing their ostomy and could talk to and ask their ET nurse about
problems related to their ostomy. To be independent and able to participate in various activities contributed to good QoL. Concerns
about recurrence of the disease was an obstacle to QoL.
Conclusion: Most participants adjusted well to life with an ostomy and considered life to be normal. The ET nurse was important for
patients to resume their new life with an ostomy.

1.A.I.O.S.S. (Associazione Italiana Operatori Sanitari in Stomaterapia) 2 - Welland Medical

Introduction: Peristomal skin damage represents a major complication for ostomy patients both immediately after surgery and long
term. Manuka Honey from New Zealand is well known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties due to the high concentration of
Methylglyoxal.
The aim of this study is to verify improvements in skin condition with the use of the Aurum® pouches compared to participant's usual
pouches and the effect on Quality Of Life (QOL).
Method: The observational examination of Aurum® pouches with Manuka Honey is being executed in 23 different Italian Stoma
Centres, from May 1st until October 30th, 2015.
Participants at the study enrolment are informed about their involvement and their clinical condition, usual pouch's features and their
QOL are assessed. After 2 weeks on the Aurum® trial, they are visited again for their clinical condition and QOL perception to be
re-assessed. Patients involved have skin problems (dermatitis, skin inflammation/irritation) in the peristomal skin, without recessed or
retracted stomas or parastomal hernias.
Results and Conclusions: The results of the study will be presented at the WCET conference, but the initial data confirms our
hypothesis: Manuka Honey is effective in prevention and treatment of peristomal skin damage.

1.Coloplast A/S

Introduction: People living with a stoma have different body profiles and may be challenged with their stoma appliance. The
decision-making process for choosing the right appliance, with most optimal fit, is not simple. Often decisions are based on
experiences and best practice - there is no universal guide.
Aim: Take complexity out of convexity by making a simple, need-based guide that can help identifying the right stoma appliance.
Method: Literature review and qualitative discussions in focus groups with 219 Stoma Care Nurses from Coloplast Ostomy Forum
boards in 16 different countries. The Coloplast Body Profile Terminology1 was used to describe key body profile characteristics.
Result: The convexity guide is designed as a wheel. It recommends the right stoma appliance based on a two-step evaluation of body
profile characteristics as well as the position of the stoma opening and the degree of challenges in the peristomal area.
Conclusion:
The new convexity guide has a simple and need based approach to help choosing the right stoma appliance

The Benefits Of A New Soft Convex Stoma Appliance: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
1 1
Mrs. T Kruse ,Dr. Z Størling
1.Coloplast A/S

Introduction: Living with a stoma may compromise physical and mental well-being. One of the main challenges is leakage: for those
who use flat appliances, changing to convex may be beneficial. Nevertheless, the trade-off is lack of flexibility and comfort. A new
appliance, SenSura Mio Convex Soft, has been developed to meet the unmet needs of ostomists who will not compromise between
freedom of leakage and comfort.
Aim: To investigate the benefits of SenSura Mio Convex Soft.
Method: In this randomized, controlled, cross-over clinical trial, three appliances were compared in ostomists who experience
leakage with their own flat appliance. The degree of leakage under the baseplate was measured using a new objective method.
Furthermore, various performance parameters were evaluated using a 5-point likert scale from "very good" to "very poor".
Result: The study included 38 participants with ileostomy or colostomy. While evaluated as flexible and comfortable, SenSura Mio
Convex Soft reduced leakage significantly (p<0.01) and provided a better feeling of security when compared with own flat appliance
(p<0.01). Furthermore, SenSura Mio Convex Soft was the most preferred soft convex stoma appliance (p<0.01).
Conclusion: SenSura Mio Convex Soft may be a good solution for ostomists challenged by leakage with flat appliances.

Dr. Z Størling ,H Walker ,G Hopkins
1.Coloplast A/S 2 – nhs

Background: The size and shape of a stoma vary from person to person and sets high demands on stoma appliances. Stoma
appliances with integral convexity barriers are designed for those with less than ideal stomas and help the stoma to protrude into the
pouch. It also provides a better fit around the stoma, which may help prevent leakage and sore skin.
Aim: To evaluate the performance of a new flexible convex stoma appliance, SenSura Mio Convex, that is designed to enable a
better fit to the body and reduce the risk of leakage.
Method: A multinational randomized controlled cross-over trial including 129 people with an ileostomy. Each arm tested the
performance of SenSura Mio Convex and the participants own stoma appliances in periods of 28±3 days. Degree of leakage under
the baseplate, bodyfit, comfort, preference as well as stoma-related quality of life were evaluated.
Result: SenSura Mio Convex showed significant reduced leakage, significant improved bodyfit, comfort and stoma-related quality of
life, and was the overall preferred product when compared with the participants own stoma appliance.
Conclusion: SenSura Mio Convex is the preferred convex stoma appliance with significant enhanced properties that improves the
stoma-related quality of life.

Mr. M Rasmussen ,Dr. Z Størling
1.Coloplast 2 - Coloplast A/S

Background: Living with a stoma often leaves a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). Most often, QoL is presented as a numerical
result without further explanation. However, studies have shown that QoL is correlated with various outcomes such as leakage and
skin complications, which are related to the use of a stoma appliance.
Aim: To get a better understanding of what lies behind the QoL score, and evaluate how the performance a stoma appliance can
affect QoL.
Method: A new stoma appliance related QoL tool (evaluating 23 items on a Likert-scale) were used in a randomized clinical trial
investigating the performance of a new convex stoma appliance compared with an already marketed stoma appliance.
Result: An overall significant improvement in QoL (p<0.001) was observed using the new convex stoma appliance. Assessing each
QoL item one-by-one revealed that large improvements were related to the discreetness of the appliance, how comfortable it was to
wear, the confidence that it did not leak and how it affected the users social intimate relationships.
Conclusion: The underlying items of a QoL score can reveal important aspects of the performance of a stoma appliance and how it
affects the overall well-being of an ostomate.

The case stories of some of our patients with very complicated stoma.
Caring for the ostomy patients can be problematic, particularly if complications occur.
Dealing with complications is one of our major tasks. We have to cope with any difficult situation concerning a stoma or peristomal
skin.
We have to know how to improvise.
We can help our patients deal with the physical and psychological challenges of living with an ostomy.
We could strengthen their confidence. We know that condition of the soul is the state of a body.
The patients may benefit from access to an experienced stomanurse. A many of them knows it.
A global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, It is not unusual for us that an unknown

Mrs. J Trojanova
1.FN Hradec Kralove

Aim :We are facing increasing number of surgeries resulting in a temporary or permanent stomas. Hospitalization time is being
reduced and patients with ostomy are discharged faster. They have to be able to cope with ostomy care at home and return to their
everyday life in a much shorter period of time. Our priority is to get the patients familiar with ostomy care as much and as early as
possible. Our educational process starts in preoperative period followed by postoperative period, discharge and home care. It always
depends on disease, subsequent therapy, patient's age, skills, psychological state and possibility to include family into the
educational process.
Methods :In my work I will present an overview of ostomy care educational process and practice in our clinical department. I will
document the process by case studies.
WCET2016, Final list of poster abstracts 8

Conclusion: If we use individual approach to each patient in the different periods of ostomy care, if we include the family in the
educational process and the care itself then we create ideal conditions for the patients to cope with ostomy care at home and come
back to their everyday life keeping the quality of life at the maximum possible level.

Background; Fistulas are usually the result of trauma or surgery, but can also result from infection or inflammation. The management
of fistulas can present the health care team with a complex challenge. Two unusual case studies will be presented. Both cases were
associated with profuse exudation, dermatitis, leakage, difficulty in fitting equipment and a decreased quality of life. Objectives:
Providing optimal patient care and quality of life, including maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance, prevention of skin and soft
tissue damage, while striving to remain within financial limits of the health organization.
Method: Use of varied types of equipment with dynamic interchanges as the nature of the fistulas changed, appropriate caregiver
instruction and daily follow-up.
Result: Skin condition gradually improved, as did patient satisfaction and quality of life. The first patient remained at home for a month
before returning to hospital, where he died of his underlying illness. The second was discharged home with subsequent fistula
closure.
Conclusion: An accurate evaluation, fitting of appropriate and varied equipment, caregiver instruction and encouragement with

The Evolution Of Ostomy Barriers: Ceramide Infused Barriers Promoting Peristomal Skin Health
1 2
Ms. J Hoeflok ,A Townshend
1.St. Michael's Hospital 2 - Ostomy Care and Supply Centre

Aim :Ostomy pouching barriers have evolved: original glass and porcelain systems in the 1930's were replaced with zinc based
barriers in the 1950's. Modern hydrocolloid barriers were introduced in the 1970's, giving way to most currently used pouching
systems. Product developments were matched with the introduction of broad principles of care, such as the protection of the stoma
and peristomal skin.
Recent literature highlights the prevalence of peristomal complications, ranging from 16-74%. This suggests that current principles
and available products are insufficient to meet the goals of care, leaving room for product improvement.
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids present in the skin. Their role is to improve skin barrier function by maintaining its water
7
permeability. Skin barriers infused with ceramides are a recent advancement in ostomy barriers.

Method:This case series will describe the impact a ceramide infused ostomy skin barrier can have on peristomal skin health and
patient comfort.
Result: Patients demonstrated positive responses to the utilization of a new ceramide infused ostomy barriers.
Conclusion:This ceramide infused barrier allows ET nurses to reassess their traditional care model of reacting to peristomal
complications, and consider a new model that encourages prevention of peristomal skin issues.

Aim: Obesity impairs patient's psyche in general. This could become even worse if he has to undergo acute surgery resulting in a
stoma location which is not appropriate for self-care. However, such acute situations when no preoperative care is possible, occur
and stoma care nurse has to cope with it together with the patient.
Method: I would like to present a case study showing the complicated stoma of an obese patient who struggled with stoma care due
to his obesity and wrongly located stoma. Patient was not able to care for his stoma and he was dependent on his relatives (mainly his
wife). Patient used to be a well-known and respected physician before he retired which also had a huge impact on his psychical
condition. The case study also shows recommended ostomy device usage and it is documented by pictures.
Conclusion: It is very important to include family relatives in stoma care and use individual approach to patients. This can improve
quality of life of an ostomy patient.

Aim Crohn's disease presents significant discomfort for patients. One of the many symptoms of this disease are forming infiltrates,
both internal and external fistulas and abscesses. 70% of those patients undergo surgery - resection of the affected part of the
intestine, eventually creation of temporary or permanent stoma. Treatment with corticoids and insufficient physical activity can often
lead to weight gain. In this case, the patient is at risk of formation of hernia, or other complications that may worsen the overall
condition and recovery period.
Method: Case study presents a patient with Crohn's disease who had to undergo several surgeries including necessary Miles
surgery and abdominoplasty of parastomal hernia. There was a risk of ileus due to stoma stenosis and recurrence of bulging
abdomen. The defect in peristomal area was treated with moist wound healing dressings. This is documented by pictures.
Conclusion: Positive view of the situation, patience and perseverance of all involved caring people is an essential part of treatment
which results in increased quality of life of patient.

Aim:To present clinical experiences of using vesicostomy button in children.

Method: A protocol for follow-up encompassing registration of indications, size of the button, date, need of sedation for button change
and complications was used in fifteen children, five girls and ten boys (22 months -17.3 years) who had a vesicostomy button inserted
during June 2012 to March 2015.
Result: The children treated with vesicostomy button suffered from bladder dysfunction due to neurogenic bladder or VUR
association, posterior urethral valves with polyuria, bladder exstrophy. The average duration of use was 11.9 months (1m- 27 m). The
button change was performed every three months at the hospital. Sufficiently many of the children managed this procedure with
sedation using nitrous oxide or midazolam. Minor complication occurred; local infection (n= 3) granulomas (n= 5), urinary tract
infection (n=3), muddy urine (n=2) and obstruction of the button (n=1). No one had problems of leakage.
Conclusion: The use of vesicostomy button in children can be beneficial for bladder drainage. Minor complications seem to occur.
Importantly it is a good alternative to a suprapubic line, when clean intermittent catheterization through urethra is impossible and there
is not yet indications for a Mitrofanoff continent urinary diversion.

A New Use For Radiation Therapy Temporary Mark Covers: Adaptation And Incorporation Into Ostomy Clinical Practice For
Stoma Site Marking
1 1
Mrs. V Livingston ,N McEntee
1 .MSKCC

Purpose: The
Ambulatory WOC nurses at a major Cancer Center are responsible for stoma site marking in clinic during the consent visit. Many
patients are marked 30 days in advance due to their travel arrangements as they live in other cities. Some are marked for 2 stomas
and in complex cases 2-4 marks are needed. It was essential to clinical practice to maintain the accuracy and longevity of these
markings so an investigation into the best type of protective covers to preserve the temporary marks was initiated.
Objective: Previous methods included covering the indelible marker with a transparency, or gauze then a transparency. Some
patients developed skin reactions, some transparencies came off before the 30 days and the marks needed reinforcement. The WOC
nurses found a temporary mark cover used in radiation therapy and trialed it on stoma site markings and found that the patients were
able to maintain the marks. There were no complaints of skin issues, and the surgeons reported easily finding their guiding marks.
The temporary covers were easy to apply, pre-cut, and patients could shower yet maintain the stoma site marking.
Outcome: The temporary mark covers have now become the standard at this institution.

Mrs. V Livingston ,V Pfeifer
1.MSKCC

Purpose: Clinical knowledge and the literature suggest that peristomal skin complications usually occur in the early post-operative
phase. The purpose of this study was to track and assess post-operative urostomy patients with peristomal skin complications, and
the type of skin barrier being used. The WOC Nurse focus was to prevent future skin complications.
Method: An observational study was conducted in which urostomy patients were assessed post-operatively at 2 weeks post
discharge, and within the first 3 months for peristomal skin complications. The assessment instrument was used by the WOC Nurses
to document the type of lesion, and location under the extended wear skin barrier. The type of skin barrier was also documented (flat,
cut to fit, convex, or moldable).
Results: It was noted that 38% post-operative patients presented with a lesion. The majority (76%) within the first 3 months as a
result of using flat cut to fit skin barriers. The WOC nurses decided to implement a change and discharge the patients who had flush,
retracted and low profile stomas with convex moldable wafers. 8 months after this change it was noted that only 8% presented with
these types of lesions so discharge with convexity is now standard practice.

Aim: Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare disease that causes painful sores on the skin. It occurs in people with impaired immune
systems, such as inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis. The first symptoms of pyoderma gangrenosum is a small
reddish nodule, which within a few days turns into a painful open ulcer.
Method: I would like to present a case study of a patient with ulcerative colitis. Pyoderma gangrenosum with this patient occurred in
parastomal area after continuing inflammatory activity within the residual rectal stump. The case study is accompanied by pictures
monitoring the treatment and showing results.
Conclusion: Treatment of such diseases is very lengthy and arduous and psychological support is particularly important when caring
for these patients. Only in this way it is possible to achieve good results, which will be reflected in the quality of life of the patient.

Ms. L Coulter
1.Cleveland Clinic

A prolapsed stoma occurs when the bowel protrudes through the stomal opening to an extent greater than anticipated. This can be
very distressing and shocking for the patient. Not usually serious, a prolapsed stoma can make pouching difficult; is susceptible to
trauma, distressing, and sometimes painful to the patient. Typical management involves support belts, which can take time to obtain,
or surgical repair, which is expensive and inherently risky. This innovative management method can be used to maintain a reduced
stoma, thus providing improved physical comfort and minimized distress. Most significantly it decreases the chance for stomal
WCET2016, Final list of poster abstracts 14

trauma. Additionally this method can be done using products readily available in hospital, outpatient, and home care settings. The
method involves fashioning a prolapse cap using a readily available convex pouch or wafer with belt loops and a belt. The cap is
padded, then fit snuggly, but not tightly over the stoma, to provide support while allowing effluent to flow unimpeded into the pouch.
Patients using this system have reported improved comfort and management. In cases when the prolapsed stoma is not easily
reduced or effluent is very thick/formed, the prolapse cap is not as successful.

In the literature,there are a large number of studies demonstrating that CI is effective in decreasing physiological, psychological and
social problems of an individual with stoma.The most important criticism on CI is that it is time-consuming.This led both WOC nurses
and medical industry to seek a solution for the problem. IryPump has been produced in accordance with the purpose of performing
more practical and efficient CI for patients.This presentation is about the results of a case of IryPump that we have tried on five
cases.NI is applying CI by using a classic irrigation set system with 1000ml of tap water every 24 hours. Before using IryPump,CI fluid
inflow time was 10-15 minutes,washout time was 30 minutes;therefore,total CI duration was 40-45 minutes. After using
IryPump,inflow time decreased to 2 minutes,washout time to 11 minutes and total irrigation duration to 16 minutes.In the interview it
was found out that the patient did not experience any discharge of stool, gas during the 24 hours.The patient indicated that he did not
feel distention and discomfort after using IryPump as he did after using irrigation set for CI.On the basis of these results,it is
recommended to make extensively sampled clinic studies about IryPump.

Mrs. M Parker ,D Smith
1. Salts Healthcare

Introduction: The role of the stoma care nurse (SCN) is fundamental in supporting and managing patients with challenging stomas.
As clinicians listening to patient's experiences and needs, we are in a strong position to effect the development of commercial
products that are essential to guarantee a good quality of life for ostomists. The SCN is only too aware of the vital requirements
needed in a product, therefore specialist input from the initial concept stage of development is essential.
Aim &Method: This presentation will focus upon how the role of the SCN working within a Research and Development team can
have significant impact on patient experience by advocating high quality products that are well designed and manufactured to meet
specific ostomy needs. Two case studies will demonstrate this by detailing the benefits of soft convexity in managing some of the
most challenging stomas.
Results: The development of a soft convex product has proved highly successful with valuable input from clinicians
Conclusion: Ongoing clinical involvement, at each design phase, contributes to meticulous product evolution to ensure the best
outcomes for an improved quality of life for the ostomist and subsequent cost effectiveneness for the National Health Service in the

Mrs. C Ryan ,L Hannan
1.Dansac Uk 2 - Dansac DK

The aim for this presetation is to review the contraindications for using firm convex products and demonstrate the use of soft convexity
for a variety of different stoma conditions and problems.
The use of convex products has enabled secure pouching for difficult stomas for many years. However it has had its limitations as
contraindications for use of a convex pouch have included damaged peristomal skin, prolapsed stoma, parastomal hernia and early
postoperative use.
The development of 'soft convex' pouches has allowed the clinical nurse specialist to use a secure, comfortable convex pouch on a
variety of problematic stomas which would not have been possible before.
The author will present a series of clinical case studies offering evidence to show how soft convex pouches can provide a secure fit on
the most difficult stomas whilst not compromising the stoma or peri stomal skin. Discussion will include issues such as using a soft
convex appliance in senarios where traditional convex products have been contraindicated.

Aim: Aim of this study is to determine nurses' knowledge and practices about pressure ulcers (PUs).
Method: The study was conducted with 347 nurses who attended four conventions and courses on wound care, between the years
2013 and 2015. The data were collected using a data collection form including 35 questions. The authors analyzed the data using
counts and percentage calculations, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test.
Result: The nurses' mean score on the questions about PUs was 57.37±14.26 over 100. The calculation of the correct answers by
the units in which they worked indicated that the highest mean score was (63.79±11.55) obtained by the stoma and wound care
nurses and the lowest mean score was (51.89±16.01) obtained by other nurses. There was no statistically significant difference
between the nurses' mean scores of correct answers by the nursing programs they had completed, the number of PU patients to
whom they provided care weekly, the clinics in which they worked, the PU training they had received and considerations of own
sufficiency in this field (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The study found that the nurses' mean scores of correct answers were not at the desired level.

Mrs. O Harel
1.Sheba Medical Center

Aim: Describe ostomy care and crisis management in a premature baby. A new premature baby is both an exciting and stressful with
implications on the entire family. This is augmented by the necessity to handle a stoma. We present the treatment program for this
condition
Method: Baby boy, first of twins, born on week 33, 1600 gr. was rushed on day 14 to surgery for perforation of the intestine with
inflammation. At the surgery, cecum and the ileocecal valve were resected and ileostomy formed. The baby was transferred to
neonatal ICU sedated and on a respirator. During the following month, parents had to learn to cope with the stressful, frustrating
situation, on top of all other responsibilities. Stoma nurse of the neonatal department tailored a program including stepwise training,
adapted to the condition of the baby. Special emphasis was given to the emotional condition of the parents.
Result: Hands-on experience of parents was gradually expanded, in parallel to emotional reinforcement. After 1 month, the baby
(2300 gr) was released, with temporary, 2-part neonatal stoma. Parents assumed full technical and emotional responsibility.
Conclusion: A structured roadmap for premature-baby stoma can provide good acceptance in handling this delicate task.

Innovative Use Of Flexible Soft Silicone Sealant In Conjunction With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (npwt) In The
Management Of Complex Wounds.
1
Mr. R Rock
1.Cleveland Clinic

Objective :Demonstrate the use of an innovative flexible soft silicone sealant in conjunction with foam based negative pressure
wound therapy.
Background :Complex wounds are a result of trauma, prolonged pressure, surgical debridement or post-surgical dehiscence. These
wounds often include organs, tissue or bone which are difficult to manage due to drainage, location or surgical hardware. The flexible
soft silicone sealant is an inert substance that allows for air tight seal in difficult to manage areas, yet not harmful to the tissue.
Method: The author identified innovative strategies using flexible soft silicone sealant in conjunction with optimally managed NPWT
in complex wounds. Case studies will include failed abdominal repair after forty five surgeries; left hip disarticulation; spatial frame
knee fusion with soft tissue defects.
Result: This novel combination of flexible soft silicone sealant and appropriately managed NPWT produced an airtight seal in the
wound bed, accelerating the healing process.
Conclusion :The utilization of a flexible soft silicone sealant used as an adjunct to NPWT, conventional dressing applications, and
appropriate medical management, can provide a mechanism to protect the periwound from potentially caustic drainage thereby
maintaining the integrity of the dressing, providing an air tight seal enhancing healing of complex wounds.

Introduction: Surgery for inflammatory bowel diseases can result in a creation of a stoma. This life-saving solution requires a
significant change in every aspect of patient's life,habits,intimate relations, employment, etc.Dealing with such a change demands
mental strength. Stoma patients tend to suffer from anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, in addition to many difficulties in daily
activities and morbidity.
Method: N.L ,79 years old widow+ 1 child' who underwent Ileostomy procedure due to Gastrointestinal Ischemia.Few months
postoperatively she developed erosions and Irritant Contact Dermatitis around the stoma due to acidic secretions' and was
hospitalized in one of the Internal Medicine departments for further care and treatment.
Goal: the aim was to find an easy and efficient way to treat the secretions around the stoma, with the use of Hydrocolloid dressing, in
order to treat and later prevent Irritant Contact Dermatitis.
Conclusion: Irritant Contact Dermatitis is a common complication in stoma patients,due to acidic secretions from the GI. This can
influence the patients life quality.Hydrocolloid dressing can promote wound healing by absorbing the acidic secretions around the
stoma, assist in autolytic debridement and reducing the pain.This is an easy, safe and efficient way to treat this complication.

Accessory For The Support Of A Pump Device Mechanical Movement

1 2
Mrs. T Campanili ,Prof. V Santos
1.InCor- HCFMUSP 2 - School of Nursing, University of São Paulo

Heart patients waiting for a transplant may need a mechanical device to replace the ventricular heart function, that is, an artificial
pump. It is common that these pump devices in question is projected outside the body, connected to the heart by tubes that pass
through the skin and therefore exposed to the action of gravity and possible shocks. The technology is designed to mitigate the
consequences of using an artificial ventricle, especially in relation to the discomfort and risks associated with heart pump, positioned
externally to the patient body. Solved these problems, the patient has greater mobility and freedom postoperatively and therefore can
more easily stick to your routine. The technology offers a safe and comfortable way to transport paracorporeal ventricle, keeping it
trapped in a pocket close to the body by strips of fabric that form a kind of belt. Thus, the risk of shock or damage possibly caused by
the weight of both the pump itself as the dressing is reduced. Finally, the pump is housed more appropriately under the clothes of
patients requiring mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to heart transplantation, a bridge to recovery or bridge to decision.

Objective: To evaluate the primary action of a non-woven compress, sterile, made inside of fibers with high capacity for exudate
absorption, with surfaces coated with a lipid-colloid technology (TLC) in combination with a system of compression bandages.
Method: This is a case report of a patient with heart failure who was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, a specialized hospital in
cardiopneumology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the treatment of ulcer in the right lower limb triggered by lotion use of fatty acids for
hydration. Dressings were performed weekly on injury and wound healing assessed through the evolution of tissue type, area and
exudate characteristics presented by Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH).
Conclusion: The wound evolved with the area, and local cleaning with the association compress nonwoven and compression
bandage, evidencing that the association contributes to the progress of healing. However exudation proved to be permanent is higher
when the compression was carried out without damage to the healing process.

1.12th October Hospital (Madrid/Spain) 2 - 12 October Hospital (Madrid/Spain)

Introduction: Sixty-two-year-old female. After several surgeries she has short bowel, malnutrition and dehiscent abdominal
laparotomy with high-output unwieldy enterocutaneous fistula.
Method: Owing to extent of wound, damage of the effluent to the perifistular skin and high output a large pouch that protects the skin
and allows quantification fistula output is used. Cleanliness is performed with wound irrigation solution, and to dry the skin is used
hydrocolloid powder and hydrofiber and high-flow oxygen on the skin. The pouch fits the size and shape of wound, sealing with
hydrocolloid paste and hydrocolloid superfine wafers. Removing sprays are used for removal of the pouch, minimizing pain due to the
withdrawal of powerful adhesives.
Result: By using a special pouch for fistula, management of high output improved considerably, reducing the frequency of cures and
health expending, thus increasing the comfort of the patient. Where it was possible, the main caregiver (her husband) was taught to
perform the cure. This allowed early discharge.
Conclusion: The existence of special pouches for wounds with difficult management (large size, high output ...) reduces costs both in
material and nursing time. In this case it allowed, with suitable monitoring, that cares were made by the main caregiver at home.

Mr. I Otradovcova
1.Central Military Hospital Prague Czech Rp

A defecation enema is a lukewarm water injection into the bowel via the stoma performed to facilitate regular defecation. It is a more
comfortable method of defecation management in colostomy patients. Irrigation improves their quality of personal, work, social and
intimate life. The method is suitable for patients of all ages. There are only a few workplaces in the Czech Republic which use this
method. Irrigation education is conditioned by the patient's interest and the presence of an experienced stoma nurse. A stoma nurse
first educates the patient theoretically and answers their questions, sending them home with an educational DVD and information
brochures. Next, the nurse obtains the irrigation set and sets an appointment with the patient for practical training on the entire
procedure.
A therapeutic enema is an enema or bowel lavage via the stoma. Drugs are injected into the upper or lower intestine via the stoma.
This procedure is most commonly performed in patients with IBD diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and certain
infectious bowel diseases (Clostridium colitis).

Ms. R Indra ,Dr. D Dahlia ,R Maria
1.Universitas Indonesia 2 - Universitas Indonesia

Diabetic ulcer is hard to heal because of prolonged inflammation process leads to chronic and infected wounds. The infection is
characterized by increasing exudate production and odor. Previous studies on wound care had proved that NaCl 3% solution able to
attract the wound exudate and reduces the odor because it is hypertonic.
Aim: This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of wound care using NaCl 3% solution to decrease amount of exudate and
odor of diabetic ulcer.
Method: The study applied randomized controlled trial with double blinded technique on 15 subjects blocked randomly allocated to
NaCl 0,9% group and NaCl 3% group. Interventions performed for 14 days
Result: The result showed there was no significant difference in the amount of exudate between the groups however there was
significant difference in the odor score after being analyzed by chi-square and Mann-Whitney test.
Conclusion: Wound care using NaCl 3% is no more effective to reduce the amount of exudate than NaCl 0,9% however NaCl 3% is
effective to reduce odor score of diabetic ulcer.

Deficient cutaneous wound healing, microvascular disease, and neuropathy are common complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM),
which together lead to the onset of difficult-to-heal chronic wounds, associated with the oxidative stress caused by chronic
hyperglycemia.
Aim: to evaluate the effects of topical administration of Colombian honeydew in cutaneous wound healing in diabetic mice, compared
with New Zealand Manuka honey, international standard.
Method: Was an experimental study using swiss type mice, induced to diabetes by administering alloxan IV. After 30 days of
diabetes, a dorsal wound was performed and the mice were treated topically with Honeydew and Manuka during 18 days. Were
assessed parameters as closure and histology of day 3. They were also characterized the physicochemical properties of honeys.
Result: Honeydew had less moisture, antioxidant capacity and higher pH than Manuka honey (14.2% vs 27,73%; 5.87 vs 15.90
mEqT; 5,25 vs 3,98 pH) respectively. The results showed a delay in wound healing in not treated diabetic animals (closing at 18 days
vs 14 days for control animals). Diabetic and control animals topically treated closed at 15 day, with increased lesion areas and
histological cell infiltrate in the inflammatory phase.
Conclusion: Honeydew and Manuka honey improve wound healing with similar performance.

A lack of resources in home nursing can become a huge obstacle in the successful treatment of a patient. This limited resources is not
only present in rural areas. Innovation and improvisation can result in simple yet excellent solutions
Presenting a cut-out cardboard box as a bed bow, that not only relieve the pressure from heavy bedding successfully but also act as
heat isolation. As a bonus the box is being recycled into a piece of equipment that is essential for pressure relief.
There is no cost involved and anybody can do it. The box should be clean and sturdy. It should be wide and deep enough to
accommodate a standard pillow and high enough to accommodate the patient's feet when placed on its side. A window is cut out at

1.Private practise

Hypothesis: To complete patient assessment and obtain a history, using the Wound Bed Paradigm of Prof Gary Sibbald, to identify
factors that can influence wound healing, is not always as simple and straightforward as it seems.
Case Study: Mr. Y is a 28 year old male patient who suffered a traumatic partial foot amputation. He is healthy with no apparent
comorbidities which may result in delayed wound healing. With a well prepped wound bed, he had a partial thickness skin graft with an
Integra interface. The graft healed well but he developed an ulcer on the anteromedial side of his residual limb. There was n o
explanation for the cause of the ulcer. The ulcer healed where after a new one developed on a different location. This pattern of
recurring ulcers continued. Maintaining the moisture balance was a challenge.
The patient was referred for X-rays when he reported severe pain over his medial malleoli once he started wearing his prosthetic foot.
The X-rays revealed multiple staples beneath the graft site. Because of wound and mobility complications he developed contractures.
Mr. Y underwent revision surgery resulting in a through ankle amputation. The majority of the staples were removed.

Wound management has become global health problem and the financial burden in addressing the problem has increased
tremendously.
In Community perspective due to lack of resources, ignorant and financial allocation, most of the treatment are using the traditional
method. Even sometimes using traditional method improved healing there are lack of research and understanding.
My case study indicates that the patient did not comply with the treatment and started using Talcum powder on his wound. The wound
became necrotic with uncontrolled pain with mildly serous discharge.
He revealed that he applied "potatoes flour" that they named as a powder dressing. The foot was very dirty. His neighbor advised him
to apply the powder which he believes can cure the wound.

treatment costs estimated throughout secondary databases. All data were validated by Expert Panel.
Result: The systematic review was graded as "B", according to the Oxford´s scale. Outcomes were clinical signs of infection and
bacteriological status from lesions. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) have evidenced cost-savings of approximately 40
thousand Brazilian Reais per patient, independent on the subgroup. Such results are driven from treatment costs lower in 35 to 40%
for the silver group, compared to the control, and better incremental effectiveness results (bacteriological status and infection signs
avoided of 22% and 30% respectively).
Conclusion: Patients treated with silver alginate develop lower trends on worsening wounds infectious status and then lower
treatment costs are achieved, offering a feasible alternative for infected or critically colonized hard-to-heal wounds treatment.
