Managing the high output stoma is a challenge for the patient, the family and the nurse. If the stoma is poorly managed it can lead to local and systemic complications. This session will review the causes and consequences of a high output stoma, then discuss a six step method for a WOC nurse, physician colleague and patient to implement with the goal of achieving stomal output of 1200 mL daily.
