This case review discusses the importance of providing a holistic approach to the care of a patient with two stomas and an enterocutaneous fistula. In this case, the stomas and fistula significantly affected the patient; not just physically but emotionally and socially. The different challenges that arose in pouching a high-output ileostomy, enterocutaneous fistula and ileal conduit with Foley catheter in situ are explored. It also delves into the various options for discharging a patient with complex ostomy complications requiring different needs and resources. Finally, it aims to highlight the therapeutic comprehensive care the stomal therapy nurse provided to the patient and their family.

Tract Infections

Background: CAUTIs remain one of the most common hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) accounting for prolonged hospital stay and increased healthcare costs. According to the NHSN, the standardized infection ratio (SIR) at our institution was 1.6 compared to national average of 0.84 in 2018. We highlight the interventions implemented in our institution to prevent CAUTIs. These interventions have shown a reduction in the rate of CAUTIs, the SIR, Foley catheter days, and institutional cost. Methods: In addition to standard CAUTI prevention practices, we hypothesized that we could decrease CAUTIs through the daily implementation of specific practices. We developed a comprehensive interdisciplinary team which included the staff or charge registered nurse (RN), the unit manager, an infection preventionist, an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), a pharmacist with an antimicrobial focus, and a physician from the infectious disease department who would conduct daily rounds on different units in the institution for education and assessment of catheter indications. A detailed review and analysis of the urine culture orders for patients with a Foley catheter was performed. A nurse-driven Foley catheter removal protocol before urine culture collection was initiated. We implemented a Foley catheter bundle that has guidelines for Foley insertion, best practice competency, and urinary catheter best practice algorithm and advocated alternative use of male or female external catheter. We educated physicians about ordering a reflexive urine analysis test followed by urine culture instead of testing either individually after removal of a Foley catheter. Lastly, we performed a root-cause analysis on all reported CAUTIs. These policies were implemented in a 435-bed tertiary-care center in November 2018, and we present data from 1-year before and after the interventions. Results: At our institution, we had 71 CAUTIs, with an SIR of 1.6, a standardized utilization ratio (SUR) of 0.92, 27,621 Foley days, and institutional cost of $979,303 compared to 40 CAUTIs with an SIR of 1, an SUR of 0.88, 24,193 Foley days, and institutional cost $537,927 after implementing our interventions. Conclusions: CAUTIs can be reduced by implementing specific measures that include infection control team rounds, nurse-driven protocol, and the use of Foley catheter bundles. Measures should be undertaken to prioritize these practices as part of a protocol. We advocate further studies to evaluate these measures. Education programs for healthcare professionals concerning CAUTIs and its complications can be implemented to carry out the prevention methods efficiently.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None
