title: Application of the perineal ostomy in severe organophosphate poisoned patients after catharsis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the efficacy of the one-piece ostomy bags for severe organophosphate poisoned patients after catharsis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty cases of severe organophosphate poisoned patients who were given rhubarb catharsis after thorough nasal lavage were divided into two groups. The observation group used the one-piece ostomy bags whilst the control group used the disposable changing mats. The perineal skin changes, average daily hours of care, and cost of care rates were compared between the two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rates of perineal skin changes were lower in the observation group than the control group (p < 0.05). The average daily hours of nursing and the cost of care were lower in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The application of one-piece perineal paste ostomy bag in poisoned patients after the catharsis can prevent the risk of nursing by protecting and promoting the care quality, reducing the nursing workload and improving their work efficiency. It can enhance the nurses' self-esteem, reduce patients' expenses and provide an objective basis for assessing the treatments.
