Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a breathing problem that sometimes affects babies born six weeks or more before their due dates. Their lungs aren't developed enough to make surfactant, a liquid that coats the inside of the lungs and keeps them open so that the baby can breathe in air once he or she is born.
ostomy sites, for what they are intended for, cannot heal (or close), therefore, cannot arbitrarily be considered surgical wounds. on the other hand, when the ostomy is discontinued, and the site is allowed to heal or close, then the site can now be identified as a surgical wound.
With an ostomy there is loss of sphincter or control over urination or excretion, so ostomy patients must wear an ostomy bag to collect body waste. The ostomy might be temporary or permanent depending on the gravity of the condition. An ostomate is somebody who has an ostomy. There are three types of ostomy surgeries: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. The first two make reference to the part of the intestinal system that is compromised in the procedure. A colostomy relates to the large intestine (colon) while an ileostomy to the small intestine (ileum). When the procedure involves the bladder, it is called a urostomy. An ostomy is performed for different reasons, but it remains as the last resort for intestinal pathologies.
