Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trans epidermal water loss | 8 hours | The trans epidermal water loss is measured on the peristomal skin using a probe. The trans epidermal water loss is a measure for the skins barrier function. There is always a loss of water from the skin due to natural evaporation. However, when the skin barrier is damaged the evaporation of water increases leading to a higher trans epidermal water loss. Thus, trans epidermal water loss is used to assess the damage to the skin. |
