Reply to "Stoma/intestine swelling?"

Eric,
Please PM me with your Phone number and I will call and explain how to secure the tube into your pouch so that it doesn't fall out...If you are right and there is some sort of swelling going on in there and it is possible, then you must keep that tube in for a while. You could end up not being able to intubate at all and have to go back to intervention radiology.
Also, you may want to try to lay flat on your back with your legs in the air for 5 minutes before trying to intubate, something may be slipped in there and need to slip back into place before you intubate...(am still thinking a tiny peri-stomal hernia that could be allowing your pouch or valve to twist into it when standing...need to let it slip back into place before the tube will go in strait).
While before you call me, go to a pharmacy and get yourself some colloidal patches (they look like thick sheets of creamy plastic about 3x3 or 4x4)...And I will explain it all...
hugs
Sharon
