"Enterostomy" is one of the common surgical procedures that surgically draws one end of the intestinal tube out of the body surface and opens it to the abdominal wall to excrete feces or urine due to the needs of the disease. The goal of post-ostomy management is to expand the length and breadth of the life of "ostomy people" and comprehensively improve the quality of life of "ostomy people".
Although ostomy saves the patient's life, stoma patients not only face concerns about the disease, but also the change of bowel movements and the complications of the stoma, which reduces the quality of life of patients. Caring for "stoma people" and allowing stoma patients to enjoy a better life like ordinary people is the goal that the gastrointestinal tumor surgery team has been practicing.
The Spring Festival is a festival of family reunion and family joy, but the medical staff still stick to their posts, only to protect the health of patients. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the perimeter of the ostomy wound outpatient clinic of the tumor center is full of patients waiting for treatment. In one morning, Nurse Li Fen and stoma specialist nurses treated more than ten patients with stoma and wound problems such as postoperative ostomy wound infection, stoma irritating dermatitis, and postoperative wound stitch removal.
"Daddy, come, I'll show you the stoma." She performs ostomy care for patients, bends down to unload bags, wash, sprinkle stoma powder, apply skin protective film, squeeze leak-proof paste, paste stoma pockets... It takes at least 15 minutes to complete a complete set of treatments, and even up to 1 hour to encounter complex stoma treatments. Often an outpatient treatment down, low back pain. "Chew carefully and swallow slowly when eating, make food soft and rotten, and diet should not have too many taboos!" "Meat, eggs and milk can supplement high-quality protein, which will help your wounds heal, you must eat it, don't be afraid." While caring for patients, she also gives patients health education and psychological counseling. "I like to come to the clinic to deal with the stoma, and you have not only cured my stoma problem, but also my heart disease." The 70-year-old woman said happily.
"Thank you for receiving us during the Spring Festival and solving our worries," said Daddy Wu, who had just received ostomy care.
The Gastrointestinal Oncology Surgery Stoma Clinic, which opened in 2017, has provided care for thousands of stoma and wound patients. "Professional, skilled, enthusiastic and reliable" is what patients say about them. Ostomy care is actually a "smelly" job, but in their eyes only stoma excretion is normal or abnormal, through what methods to solve the patient's problems and pain, completely leave their own feelings behind. They always remember and perform the duties of "angels in white", and also show the spiritual outlook of "benevolence, love, sincerity and sincerity" of the Concordia people.
