Strategies for Managing Fluids and Electrolytes in High-Output Stomas: A Systematic Review and Evidence Summary

Hydro-electrolyte management in patients with HOS requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates fluid management, pharmacotherapy, nutritional support, and surgical intervention. This framework may reduce dehydration-related readmission and improve outcomes. Future large-scale prospective studies are warranted to verify the efficacy, safety, and novel therapies, explore new therapeutic targets/drugs, and develop standardized guidelines, with an emphasis on individualized management for complex cases and prioritizing patient quality of life.
