ABSTRACT

Fecal incontinence is a very common problem in critically ill and elderly patients and long-term hospitalized bedridden patients, which can easily cause complications such as perianal dermatitis, pressure ulcers and infections, increase patient suffering, and increase medical expenses. Devices that effectively transfer or drain feces are critical to reducing complications after fecal incontinence. This article uses this as a starting point to summarize the main components, current status of use and evaluation indicators of built-in drainage devices at home and abroad, which provides a reference for the development of more scientific and feasible auxiliary tools for fecal incontinence.
