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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. “Brain imaging studies reveal breath-activated pathways to all major
networks involved in emotion regulation, cognitive function,
attention, perception, subjective awareness, and decision making.
Specific breath practices have been shown to be beneficial in
reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, insomnia, posttraumatic stress
disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, attention
deficit disorder, and schizophrenia.”

12. Trauma Affects Stress Response Systems
Autonomic Nervous System
Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis
Anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, emotion dysregulation,
behavioral dysregulation, stress‐ related medical conditions
(metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, GI) are all
associated with malfunctions in stress response systems.
Mind‐body practices, especially breathing practices, have the
potential to correct stress‐related disorders of these systems.
Slide courtesy of Patricia Gerbarg, MD, 2016 APA Course
13. How to interrupt the stress loop?
Parasympathetic Nervous System:
Rest and Digest
Main component is Vagus Nerve.
Deep Breathing activates stretch
receptors in the lungs that activate
PNS and interrupt stress loop.
14. Breath and Emotion
❖ Specific emotions induce breath patterns
❖ Voluntary changes in breath pattern induce specific emotions
❖ Breathing activates the vagus nerve
❖ Voluntary change in pattern of breath can alter the activity of
vagus nerve

and Emotion. 2002. 16(5):605‐607) Slide courtesy of Patricia Gerbarg, MD
20. Slow, Deep Breathing
❖ Breathing rate is less than 12 bpm
Ideal rate is 5 bpm, which is called
Coherent Breathing
❖ Breathing is even
(inhalation and exhalation are equal)
❖ Breathing is gentle
21. How can we practice slow, deep breathing?
Also called Conscious Breathing, Paced Breathing,
Qigong Breathing.
When the rate is the ideal rate of 5 bpm (breaths
per minute), it is called Coherent Breathing.
(continued)
22. How to Practice Slow, Deep Breathing?
❖ Simply enjoy some slow deep breaths anytime.
❖ Or you can count silently to yourself to pace your
breathing. For example, count to 6, or to whatever
number is comfortable, on the in-breath and on
the out-breath. (continued)
23. How to Practice Slow, Deep
Breathing?
You can use an app,
download, or YouTube
video to pace your
breathing.
Breathing Zone App
24. “To be unable to feel the life that animates the
physical body, the very life that you are, is the
greatest deprivation that can happen to you.”
Eckhart Tolle
26. What is the recommended amount of time
to practice slow, deep breathing each day?
Recommended amount of time is at least
20 minutes once or twice a day. However
shorter practice times are also beneficial.
27.
28. Research Has Shown Many Benefits
from Slow, Deep Breathing:
Improved mental clarity and focus
Decreased depression
Decreased anxiety
Improved energy and vitality
Decreased symptoms of PTSD
29. "Poor posture, restrictive clothing, diets that lead to high
blood pressure and racing hearts, increasingly rapid and
emotionally stressful lives, lack of exercise, multitasking,
polluted environments, and slouching in front of
computers are just a few of the things that literally take
our breath away, creating a lifestyle that's incongruent
with proper breathing." Don Campbell
30. Modern life causes the
average person to use
about a third of the
natural lung capacity.

32. Massage Tools will be available
for use at the end of this
session, and also available to
use in the Self-Care Station on
the 7th floor throughout
the conference.
33. Massage scalp and face
through towel.
Massaging over jaw
stimulates gums and
improves dental health.
34. Radiant Mind Breathing Exercise: Kapalabhati
1. Exhale and Inhale through the nose.
2. Each exhalation is short and vigorous, using the abdominal
muscles to actively expel air.
3. Let the inhalation happen on it’s own. Pay attention to the
exhalation, and don’t worry about the inhalation.
Complete 3 rounds, each round of 20 breaths, with a brief
rest between rounds.
35. Compassionate Abiding: Breathing Practice for Emotional Health
“A question that has intrigued me for years is this: how can we
start exactly where we are, with all our entanglements, and still
develop unconditional acceptance of ourselves instead of guilt
and depression? One of the most helpful methods I’ve found is
the practice of compassionate abiding.” Pema Chodron
(continued)
36. Compassionate Abiding
“The next time you realize that you’re hooked [on a painful emotion],
you could experiment with this approach. Contacting the experience of
being hooked, you breathe in, allowing the feeling completely and
opening to it. The in-breath can be deep and relaxed—anything that
helps you to let the feeling be there, anything that helps you not push it
away. “ Pema Chodron (continued)
37. Compassionate Abiding
“Then, still abiding with the urge and edginess of the feeling, as
you breathe out you relax and give the feeling space. The out-
breath is not a way of sending the discomfort away but of
ventilating it, of loosening the tension around it, of becoming
aware of the space in which the discomfort is occurring.”
Pema Chodron
38. Compassionate Abiding
“A paradox is central to the practice of
Compassionate Abiding: the less we fight against
that which is disturbing us, the less disturbing
these experiences become.”
Richard E. Schultz, Ph.D.
41. Alternate Nostril Breathing
Can be done sitting or lying down (helps to improve sleep)
Use thumb to gently close right nostril.
Take 10 breaths in and out through open nostril.
Breathe gently, allowing each inhale and exhale
to be relaxed and full.
Then switch sides. Use fingers to gently close left nostril.
Take 10 breaths in and out through open nostril.
Repeat and continue alternate nostril breathing every 10
breaths for 3 to 5 minutes or longer.
42. Another Technique for Alternate Nostril Breathing
1. Close off one nostril, and take one gentle breath (exhale and inhale)
through the open nostril
2. After one breath, switch sides, closing off the other nostril and
taking one full exhale and inhale through the open nostril
3. Switch to the other nostril after each full exhale and inhale
Tip: Always begin with the exhale and switch nostrils after completing
each inhale
43. “The empiric literature on therapeutic breathing for
psychiatric disorders is expanding along with the breath
retraining technologies. Clinicians interested in integrating
breath practices into their work will be able to choose
applications that they find most suitable to their patient
population and to their own practice style.”
Breathing Practices for Treatment of Psychiatric and Stress-Related Medical Conditions, Richard P. Brown, MD, Patricia L.
Gerbarg, MD, Fred Muench, PhD, Psychiatric Clinics of North America, March 2013
44. Dynamics of Breathing
for Stress Reduction:
Improve breathing by keeping
upper airways open by daily
Nasal Irrigation with Saline Rinse,
such as Nasopure
45. Mindful Breathing Exercise:
Listening to the sound of the
breath. Wearing quiet muff
headphones or ear plugs makes
breath sounds easier to hear and
listen to.
48. “Inhale, and spirit approaches you.
Hold the inhalation, and spirit remains with you.
Exhale, and you approach spirit.
Hold the exhalation, and surrender to spirit.”
Krishnamacharya
