My Scope of Practice

Can You Help?

Can You Help will post patient and clinician questions regarding wound, ostomy, and continence care for comments and advice. Please send your queries to the Editor: bzeiger@hmpcommunications.com.

I have a patient who had a failed mesh placement and a panniculectomy and who has developed at least three separate fistulas with a very large amount of output (3-4 L/24 hrs). Any suggestions? I am using an Eakin wound management pouch hooked up to wall suction.
