- Abstract
Introduction. One of the main interventions carried out by nursing professionals is the care of wounds. Its purpose is to avoid possible complications and stimulate the scarring of the wounded tissue. The objective of this investigation was to determine the nursing interventions carried out in patients with open abdomens and enterocutaneous fistulas via a literature review. Methodology. A narrative review was carried out over 10 months. The databases used were: PubMed, ScienceDirect, ClinicalKey, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Ovid. Fifty articles that met the objective of the review were used. Results. Nursing care related to basic and specific care in patients with open abdomens and enterocutaneous fistulas was found. Discussion. Different authors agree on the use of the Bogotá Bag, is one of the most used nursing interventions for open abdominal wounds, intraabdominal measurement, which allows for early identification of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, and maintenance of nutritional objectives in patients with enterocutaneous fistulas allow for successful recovery. Conclusions. We could determine that there are different types of nursing care that must be considered in the handling of open abdomen and enterocutaneous fistulas. All these types of care allow for nursing staff to have a useful scientific support when providing care to patients with these health conditions. This is in order to avoid or reduce the risks of dehydration, hydroelectrolytic imbalance, malnutrition, sepsis, and even death.
