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.

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

Applied surgical anatomy of facial nerve in oral and maxillofacial surgery
1.
2. The main trunk of the nerve exits the stylomastoid
foramen and immediately enters the parotid gland.
The most consistent and reliable landmark for
identification of the facial nerve is the tympanomastoid
suture.
This suture line between the tympanic and mastoid
portions of the temporal bone points to the
stylomastoid foramen, which is 6 to 8 mm beneath
(medial to) the “drop-off” point of the tympanomastoid
suture (Tabb and Tannehill, 1973).
The main trunk can generally be found approximately
midway between the cartilaginous pointer of the
external auditory canal and the posterior belly of the
digastric muscle, where it attaches to the mastoid tip.
The styloid process is deep to the main trunk.
3. After exiting the stylomastoid
foramen, which is situated
posterolateral to stylomastoid
process, the nerve enters the
substance of parotid gland where it
divides into its upper and lower
divisions just posterior to the
mandible
The approximate distance from
the lowest point of the external
bony auditory meatus to the
bifurcation of the facial nerve is
2.3 cm (1.5-2.8)
Length of facial nerve trunk is
1.3 cm.
Posterior to the parotid
gland,the nerve is at least 2cm
deep into the skin surface.
4. The terminal branches of facial nerve then
spread in a fan like fashion as five separate
nerves
5. Temporal branch :
The temporal branches of the facial nerve
are often called the frontal branches when
they reach the supraciliary region.
Nerve injury is revealed by the inability to
raise the eyebrow or wrinkle the forehead.
The temporal branch or branches of the
facial nerve leave the parotid gland
immediately inferior to the zygomatic arch.
6. The general course is
from a point 0.5 cm
below the tragus to a
point 1.5 cm above the
lateral eyebrow .
It crosses superficial to
the zygomatic arch at
an average distance of
2 cm anterior to the
anterior concavity of the
external auditory canal,
but in some cases it is
as near as 0.8 cm or as
far as 3.5 cm anterior to
the external auditory
canal.
7. As the temporal branch
crosses the lateral surface of
the arch, it courses along the
undersurface of the
temporoparietal fascia,
between it and the fusion of
periosteum of the zygomatic
arch, the superficial layer of
temporalisfascia, and the
subgaleal fascia .
As the nerve courses
anterosuperiorly toward the
frontalis muscle, it lies on the
undersurface of the
temporoparietal fascia and
enters the frontalis muscle no
more than 2 cm above the
level of the superior orbital
rim.
8. • Anatomic dissection showing
the position of the temporal
branch of the facial nerve in
relation to the temporoparietal
fascia and zygomatic arch.
• The temporoparietal fascia is
retracted inferiorly.
• The temporal branch of the
facial nerve courses on its
deep surface (or within the
layer of fascia) anteriorly and
superiorly (dashed lines),
between the temporoparietal
fascia and the point of fusion
of the superficial layer of the
temporalis fascia with the
periosteum of the zygomatic
arch.
9. Zygomatic Branch :
Its course is antero superior crossing the
zygomatic bone
Inadvertent damage may occur to this nerve
during open reduction of zygomatic arch or with
the use of a byrd screw or zygomatic hook
during closed approaches
The mean horizontal distance of the zygomatic
branch (the most upper one) as it emerged from
the anterior border of the parotid gland and the
tragus was 30.71 mm, whereas the mean
vertical distance of the zygomatic branch from
the midpoint between the tragus and the lateral
palpebral commissure was 19.29 mm.
10. Buccal Branch:
It runs almost horizontally and will often divide
into separate branch above and below parotid
duct as it runs anteriorly
Injury is possible in association with soft tissue
trauma to the cheek region
Two studies evaluating landmarks for identification
of the buccal branch of the facial nerve (BN) were
found to be suitable for review.
Both studies focused on the parotid duct as a
landmark for localization of the BN, itself a mobile
soft tissue structure.
Pogrel et al. (1996) examined the course of the BN
in 20 cadaveric facial halves and noted the position
of the BN relative to the parotid duct.
11. The BN coursed a distance of 2.3 mm from the point of
emergence at the anterior edge of the parotid gland to
the point at which it crossed the duct.
When inferior to the duct, a vertical distance of
5.43±3.65mm was measured from the duct to the BN.
While Saylam et al (2006)documented the position of
the BN relative to the parotid duct
Only 21/66 (35%) of specimens were observed to have
branches passing inferior to the duct, 16.78±13.20mm
from point of emergence.
In 25% of specimens, the BN coursed superior to the
duct at a distance of 18.18±5.04mm from the anterior
edge of the parotid gland.
12. Marginal mandibular branch:
It extends anteriorly and inferiorly within the
substance of parotid gland, there may be two or
three branches of this nerve.
These branches run anteriorly parallel to
inferior border of mandible and in some cases
the course of the nerve is above the inferior
border.
The marginal mandibular branch is an
important structure encountered at the
inferior border of the mandible just beneath
the platysma muscle fibres during an open
approach to the mandibular angle and body
area.
13. The marginal mandibular branch or branches, which
supplymotor fibers to the facial muscles in the lower lip and chin,
represent the most important anatomic hazard while performing
the submandibular approach to the mandible.
Studies have shown that the nerve passes below the inferior
border of the mandible only in very few individuals
In the Dingman and Grabb classic dissection of 100 facial
halves, the marginal mandibular branch was almost 1 cm below
the inferior border in 19% of the specimens
Another important finding of the study by Dingman and Grabb
was that only 21% of the individuals had a single marginal
mandibular branch between the angle of the mandible and the
facial vessels , 67% had two branches 9% had three branches,
and 3% had four.
14. Ziarah and Atkinson found more individuals in whom the
marginal mandibular branch passed below the inferior
border.
In 53% of 76 facial halves, they found the marginal
mandibular branch passing below the inferior border
before reaching the facial vessels, and in 6%, the nerve
continued for a further distance of almost 1.5 cm before
turning upward and crossing the mandible.
The farthest distance between a marginal mandibular
branch and the inferior border of the mandible was 1.2 cm.
In view of these findings, most surgeons recommend that
the incision and deeper dissection be at least 1.5 cm
below the inferior border of the mandible.
15. Examples of the variation in facial
nerve anatomy. Three branches of the
marginal
mandibular nerve are shown coursing
anteriorly (m) while the cervical
branch is shown coursing inferiorly
(c).
In this photograph, the marginal
mandibular branch (m) is seen
coursing deep to the retromandibular
vein (v).
16. Cervical Branch:
The cervical branch exits the parotid gland
above its inferior pole and runs downwards
underneath the platysma muscle.
The gonion and angle of mandible may be
used as reliable landmarks during
preoperative planning to identify or avoid
injury to the cervical branch during
retromandibular and submandibular
approaches.
17. 3 surgical maneuvers used to identify
nerve trunk
A. Blood free plane in front of external acoustic
meatus
B. Exposure of anterior border of SCM below
insertion into mastoid process
C. Peripheral identification of terminal branch
of facial nerve (marginal mandibular branch)
18. For middle ear and mastoid surgery
1. Processus cochleariform: small bony
protuberance, geniculate ganglion
anterior
2. Short process of Incus: nerve
medial
3. Lateral/Horizontal Semicircular
Canal: nerve runs
below
4. Oval window: nerve runs above
5. Pyramid: nerve runs behind
6. Tympanomastoid suture: nerve runs
behind
7. Digastric ridge: nerve at anterior end
19. For parotid surgery:
Trunk of facial nerve is deep in location (average
3.0- 3.5 cm beneath the skin surface)
It consistently emerges from the stylomastoid
foramen between four well known landmarks
1. The palpable bony transverse process of atlas
inferiorly
2. The palpable bony external cartilageous meatus
superiorly.
3. The palpable bony posterior border of ramus
anteriorly
4. Mastoid tip posteriorly.
20. The surgeon can easily pin point its
anticipated location by advancing finger
anteriorly along the mastoid tip until it falls
into a hollow below the cartilageous meatus
just posterior to ramus of mandible
21.

26. Facial nerve paralysis is a common problem
that involves paralysis of any structures
innervated by facial nerve.
Pathway of facial nerve is long and
convoluted ,so there are a number of causes
that result in facial paralysis.
Facial nerve paralysis classified as
1. Supranuclear lesions(UMN lesion)
2. Infranuclear lesions(LMN lesion)
34. Neuropraxia:
• Epineurium& endoneurium intact but nerve is just
compressed
• No axonal degeneration distal to site
• Temporary conduction block
• No surgical intervention
Axonotmesis: (prolonged conduction block)
• Loss of continuity of some axons(axonal degeneration)
• Distal to site, WALLERIAN DEGENERATION occurs
• After 3 months, initial signs of recovery
• Wallerian degeneration (when a nerve is cut or crushed
the part of axon distal to injury degenerates).
35. Neurotmesis (total permanent conduction block)
• Complete severance of all layers of nerve
• Distal to injury wallerian degeneration occurs
• Space between proximal & distal filled by scar
tissue
• Surgical intervention must
36.
37.
38. It is defined as an idiopathic paresis or
paralysis of the facial nerve of sudden onset.
The name was ascribed to SIR CHARLES
BELL, who in 1821demonstrated the
separation of motor and sensory innervation
of face.
40. Main cause of Bell's palsy is latent herpes
viruses
(herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes
zoster virus),which are reactivated from
cranial nerve ganglia
Polymerase chain reaction techniques
have isolated herpes virus DNA from the
facial nerve during acute palsy
41. Inflammation of the nerve initially results in a
reversible neurapraxia
Herpes zoster virus shows more
aggressive biological behavior than herpes
simplex virustype1
Bell's phenomenon is the upward
diversion of the eye ball on attempted
closure of the lid is seen when eye closure is
incomplete.
42. INCIDENCE-15-40 cases per 1 lakh cases
SEX PREDILECTION- women more affected
than men.
3.3 more times common in pregnancy and in
the third trimester.
AGE- can occur at any age, common in middle
aged people.
SIDE INVOLVMENT- can be equally seen,
usually unilateral.
43. Unilateral involvement
Inability to smile, close eye or
raise eyebrow
Whistling impossible
Drooping of corner of the
mouth
Inability to close eyelid (Bell’s
sign)
Inability to wrinkle forehead
Loss of blinking reflex
Slurred speech
Mask like appearance of face
Loss/ alteration of taste
44. Partial paralysis always resolves completely
within a few weeks.
Recovery from complete paralysis takes
longer (months) and is complete in only
about 60-70% of cases.
Approximately 15% of patients are left with
troublesome residual palsy and or
synkinesis( simultaneous movements ).

46. o James Ramsay hunt (1907)
o Caused by varicella zoster
o Infection along facial nerve near inner ear
o Syndrome occurs when geniculate ganglion is involved due to
reactivation
o Classical triad:
1. Ipsilateral facial paralysis
2. Ear pain/hearing loss
3. Vesicles in pinna
o Sensation of spinning
o tinnitus (is the perception
of noise or ringing in the ears)
47.
48. Also known as orofacial
granulomatosis
Idiopathic Neurological
disorder
Non tender persistent
swelling of one or both
lip
Facial paralysis
Lingua plicata
(fissured tongue)
49. Otitis media is an infection in the middle
ear, which can spread to the facial nerve
and inflame it, causing compression of the
nerve in its canal.
50. Moebius syndrome (congenital
facial diplegia)
Facial Nerve absent / smaller
Congenital Extra ocular muscle &
facial palsy
Described by Moebius(1888)
Rare neurological disorder
Congenital defect -Paralysis of VII
and VI nerves
Mask like face –expressionless
Unable to close eyes-corneal
ulcerations
Strabismus (a condition in which
the eyes do not properly align
with each other when looking at
an object).
51. first Described by Jean landry(1800s)
Discovered by Jean Barre and Georges
Guillain(1916)
Inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
affecting peripheral nerves including VII nerve
causing facial palsy
Treated by IVIG(Intravenous Immunoglobulin
Treatment )& Plasma exchange
52.
53. Encountered during IANB
Due to injection of LA into parotid gland if
needle injected too backwards
Temporary paralysis of facial nerve
Effect wears off over a period of time(<3Hrs)
during which eye needs to be protected(eye
patch).
54. Unilateral facial paralysis involving only the
lower lip and congenital heart disease
The facial paralysis in these patients
involves only those muscles concerned with
pulling the lower lip downwards and
outwards.
These are the mentalis, depressor labii
inferioris and depressor anguli oris muscles.
55. All are supplied by the mandibular marginal
branch of the facial nerve.
Lesions of this nerve have been recognized in
adults and children for many years
The paralysis is only recognizable when the
patient talks, smiles or cries
56. There is a set of typical symptoms within
Treacher Collins Syndrome
The OMENS classification was developed as
a comprehensive and stage-based approach
to differentiate the diseases.
O; orbital asymmetry
M; mandibular hypoplasia
E; auricular deformity
N; nerve development and
S; soft-tissue disease
57. N0: No facial nerve involvement
N1: Upper facial nerve involvement (temporal
or zygomatic branches)
N2: Lower facial nerve involvement (buccal,
mandibular or cervical)
N3: All branches affected
58. It is a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies that
involves structures arising from the first and second
branchial arches.
Features of hemi facial microsomia, anotia(absence of
the external ear), vertebral anomalies, congenital
facial nerve palsy.
59. Involuntary twitching of
facial muscles on one or
both sides
1. Hemifacial spasm- on
oneside due to irritation of
nerve at cerebellopontine
angle( microvascular
decompression, botulinum
toxin)
2. Blepharospasm- limited
to orbicularis oculi on both
sides(bot toxin into
periorbital muscles).
