As an ostomate myself I can tell you, you are NOT supposed to just remove the wafer from your body, or someone else's. You should use something like adhesive remover or warm water to soak the wafer and loosen it first. Just yoinking it off will make your skin raw and tender, can even make it sore and bleeding. You can even tear the skin if you have thin tissue paper skin, like many do the older you get the skin gets thinner and easier to tear. Secondly, you should never wash around your stoma with warm soapy water. It should be plain warm water only. Soaps can be drying which will make your skin more irritated in the long run, like chapped lips. Also many soaps have oils, lotions etc in it, which should not be on your skin at all- because the oils, lotions, creams etc will make it harder for your wafer to stick to the skin. I stopped watching this video after those two things in the beginning. Bad teaching people this way, that will cause their skin to break down worse, and have many issues with the skin around stoma. Hope you update your teaching video with the way they are instructing ostomates currently in today's time.
the procedure isn't hygienist, even those this only demonstrate she should prepare a rubbish bag / trash to throw the used stoma bag , also she's need really clean it with carefully without a soap, poor demonstration. just give 1 start.
I hold my scissors next to the stoma to help me approximate the size I need to cut. Bedbound patients typically have the bag to the side. Ambulatory patients usually prefer the bag pointed towards their feet.
Thanks. My father's bag has been on for 2 weeks and they haven't sent out a nurse yet to change his. I'm getting pretty POed, about to do it myself. Again, thank you, video has been extremely helpful.
First let the viewers know that there are many many manufacturers all with different types and styles. And no matter which one you choose it will never be this quick and easy to change. HAPPY MUCKING !!!
I don’t have a colostomy; but as a pediatric home health nurse I’ve changed them. And, like you said it’s not always that neat. I often had the bag not lock into place and wouldn’t notice it until it stained their clothes. Or the seal wouldn’t stick properly to the skin… My hat tips to those with ostomines.
@boci -- Your tip of the hat is greatly appreciated! "Clara the Colostomy" has been my sidekick for nine (very long) years. Lost count of how many times I found Clara in a "Code Brown" situation.
Heck, most people don't know anything about this subject. I have a stoma and you learn what works for you. Fear of damaging my stoma was predominant initially. Not every nurse I had was trained for a colostomy bag change, and some had a time just emptying it for me. Luckily, I've become ambulatory, and can do for myself.
I am 73yrs i had my stoma done 10mts and after the only visit with eyes is when the doctor take out the drainage nothing before or after i done everything myself i still visit the clinic but onlt ask how you doing and me reply good somethimes i wonder if i am ok however sometimes i wonder if i am good when i change my bag i go to the shower and i soap up the whole of it but very gently i have no problem so far thank god
My sister just got her colonoscopy bag and say not to use soap just warm water . My sister was in tears first time changing it ! 🙏 To anyone going threw this
Hello every one. I have had a colostomy for 8 months now and I have to say I hate it. But I have a question does any body else have GP who is slow in signing off on prescriptions for pouches and stuff, to the point that it's going to be touch and go if I run out before my next delivery. Living with a stoma is bad enough, but this shit ( pun intended ) makes it worse :-(
In a pinch you can buy them directly from some suppliers, and on amazon and ebay! I've experimented with a few different brands. I've been pancaking forever and my stoma retracts when I lay down to sleep. Consequently, bag /wafer changes are frequent. I've never run out of my prescribed allotment, but it's nice to have insurance, or I should say, back up availability.
I also finds many things she do wrong. First of all is how often the bag are suposed to be changed. For me it could be up to 3 times per day, but it never sit more then 48 hours. That is very individually. I never use a towel and i will never use a towel. I use compresses instead cause thats more practical. Then i rarely use any alcohol cause it can damage the skin. I use adhesive remover that dont have any alcohol at all. I have an permanent ileostomy since october 2005. So i have been around a while. 99.9% of all nurses i meet dont really know what they are doing. I only trust a handful of nurses. And all of them are at a specialist ward. 95% of all patients have or will get a stoma. I am also a nurse. The patients dont know that i have a stoma. Many dont trust me and i dont blame them. But sometimes i am forced to change some stomabags. I think they should remove the video cause we all are diffrent. There are no "standard" ways how to change it either. We all have our routines.

You're so right. This video rates a one star with me.

Great video, but don’t we all wish that changing a colostomy apparatus was that clean and easy😂
😥😆 lol

Great vidoe, i have learnt something and i can able to change now
This video help me .Thanks
How do u measure size of ostomy?
Thank you for sharing. It's good to refresh. I haven't done one for a while.
After you clean the stoma, make sure to doff your dirty gloves, perform hand hygiene, and don a new pair of gloves!
Thank you guys, you’re awesome

هاد نفسه العناية او الغيار ع الجرح ؟!
The fact that this is the best patent so far is insane. Doesnt look digniful
Do we need to do measurement of the output
Help me. I have to do this myself and I still have no clue
No warm soapy water Maam, it's only warm water, if you put soap it's gonna be dry, your stoma should stay moist.

I wish it should have been demonstrated on a real patient
Can one exercise with a stoma bag
Yes
Work at a nursing home and my resident tells me she puts water on her belly before she applied the adhesive and I’m like :0
? Has anyone tried using poo be home, or some spray for poop with the odor
I think the main thing to take away is there is no one single way to change an ileostomy or colostomy, instead there are many right ways to do it

Please talk slowly , because I am Arabic student.
You can slow the speed of the video. Which will make her speak more slowly. Click on settings Upper right corner of video. Then click playback speed.

You must be joking
The dummy looks like he's in pain
Its poop or chocolate it looks like chocolate
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🇧🇷
No such a good video..break asecptic technique...
You don't need to worry about aseptic technique, it's not a sterile procedure.
You need clean not aseptic technique. The ostomy is literally squirting waste, area will never be sterile.
Feel free to use a real patient
