A high output stoma refers to a condition where the output of your patient is enough to cause dehydration. In general, this occurs with an output greater than 1.5-2 liters per day. Up to 16% of patients experience high output in the first three weeks after surgery, requiring 8 to 25 bag changes every 24 hours. However, high output can also occur much later and even in patients that are not used to have high output.These challenges affect not only the patient’s well-being but also your daily routines as a healthcare professional.
At B. Braun, we understand the demands of high output stoma care. That’s why we offer reliable products tailored to the needs of nurses and product users as well as personalized support for your patients. Our goal is help you take care of your patients in the best possible way.
Patients with high output require a comprehensive and individualized approach to care[1]. Their elevated output levels demand not only intensified daily management and the use of customized products, but also monitoring and output assessment can be required[1]. The provision of personalized support can foster patient empowerment and help to navigate their condition with confidence[2].
High output patients usually require more frequent appliance changes than stoma patients with low output. This has direct implications on the need for protection of the peristomal skin. In patients with more aggressive nature of the stoma effluent in combination with elevated output levels, leakage prevention becomes paramount.
