Colostomy irrigation is a crucial procedure for passing stool into the colon. At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, we emphasize maintaining healthy skin around the stoma as a reflection of healthy living. This requires dedicated and comprehensive nursing care, ensuring the best possible care for our residents.

Skin Care Regime

Ideally, the skin around the stoma should match the rest of the abdomen in appearance. However, effluent from the ostomy site can sometimes cause the skin to become slightly tender or mildly sore. To prevent this, our nursing staff at Priyajeewaka Nursing Home takes the following precautions:

• Right-Sizing Pouches and Skin Barriers: We use the appropriately sized pouches and skin barriers for each individual's stoma, minimizing leakage and irritation.

• Regular Pouch Changing: Regular changes of the pouch help avoid discomfort and maintain good skin condition.

Hydration and Monitoring

Our staff ensures proper hydration and monitors the skin closely. They lift the skin before fitting a new skin barrier or pouch to ensure optimal adherence and comfort. Any signs of itching, burning, or irritation are promptly addressed, leading to timely pouch changes.

Pouch Change Routine

It is generally recommended to perform a colostomy pouch change every 3–5 days. At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, our staff diligently apply dates to all pouch taping and maintain consistency. This is recorded in each resident's calendar, reducing complications from untimely pouch changes.

Patient-Centered Care

Our priority in colostomy care is patient comfort and satisfaction. Our attentive nursing staff respond promptly to individual needs and concerns, ensuring effective management of any issues. We encourage open communication, allowing residents to inform us of any discomfort or skin irritation so that we can provide immediate and appropriate care.

Comprehensive and Compassionate Care

At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, we believe in holistic and compassionate care for colostomy. We focus on maintaining skin health, performing regular pouch changes, and engaging in open discussions with our clients to provide the best comfort in any situation.
