- Abstract
Postoperative enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) presents a complex challenge in surgical care, with multifactorial causes and significant implications for patient outcomes and quality of life. This narrative review explores the essential role of nurses in the comprehensive management of EAF, encompassing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. It emphasizes the importance of wound care management, nutritional support, psychosocial assistance, patient education, collaboration, continuous professional development, and research engagement in optimizing patient outcomes. By addressing these facets, healthcare providers can enhance their understanding and management of EAF, ultimately improving patient care in this intricate surgical complication.
