Introduction
• It is a surgically created opening, which connects part of a person’s bowel to the outside of their body...

Intestinal fluid flux
• 1.5 L saliva• 2.5 L gastric secretion• 1 L Bile + pancreatic secretions • 3L succus entericus
• Most reabsorbed in Small intestine• 1.5 to 2 L enters colon and it absorbs most of it
and only 200 -400 ml is excreted in stools
![Page 4: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Normal ileostomy output is 1500-1800ml / 24 hours untill adaptation
• After adaptation it is 500- 800 ml/ 24 hours
• If it persists to > 1500 ml/24 hours it is termed as high output stoma

Who is at Risk
• Crohn’s disease patients
• Colectomy
• Vascular accidents

Causes of high output stoma
• Gastric acid Hyper secretion
• Baterial over growth
• Pre stomal ileitis
• Revealed latent disease ( celiac disease, hypolactasia, pancreatic disease, pancreatic insufficiency, thyrotoxicosis)

Assessment of High output stoma
• Review history.– No. Of bags emptying /night, associated pain etc– Types of fluid , quantity of fluids and food.
• Current medication– Doses of omeprazole– Loperamide– Lactose containing medication
![Page 10: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Management
• Step 1• Dietry adjustments
• Isotonic fluids
• Omeprazole
• Megadose loperamide
• Antibiotics for bacterial overgrowth
![Page 11: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 2
• If output is still >1500ml/ day then
• NPO for 48 hours and IV fluids to assess baselien output
• Review all investigations and management
• Measure daily electrolytes ( including Mg)
• If baseline output is >1200ml/ day then consider long term IV fluids
![Page 12: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 3
• Is baseline output is < 1200ml/day then• Commence oral rehydration salt trial for 48
hours
![Page 13: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 4• If output is <1500ml
after isotonics then go to step 6
• If output is > 1500ml after isotonics then start sequentionally– Omeprazole 80mg/day– + loperamide 8mg 4x5/day can
be upto 100mg/day– + codene 60 mg 4xday– +octreotide 3xday– Stop octreotide after 72 hours
if impact is <300 ml/day
Output <1500ml .go to step 5 Output > 1500ml . Plan TPN/ fluids

Step 5
• Commence liquid feed and nutritional suppliments
• Measure effect on output– if < 1500ml go to step 6– If > 1500ml then plan for TPN
![Page 15: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 6
• Start solid food and measure effect on output
• If > 1500ml then start IV fluids suppliments
![Page 16: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How to prevent high output stoma
• Low fibre diet– Reduce the amount of bulk moving through bowel,
helping to rest it
• Add extra salt to meals and increase intake of salty foods
• Not to drink just before, with or 30-60 minutes after meals
![Page 17: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Restrict fluid intake to no more than 1500ml per day– The more you drink, the more will come out of
stoma.
• Smaller more frequent meals may be better tolerated, particularly in the first few weeks.
• Take your time and chew food thoroughly.

• Avoid heavy meals or snacks before bedtime.
• Medications– Loperamide– Codeine Phosphate

– Proteins: • Meat, Fish, Cheese, Peanut butter, Eggs
• Add extra salt to meals
• Reduce Lactose in diet
• Milk, Ice cream
• Reason
• Slow the movement of food giving more time to digest
• Helps to absorb fluids better
• Decrease bloating and diarrhea

• Choose restricted lactose milk
• Avoid drinks high in sugar• juice, regular pop and fruit drinks
![Page 24: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Discharge instructions• Avoid sweeteners such as sorbitol and mannitol
• Sugar Free Items
• Sip on oral rehydration fluids throughout the day
• Separate Fluids & Solids
• Wait 30 minutes before & after a meal before drinking fluids
• Limit fluid at meals to less than 125 ml (½ cup)
![Page 25: Management of high output stomas](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/58e577a81a28abbf5d8b4bf7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Discharge instructions
• Measure ileostomy output for 2 days. If over 1200 ml per day, start taking loperamide before meals and at bedtime
• Eat 6-8 small meals per day rather than 3 larger ones
• Limiting fluid intake to 4 ounces with meals

High Output Pouches
• Decrease frequency of emptying
• At night these can be attached to bedside drainage bag to decrease sleeplessness for patient and caregiver
• Works well for liquid output but needs to be replaced with a standard pouch when output thickens
