  • I would like to thank you for the nursing services arranged during the last 10 days. Appreciate your help. I would like to mention Antony (Nursing co-coordinator) for the excellent support and help.

  • Hope you’re well and following al necessary precautions in these uncertain times. Stay safe!

    I wanted to send this note earlier but with the current situation and lockdown I’ve not been able to do so. My apologies for that.

    After 3 to 4 months of critical care, my father in law passed away earlier this month. We as a family are extremely thankful to the nursing staff who were with him throughout and did everything possible to make him feel comfortable and cared for.

    We did hit a rough patch at the start but your intervention helped a lot and we’ve not had to worry about quality thereafter.

    While there were quite a few staff members who were involved (Laxman, Monto, Ebby) and very good at their work, in particular we have a deep sense of gratitude for Mr. Jabin who has consistently been with him from day one. Mr. Jabin was assigned to take care of my father in law while he was still in hospital and he took all efforts to match the quality of care just as they were doing in the hospital. Till the last moment, he was there with our family and has gone above and beyond his duties. It was extremely touching to see how he developed a bond with his patient and would care for him as one of his own. The more I say is less when it comes to Jabin and the way he has taken care of him is exemplary.

    We are very thankful to the entire Portia team. Your services are a blessing for families that are need of critical care in a home setup.

    We wish you luck

  • I would like to appreciate the support provided by the Portea Luckow team during this crisis time.
    I have been taking services from your organization for almost over a year now, have faced few minor issues earlier but the kind of support the team provided in this testing time when the whole medical support is closed is exceptional and laudable.
    My father was admitted in hospital on 20th March and was in ICU and was forcibly discharged on 25th March while being monitored in ICU. I was not getting any support from any of the hospital then I called Rakshit for help. He immediately arranged for a 24 hrs nurse assistant at home. He gave me confidence to overcome the change of managing my father at home. He has been in constant touch with me providing help, guidance and facilitating medical supplies at home. Looking at the criticality of the patient he made a home visit and took cognizance of things , guided the NA asked him to take proper care and even help my mother in home care also.

    The efforts your Lucknow team put in to support the patient at home is highly commendable.
    Thank you so much for helping me out during these very difficult times. Your help has been invaluable to me, and I don’t know how I would have managed without your help and support. Again, thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate your generosity.

  • write this note as I still grieve the loss of my dear mama. I would like to thank you who personally ensured she had the care required in the last 2 months of her life.
    Pushpa, is a well-skilled attendant, the staff that substituted for her too had a great kind attitude to my mother, and this I appreciated very much. The physiotherapists had rehabilitated her well, given her condition as well.
    You run a good service for the sick and/or dying and God Bless you and Portea for the help and unwavering support provided to me and my mother.
    I would recommend your services without hesitation.

    Many thanks and best regards,

What Is a Stoma?

A stoma is an artificial opening on your abdomen that can be connected to your urinary system or digestive tract to divert and expel waste from your body. It is created at the end of the intestine that is brought to the surface of your abdomen to form this opening. It may be permanent or temporary depending on the cause. The surgical procedure that enables this process is known as Ostomy.

When Is Stoma Required?

There are several reasons why a person may need a stoma. These include:

Inflammatory bowel disease: Inflammatory bowel disease refers to a group of disorders causing inflammation in the digestive tract.

Bowel cancer: Bowel cancer is a malignant growth occurring in the colon or rectum.

Bladder cancer: Bladder cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth in the bladder lining.

Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis is inflammation or infection of small pouches that form in the lining of the digestive system.

Any other obstructions to the bowel or bladder: Obstructions to the bowel or bladder can occur due to various factors such as tumors, strictures, or blockages.

Crohn’s disease: Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract.

Colonic polyps: Colonic polyps are abnormal tissue growths in the colon, which can potentially develop into cancer if left untreated.

Stoma Rehabilitation and Stoma Care-The Role of a Stoma Nurse

Having a stoma is a major event and can not only lead to physical discomfort but also has psychological implications. These include anxiety about the functioning of the stoma, impact on the body image, and interpersonal relationships. 

In such cases, the role of nurse in ostomy care is vital in managing and rehabilitating stoma patients. Some important roles that stoma care nursing plays include:

  • A stoma nurse is a specialized professional and almost every hospital has a stoma nursing care unit that supports the patient before and after the surgery.
  • She does the pre-operative assessment and provides care during the hospital stay.
  • She helps in an easy transition into community life after the patient is discharged.
  • The nurse will help the patient accept the stoma as an extension of her/his body and guides the patient on stoma management on a daily basis. It includes training the person to use it themselves and maintaining hygiene. 
  • She is responsible for bringing back the patient to normality by providing education and information and her/his family members.
  • The stoma care nurse will advise the patient about how to manage daily activities and everyday living. 
  • She plays an active role in counseling the patient helping her/him reduce the stress and maintaining a positive outlook. All of this has a great impact on faster healing and recovery.
