Clinical Simulation
Colostomy Care
About This Course
What you'll experience
After a colostomy surgery the care procedure is entrusted to nurses. Taking proper care of a colostomy patient includes tasks like emptying and changing the colostomy bag, cleaning the stoma, and applying adhesive wafer. All this has to be performed keeping in mind the comfort and safety of the patient. In this multiplayer VR simulation, learners can join virtually to collaborate with each other via voice chat. They can learn the procedure in virtual photorealistic environments and gain first-hand experience of each step of the process.
Learning Objectives
- Explain colostomy removal and application procedures to a virtual patient
- Demonstrate removing colostomy appliance
- Demonstrate assessing colostomy site
- Demonstrate measuring colostomy site
- Demonstrate applying colostomy appliance
- Educate patient on colostomy removal and application procedures

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Procedure Preparation
Thorough preparation ensures a smooth procedure. The same goes for this module on Procedure Preparation for changing a colostomy bag.
As part of this module, the user will learn the methods of informing the patient and gathering material to go ahead with the change of the colostomy pouch.
Fluid conversations with the virtual patient, multiplayer features with voice-chat and physics-based interactions add realism to the module.
