Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

“Drug”… a substance that alters the mind
Much of what you hear about drugs comes from the dealers.
They spread the word, they spread the “facts” they make it
seem like it won’t be so bad. They lie.
2. People do drugs to change something about their lives.
To fit in: 55% say that’s why they started. Dealers know.
To escape or relax
To seem grown up
To relieve boredom
To rebel
To experiment
They think drugs are a solution… but eventually the drugs
become the problem.
3. Drugs are a poison the amount taken determines the
effect.
Stimulant
Small amounts act as a ___________.
Sedative
Large amounts act as a ___________.
Kill
Even larger amounts __________.
4. Distort perceptions of what’s happening around them.
They may act odd, irrational, inappropriate, or
destructive.
Block off all sensations good and bad.
May take away pain but also takes away alertness and
abilities.
Slow the mind
Memory is slow, blank spots, makes someone feel
stupid, causes more failures and leads to more drugs to
deal with those feelings of inadequacy.
5. Medicines are drugs that are intended to speed up or
slow down or change something about the way your
body is working, to try to make it work better.
Sometimes they are necessary. But they are still drugs:
they act as stimulants or sedatives, and too much can
kill you.

When smoking Marijuana people hold it in their lungs for
as long as they can to increase the effect. This causes more
damage to the lungs than cigarettes.
Alcohol stays in the body for a few hours. THC stays in the
body for WEEKS!
40% of males arrested test positive for THC
In a study 62% of people who used marijuana later went on
to use cocaine, 9% heroine, and 54% abused prescription
drugs.
Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most common
drug found in the blood of drivers involved in fatal
automobile crashes.
9. Studies have linked heavy Marijuana use to brain
abnormalities.
Studies have also linked long term Marijuana use to
psychosis which is a loss of reality, false beliefs, or
seeing or hearing things that aren’t just there.
Marijuana causes deformed sperm to form. Which can
cause temporary sterility.
THC disrupts nerve cells in the brain affecting
memory.

man. It has proven to be
nearly impossible to become
free of it’s grip.
Cocaine causes an intense

Creates a strong
dependence, quick tolerance
and immediate addiction.
How it’s used:

13. Next to Meth Cocaine has the greatest psychological
dependence of any drug.
Cocaine causes an intense high followed by an extreme low
of depression. People will do almost anything to get the
drug after they reach this low. Even commit murder or
suicide.
Children of cocaine-addicted mothers come into the world
as addicts themselves.
Cocaine use can lead to death from respiratory (breathing)
failure, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain)
or heart attack.
14. The Truth about Cocaine
If you use Marijuana you are 85 times more likely to use Cocaine
15. 2

Crack reaches the brain within
seconds, lasts about 15 minutes
The smoke form is the most

Many people become addicted after
the first try because coming down
from the high sends them lower and
they immediately crave the high
again. But that high will never be
reached again and they are hooked
on a never ending chase.

17. Regardless of how much of the drug is used or how
frequently, crack cocaine increases the risk that the
user will experience a heart attack, stroke, seizure or
respiratory failure, any of which can result in sudden
death.
Coming down from the drug causes severe depression,
which becomes deeper and deeper after each use. This
can get so severe that a person will do almost anything
to get the drug—even commit murder. And if he or she
can’t get crack cocaine, the depression can get so
intense it can drive the addict to suicide.

things like cold medicine, battery acid, drain
cleaner, lantern fuel, and anti freeze.
Producing one pound of Meth leaves 5 pounds of
waste. Which is harmful and toxic.
“When I gave my three-year-old son some cheese to eat, I did not know that I
was giving him poisoned food. I was too stoned on meth to notice, until twelve
hours later, that my son was deathly ill. But then I was so stoned it took me two
hours to figure out how to get him to the hospital five miles away. By the time I
got to the emergency room my boy was pronounced dead of a lethal dose of
ammonia hydroxide—one of the chemicals used to make meth.” —Melanie

1. The rush: Pulse, blood pressure and metabolism soar. Generally 3-5 minutes. Can last
up to 30 minutes.
2. The high: Feel aggressively smarter often arguing . Can become super focused on an
item such as washing the same window for hours. Lasts 4-16 hours
3. The Binge: Uncontrolled use of a drug or alcohol. User becomes hyperactive mentally
and physically. Each time they use the drug they feel a smaller and smaller rush. Finally
there is no rush or high. Can’t sleep for days. Can last 3-15 days.
4. Tweaking: Most dangerous phase. The user can no longer feel the rush or high and
begins to feel itchy and steps into their own world having hallucinations, hearing things,
and itches and scratches their skin. They can become hostile and dangerous.
The crash: The body is unable to cope with the effects and becomes lifeless and sleeps for
1-3 days.
Meth Hangover: User is in a deteriorated state. They are starved, dehydrated, and
exhausted physically and mentally. This lasts 2-14 days
Withdrawal: 30-90 days pass after the last drug use. And the user realizes they are in
withdrawal. They feel depressed, no energy and no ability to experience pleasure. They
cannot deal with the feelings and turn to more meth.

It is manufactured from fungus that
grows on rye and other grains.
It is produced in crystal form in

38. An oral dose equal in weight to a few grains of salt is capable of
producing vivid hallucinations.
The effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend on the amount
taken, the person’s mood and personality, and the surroundings in
which the drug is used. It is a roll of the dice.
The ability to make sensible judgments and see common dangers is
impaired. An LSD user might try to step out a window to get a “closer
look” at the ground. He might consider it fun to admire the
sunset, blissfully unaware that he is standing in the middle of a busy
intersection.
Many LSD users experience flashbacks, or a recurrence of the LSD trip,
often without warning, long after taking LSD.
Bad trips and flashbacks are only part of the risks of LSD use. LSD
users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses or severe
depression.

Editor's Notes
Why do we talk about drugs?I don’t want to preach to you, scare you, or threaten you. I just want to teach you the facts about drugs. Too many teens today abuse drugs, they throw away their lives or at least a part of their lives that cannot be replaced and that’s why I want to teach you the facts.
They use drugs to solve their problems, but it doesn’t solve them, it only makes them worse. So then they are stuck in this cycle of drug abuse, trying to solve their problems, developing more problems and then back to drug abuse to solve those problems. Drug abuse is never the answer, it only causes more problems and that’s why we are going to talk about the facts.
