This document discusses various methods for estimating blood loss and determining when blood transfusions are needed. It notes that visual inspection and clinical estimates typically underreport blood loss by 30-40%. Other estimation methods include changes in vital signs, urine output, weighing blood-soaked materials, and using the hemodilution or percentage method to calculate allowable blood loss based on patient condition and initial hematocrit. Training programs are recommended to help clinicians more accurately estimate blood loss amounts.

Blood transfusion is generally the process of receiving blood or blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. Early transfusions used whole blood, but modern medical practice commonly uses only components of the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, and platelets.

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.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

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

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. VISUAL INSPECTION
-It is Inaccurate. In some reports, the amount of blood
estimated to have been lost by inspection was half
the measured loss
CLINICIANS
-They typically under estimate Post-Partum blood loss
by 30% to 40%
IMPORTANTLY
-In Obstetrics, part or all of the hemorrhage may be
concealed
-Clinicians commonly record blood loss using inaccurately
low numbers “How can we teach people to accurately
and honestly record blood loss
3. ON AVERAGE
-Women lose about
a- 500 ml in a
b-1000 ml in CS
C-1500 ml in a cesarean Hysterectomy.
THE CRITICAL AREA
-Where you want to estimate blood loss is
over 2,000 ml, and we almost always
underestimate that. By that point, the
patient has Hypotension, and has significant
tachycardia, and is in SHOCK
5. -Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
--By the time you detect changes in Blood pressure OR Heart
rate suggesting PPH, the women already has lost 1/3rd of
her blood volume
--Orthostatic Hypotension would tell you that patient has lost
20% to 25% of her blood, but if she is sitting or lying down
on the delivery table, you are unlikely to detect that
symptom.
--Hypotension reflects a loss of 30% to 35% of blood volume.
“Do not wait for Hypotension to develop along with its
signs and symptoms” and to treat for PPH “Do not wait
to start seeing S and S.
-1-Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
6. -Hematocrit
--It needs 4 hours for significant changes and 48 hours for
complete compensation
--In acute hemorrhage, the immediate Hematocrit may not
reflect acute blood loss
--After the loss 1000 ml of blood, the hematocrit typically
falls only 3 volume percent in the first hour
--When resuscitation is given with rapid infusion of I/V
crystalloids, there is a rapid equilibrium in the circulation.
--During an episode of acute significant hemorrhage, the initial
hematocrit is always in the highest limits. This is true
weather it is measured in the delivery room or operation
room, or recovery room.
-2--Hematocrit
7. --Urine output
--One of the most important “vital signs” to follow in the
bleeding patient with obstetrical Hemorrhage.
--In the absence of Diuretics, the rate of urine formation
reflects the adequacy of renal perfusion and, in tern,
perfusion of other vital organs, because renal blood flow
is especially sensitive to the changes in the blood volume.
--Urine flow of atleast 30 ml and preferably 60 ml per hour
should be maintained
--With potentially serious hemorrhage, an indwelling catheter
should be inserted to measure urine flow.
-3-Urine output
8. --4-Weighing Packs:- and correlate with
blood loss: Hospitals keeps scales in
the Delivery rooms to weigh Lap
sponges and other materials to
estimate blood loss 1 kg soaked
swabs = 1000 ml
-5-perhaps the easiest method of
estimating is to picture a soda can
which would hold about 350 ml of
blood. When you look at blood clots
or blood in a canister, estimate how
many cans of soda are represented
and you will be close to blood volume
lost. The principal is to recognize
volume
9. 6- Maximum Capacity of Swabs
a-Small =(10 X 10 cm) 60 ml
b-Medium =(30 X30 cm) 140 ml
c-Large =(45 X 45 cm) 350 ml
7-Floor Spill
a-50 cm Diameter = 500 ml
b-75 cm Diameter = 1000 ml
c-100 cm Diameter = 1500 ml
8-Vaginal PPH
Limited to bed only:- Unlikely to exceed 1000 ml
Spilling from bed to Floor likely to exceed 1000 ml
10. -B-Actual Blood Loss
--In the Perioperative period clinical estimation of
blood loss is inaccurate and alone should not be
used to determine the need for red blood cells
transfusion
--Poor agreement between the actual blood loss and
the estimated blood loss. The 95% confidence
intervals (-719.939 ml to 1265.619 ml) suggest
that clinical estimation alone may result in
unacceptable under or over transfusions
--In 64%of the cases the blood loss was under
estimated.
--Clinical estimation of blood loss suffer from large
interobserver variability and poor repeatability.
11. --The extent of blood loss and response to
transfusion is reflected in the changes
in the Hematocrit
--This change may be used to calculate the
actual blood loss using suitable
formulae
-Actual Blood Loss cont.
12. -Actual Blood Loss
--It is a modification of the gross formula
ABL = BV [Hct (i) – Hct (f) / Hct (m)
BLOOD VOLUME = Body weight in Kgms X 70 ml Kg – 1
Hct (i), Hct (f) and Hct (m): the initial, final and mean
(of the initial and final) Hematocrits respectively
BLOOD VOLUME
a-NEONATES = 85 to 90 ml / Kg body weight
b-CHILDREN = 80 ML / Kg body weight
c-ADULTS = 70 ml / Kg body weight
13. -Calculating blood loss in theatre
--1-Weigh a Dry Swab
--2-Weigh blood soaked swabs as soon as they
are discarded and subtract their dry weight
(1 ml of blood weighs approximately 1 gm)
--3-Substract the weight of empty “suction
bottles” from the filled ones
--4-Estimate blood loss into surgical drapes,
together with the pooled blood beneath the
patient and onto the floor.
--5-Note the Volume of irrigation fluids,
subtract this volume from the measured
blood loss to estimate the final blood loss
14. -The Decision to transfuse Blood
-Percentage Method
-Calculate the patients blood volume
-Decide on the percentage of blood volume that
could be lost but safely tolerated, depending
on the clinical condition of the patient,
provided that Normovolemia is maintained
15. Patient condition Health Average Poor
Patient condition Health Average Poor
Percentage method
Acceptable loss of
blood volume before
transfusion method 30% 20% <10%
Haemodilution Hb 7-8g/dl Hct
21-24%
8- 9g/dl
24-27%
10g/dl
30%
16. -HEMODILUTION METHOD
--Decide on the lowest acceptable Hb or Hematocrit (Hct) that
may be safely tolerated by the patient
--Calculate the allowable volume of blood loss that can occur
before a blood transfusion becomes necessary.
--Replace the blood loss up to the allowable volume with
Crystalloid or colloid fluids to maintain Normovolemia.
--If the allowable blood loss volume is exceeded, further
replacement should be with blood
17. --Which ever method is used, the decision to transfuse
will depend on the clinical condition of the patient
and supply. This particularly limited in patients with
evidence of severe cardiac or respiratory disease or
pre-existing anemia
--The methods described are simple guidelines which
must be altered according to the clinical situation.
--Further blood loss should be anticipated, particularly
postoperatively
--Whenever possible, transfuse blood when surgical
bleeding is controlled. This will maximize the
benefits of the transfusion
18. --The American college of Physicians
recommended that RBC transfusions should
be done Unit by Unit and the patient should
be evaluated between each transfusion.
--Excessive intraoperative transfusion and
the practice of administering blood without
Re-Evaluating the Hematocrit in between
resulted in 90% of the un-necessary
transfusions
--Determination of the Hematocrit
immediately before administration of each
unit would reduce blood consumption by 25%.
