High risk approach in maternal and child healthShrooti Shah
High risk pregnancy is defined as one which is complicated by factor or factors that adversely affects the pregnancy outcome –maternal or perinatal or both.The risk factors may be pre-existing prior to or at the time of first antenatal visit or may develop subsequently in the ongoing pregnancy labour or puerperium.
Over 50 percent of all maternal complications and 60 percent of all primary caesarean sections arise from the high risk group of cases.
Launched by the ministry of health & family welfare, government of India, under the national health mission.
It envisages Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services

Every year more than 10 million children die in developing countries due to acute respiratory infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhea, measles, malaria, or malnutrition - and often to a combination of these illnesses. In 1990s, the WHO, in collaboration with UNICEF and many other agencies, institutions and individuals, responded to this challenge by developing a strategy known as the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMNCI).This strategy adopted in India as Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI). IMNCI caters to two groups of children
• 0-2 months, referred to as young infants.
• 2 months to 5 years, referred to as children.
Weighing of the child at regular intervals, the plotting of that weight on a graph (called a growth chart) enabling one to see changes in weight, and giving advice to the mother based on this weight change is called ‘GROWTH MONITORING’
RMNCH+A approach has been launched in 2013 and it essentially looks to address the major causes of mortality among women and children as well as the delays in accessing and utilizing health care and services. The RMNCH+A strategic approach has been developed to provide an understanding of ‘continuum of care’ to ensure equal focus on various life stages.
The RMNCH+A appropriately directs the States to focus their efforts on the most vulnerable population and disadvantaged groups in the country. It also emphasizes on the need to reinforce efforts in those poor performing districts that have already been identified as the high focus districts.

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

maturity of the baby
ü Describe the purpose of neonatal screening
ü Identify at-risk infant
ü Define low birth weight. Enumerate the causes of LBW and
discuss the prevention and treatment of LBW babies.
4. Neonatal Screening
• Primarily to detect infants with treatable genetic, developmental and
other abnormalities
• Secondarily to provide their parents with genetic counselling.
• The Apgar score & routine clinical examinations are simple screening
tests which should be carried out on all newborn infants.
• Common – PKU, Neonatal hypothyroidism, Sickle cell or other
haemogobinopathies, Congenital dislocation of hip
5. Identify the "at-risk" infants
A. Working mother / one parent
B. Twins
C. Birth weight less than 2.5 kg
D. All the above
6. Identification of "at-risk" infants
• Birth weight less than 2.5 kg
• Twins
• Birth order 5 and more
• Artificial feeding
• Weight below 70 % of the expected weight
• Failure to gain weight during three successive months;
• Children with PEM / diarrhoea
• Working mother / one parent
7. Identify the Low Birth Weight baby
A. < 2800 g
B. < 3 kg
C. < 2 kg
D. < 2.5 kg
8. Low Birth weight
• < 2500 g
a) Those born prematurely (short gestation)
b) Those with foetal growth retardation
• Preterm : Babies born before the end of 37 weeks gestation
• Term : Babies born from 37 to < 42 completed weeks of gestation.
• Post-term : Babies born at or after 42 completed weeks of gestation.
9. Preterm
• Preterm is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy
are completed.
There are sub-categories of preterm birth, based on gestational age :
• Extremely preterm (<28 weeks)
• Very preterm (28 to <32 weeks)
• Moderate to late preterm (32 to 37 weeks)
10. Difference between Small For Date & Preterm Infants
Characteristic Small for gestational age infant Preterm infant
Gestational age 24-44weeks Younger than 37 weeks
Birth weight Under 10th percentile Normal for age
Congenital malformations Strong possibility Possibility
Pulmonary problems
Meconium aspiration, pulmonary
hemorrhage, pneumothorax
Respiratory distress syndrome
Hyperbilirubinemia Possibility Very strong possibility
Hypoglycemia Very strong possibility Possibility
Intra cranial hemorrhage Strong possibility Possibility
Apnea episodes Possibility Very strong possibility
Feeding problems
Most likely due to accompanying problems
like hypoglycemia
Small stomach capacity, immature sucking
reflex
Weight gain in nursery Rapid Slow
Future restricted growth
Possibly always under 10th percentile due
to poor organ development
Not likely to be restricted in growth as
“catch up” growth occurs
11. Preterm Babies: Causes
• Multiple birth
• Acute infection
• Hard physical work
• Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
12. Small for date (SFD) babies
• Born at term or preterm
• Weight less than 10th percentile for the gestational age
• Result of IUGR
13. Small for date (SFD) babies – Causes
Maternal factors:

14. Risk factors for LBW
• Malnutrition
• Infection
• Unregulated fertility (due to poor socio economic and environmental
conditions)
15. Importance of LBW
• Higher incidence
• Mental retardation
• Perinatal and infant mortality and morbidity (Atelectasis, pneumonia,
pulmonary haemorrhage)
• Human wastage and sufferings
• High cost of special care and intensive care units
16. Treatment
• Those < 2 kg: Intensive care therapy till weight reaches above 2kg
• Between 2-2.5: Intensive care therapy for 1 to 2 day.
Intensive care
• Incubatory care – temperature, humidity and oxygen supply
• Feeding – nasal catheter
• Prevention of infection
17. Kangaroo mother care (KMC)
• It is the care provided by the recently delivered mother to her LBW
newborn baby.
4 essential components:
• Akin to skin positioning of a baby on the mother’s chest
• Adequate nutrition through breast feeding
• Ambulatory care as a result earlier discharge from hospital
• Support mother and her family in caring for the baby
18. Prevention
Prevention of LBW through good prenatal care and
intervention programs should be practiced rather than
‘treatment’
19. Direct Intervention Measures
• Identify pregnant women at risk
• Mother’s health card
• Increased food intake
• Controlling maternal infections (malaria, UTI , CMV, Rubella)
• Early detection and treatment of medical disorders like hypertension,
toxemia, diabetes
20. Indirect intervention
• Family planning
• Avoidance of smoking
• Improved health and nutrition of young girls
• Improvement of socio-economic and environmental conditions
• Health and social services in underserved areas
• Maternity leave with full wages and child benefits
21. Leading causes of death in LBW babies
• Atelectasis
• Malformation
• Pulmonary haemorrhage
• Intracranial bleeding secondary to anoxia or birth trauma
• Pneumonia and other infections.
