Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

17. Introduction
• Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, life-
threatening complication of diabetes mellitus.
• DKA occurs predominantly in patients with type 1
diabetes mellitus, but 10% - 30% of cases occur in
newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• DKA consists of three major abnormalities:
elevated blood glucose level, high ketone bodies,
and a metabolic acidosis with an elevated anion
gap.
20. Causes of DKA
1. Omission or reduced daily insulin
injections
2. Dislodgement/occlusion of insulin
pump catheter
3. Infection
4. Pregnancy
5. Hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma,
Cushing’s syndrome
6. Substance abuse (cocaine)
7. Medications: steroids, thiazides,
antipsychotics, sympathomimetics
8. Heat-related illness
9. Cerebrovascular accident
10. GI hemorrhage
11. Myocardial infarction
12. Pulmonary embolism
13. Pancreatitis
14. Major trauma
15. Surgery
21. Clinical Features : Symptoms
1. Timing
– Rapid onset of symptoms
– Follows febrile illness (40%)
2. Hyperglycemia symptoms
– Polyuria and polydipsia (98%)
– Polyphagia (23%)
3. Gastrointestinal symptoms
– Nausea and Vomiting (50-80%
of cases)
– Abdominal Pain (30% of
patients)
4. Miscellaneous symptoms
– Weight loss (81%)
– Fatigue (62%)
– Dyspnea (57%)
– Weakness
– Lethargy
22. Clinical Features : Signs
1. Mental clouding (lethargy to coma)
1. Metabolic Acidosis findings
– Kussmaul Breathing
– Acetone on breath (sweet or fruity breath smell)
1. Dehydration (often >10% dehydrated)
– Dry Skin with loss of Skin Turgor
– Eyes sunken
– Tachycardia and possibly Hypotension
– Temperature below normal
23. Management goals
• Fluid resuscitation
• Reversal of the acidosis and ketosis
• Reduction in the plasma glucose
concentration to normal
• Replenishment of electrolyte and volume
losses
• Identification of underlying cause
25. Bicarbonate therapy
• A prospective randomized study in patients with pH between 6.9
and 7.1 showed that bicarbonate therapy had no risk or benefit in
DKA [7]
• pH between 6.9 and 7.0, it may be beneficial to give 50 mmol of
bicarbonate in 200 ml of sterile water with 10 mmol KCL over two
hours to maintain the pH at > 7.0[8]
• Adult patients with pH < 6.9 should be given 100 mmol sodium
bicarbonate in 400 ml sterile water (an isotonic solution) with 20
mmol KCl administered at a rate of 200 ml/h for two hours until the
venous pH becomes greater than 7.0. Venous pH should be
assessed every 2 hours until the pH rises to 7.0; treatment can be
repeated every 2 hours if necessary.[3,9]
