- Abstract—Stoma may form after intestinal surgeries. Electrolyte imbalance may occur due to stoma. So this study was carried out to find out the changes in Serum Sodium and Serum Potassium level upto 5th post-operative day. Study was conducted on 100 post-operative cases with stoma addimitted in department of Surgery, SMS Medical college, Jaipur (Rajasthan) India. It was observed that patients with high output stoma are more prone to depletion of fluids and electrolytes than low output stoma, so they should be monitored and resuscitated aggressively in early post-operative periods. So it can be concluded that assessment of electrolyte is necessary in patients with these cases in early post-operative period.
