Manejo del paciente con fístula enteroatmosférica: plan de cuidados individualizado / Management of patients with enteroatmospheric fistula: an individualized plan of care

La fístula enteroatmosférica (FEA) es una comunicación no natu-ral entre el tracto gastrointestinal y la piel o la atmósfera. Sepresenta el caso clínico de un varón de 58 años con FEA y shockséptico secundario a peritonitis, con antecedentes de múltiplesintervenciones quirúrgicas por eventración abdominal recidivada,perforación intestinal y hernia epigástrica. A su llegada a laUnidad de referencia de abdomen catastrófico de Andalucía(España) se realizó valoración según patrones funcionales deMarjory Gordon y se advirtió: fallo intestinal tipo 2, sarcopenia,abdomen abierto con pérdida total de la pared abdominal, faltade conocimiento acerca de su problema de salud y dependenciasevera. Se diseñó un plan de cuidados según la taxonomía NAN-DA-NOC-NIC para los diagnósticos de “Deterioro de la integridadcutánea”, “Conocimientos deficientes” y “Déficit de autocuidadoen el baño/vestido/inodoro”. Se establecieron objetivos NOCenfocados a la “Integridad tisular”, “Cuidados de la ostomía” y“Autocuidado en baño/higiene/vestido/inodoro”. Se efectuó curade la herida con terapia de presión negativa con estoma flotantecon una prótesis personalizada de biomaterial impreso en 3D,Astarté. Al alta hospitalaria (trascurridos siete meses) todos losindicadores aumentaron notablemente su puntuación basal en3-4 puntos, concluyendo la gran efectividad de un plan de cuida-dos holístico realizado por un equipo interdisciplinar, junto a téc-nicas innovadoras y eficaces de cuidado de las FEA.(AU)

Enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) is a non-natural communicationbetween the gastrointestinal tract and the skin or atmosphere.We present the clinical case of a 58-year-old male with EAF andseptic shock secondary to peritonitis, with a past history ofmultiple surgical interventions due to relapsed abdominaleventration, bowel perforation, and epigastric hernia. At his arrivalat the Catastrophic Abdomen Unit of Reference for Andalusia(Spain), there was assessment according to Marjory Gordon’sFunctional Health Patterns, and the following were noticed: Type2 bowel failure, sarcopenia, open abdomen with complete loss ofthe abdominal wall, lack of knowledge about his health problem,and severe dependence. A plan of care was designed accordingto the NANDA-NOC-NIC taxonomy for the diagnoses: “Impairedskin integrity”, “Deficient knowledge”, and “Self-care deficit forbathing/dressing/toileting”. NOC objectives were determinedfocused on: “Tissue integrity”, “Ostomy care”, and “Self-care inbathing/hygiene/dressing/toileting”. The wound was curedthrough negative pressure therapy with floating stoma with apersonalized 3D-printed biomaterial prosthesis (Astarté). Athospital discharge (after seven months), all indicators hadsignificantly increased their basal score by 3-4 points; theconclusion was that a holistic plan of care conducted by aninterdisciplinary team and implemented alongside innovative andeffective techniques for EAF care was highly effective.(AU)

Evaluation of Clinical Results regarding Peristomal Skin Health Associated with the Adjustment and Formulation of the New Moderma Flex One-Piece Ostomy Devices.

In order to determine the perception of ostomized patients about the performance and safety of the new one-piece device Moderma Flex, as well as the evolution of peristomal skin health after its use. The pre- and post-experimental multicenter study after the use of the Moderma Flex one-piece ostomy device on 306 ostomized people from 68 hospitals in Spain. We used a self-made questionnaire on the usefulness of different parts of the device and the perception of peristomal skin improvement. The sample was composed of 54.6% (167) men and had an average age of 64.5 years (standard deviation = 15.43). The type of device most commonly used according to its opening was closed by 45.1% (138). In addition, for the type of barrier, the most frequently used is the flat one; 47.7% (146) and 38.9% (119) used a model of soft convexity. A total of 48% scored with the highest assessment in the perception of skin improvement. The percentage of patients with peristomal skin problems decreased from 35.9% at the first visit to less than 8% after the use of Moderma Flex. Further, 92.4% (257) had no skin problems, the most frequent being erythema. The use of the Moderma Flex device seems to be related to a reduction in peristomal skin complications and a perception of improvement.
