Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) frequently lose control over their fecal continence leading to fecal incontinence (FI). We provide an overview of existing medical devices, which are supposed to alleviate FI-related problems.
UNASSIGNED: Fecal management systems (FMS) prevent infections and complications. They reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and fecal incontinence. The systems enhance patient comfort and mitigate emotional distress during illness. Furthermore, FMS facilitate nursing care by reducing the incontinence-related workload. Finally, these systems can help minimize treatment costs by preventing complications, and reduction of extended hospital stays and additional treatments. Several well accepted systems made of silicone are on the market. A polyurethane-based soft balloon FMS (hygh-tec® basic-plus) has also been introduced, offering more comfort to the patient, safer handling for the healthcare professionals, and provides reliable leakproof access to the patient\'s colon. In addition to contamination-free fecal diversion, the trans-anal sealing mechanism of the device also allows for irrigation and delivery of medication into the colon.
UNASSIGNED: FMS in ICUs are integral to patient care and dignity. Recognizing and prioritizing the importance of these systems is essential for providing the highest standard of care to critically ill patients in the ICU.
摘要:
重症监护病房(ICU)的患者经常失去对大便失禁的控制,导致大便失禁(FI)。我们提供现有医疗设备的概述,这应该可以缓解与FI相关的问题。
粪便管理系统(FMS)可预防感染和并发症。它们降低了压力性溃疡和大便失禁的风险。该系统增强了患者的舒适度并减轻了患病期间的情绪困扰。此外,FMS通过减少与失禁相关的工作量来促进护理。最后,这些系统可以通过预防并发症来帮助最小化治疗成本,并减少延长住院时间和额外的治疗。市场上有几种公认的由有机硅制成的系统。还推出了基于聚氨酯的软气球FMS(hygh-tec®basic-plus),给病人提供更多的安慰,为医疗保健专业人员提供更安全的处理,并为患者的结肠提供可靠的防漏通道。除了无污染的粪便分流,所述装置的经肛门密封机构还允许冲洗和将药物递送到结肠中。
ICU中的FMS是患者护理和尊严不可或缺的部分。认识到并优先考虑这些系统的重要性对于为ICU中的危重病人提供最高标准的护理至关重要。
