Atrial Flutter With Intraventricular Conduction Delay, Hypotension, and Bradycardia in the Setting of High-Output Ileostomy With Renal Failure, Hyperkalemia, and Metabolic Acidosis: A Case Report With Brief Literature Review.

Abstract

After ostomy creation, some patients tend to develop high outputs from their ostomy site, which puts them at risk for volume depletion, renal failure, and electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities. This case emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary team-based approach for the care of patients after ostomy creation, especially those with persistent high output and significant cardiac comorbidities, including cardiac arrhythmias. Patient education and subsequent follow-ups and assessments are important to prevent life-threatening complications in these patients.
