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.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

28. Fluid types
Crystalloids and colloids
3ml of crystalloids = 1ml of colloid (blood for intravascular
replacement)
Crystalloids
1. Molecular wt <8000 daltons
2. Replaces mainly extracellular volume
E.g.
a. Normal saline.
b. 5% dextrose
c. Ringer’s lactate
3. Shorter intravascular half life
4. In trauma it stabilizes the haemodyNamics in 3 hrs
29. Colloids

2. Replace intravascular volume
E.g.
a. Serum albumin.
b. Human plasma.
c. Synthetic plasma expanders.
i. Gelatin solution
ii. Dextrans
3. Longer intravascular half life
4. In trauma it stabilizes the haemodyNamics in 2 hrs
30. IV fluids
0.9%Sodium Chloride –
iso osmolar with plasma and ECF hence Called normal saline…
serves a good replacement solution for ECF volume deficient…
chloride content - higher than that of plasma infusion → too much of
normal saline may produce hyperchloraemic acidosis…
IndiCation : ECF def in the presence of hyperNatremia, hypochloremia
& metabolic alkylosis…
31. Dextrose 5%in water
It provides 50gms of dextrose / l.
It is slightly hypertonic to plasma
after infusion dextrose is metabolized→ water is left in the ECF…
too much of 5% dextrose may Cause dilution and hypotonicity of ECF
and water loading, if kidneys are not functioning normally.
100ml --- dextrose 5gm
Dextrose 5%with 0.9% of saline.
Its twice as hypertonic as plasma…
However within a few hours glucose is used and there is no signifiCant
change in the plasma tonicity…
100ml ----dextrose 5 gm, NaCl .9 gm, water
32. Lactated ringers solution.
This is slightly hypo osmolar compared to plasma & contains Na, K, Ca,
Cl & Lactate...
Its good substitute for gastrointestiNal and other ECF fluid deficits in
the absence of gross abnormalities of concentration
Used in correcting metabolic acidosis….
Should not be given in patients with liver diseases and in presence of
lactic acidosis.
33. Ringers acetate solution.
- slightly hypo osmolar to plasma…
- main use is as a replacement for ECF deficits in patients with
damaged liver or lactic acidosis..
- helps in correction of mild to moderate metabolic acidosis.
0.45% sodium chloride in 5% dextrose solution
- It is used as mainteNance fluid in postoperative period.
- Provides sodium for reNal adjustment of sodium concentration in the
serum.
- Potassium may be added to be used for mainteNance requirements
in uncompliCated pt requiring only a short period of parenteral fluids.
34. Hypertonic saline solution
1.8% sodiumchloride
- Indicated in correction of pts with symptomatic hyponatraemia who
Can not be given too much of water volume due to oliguria or anuria.
7.2-7.5% sodium chloride
- Studies have shown that even with 50% blood loss a small volume of
7.2-7.5% NaCl restores the Cardiac output and blood pressure within
one minute.
- This saline is given through a peripheral vein very fast over 2 to 5
mins. And this results in rise in the plasma sodium level and plasma
osmolality Causing a shift of body water in the vascular tree
35. Colloid solutions
Human plasma
Used for resuscitation of shock patient and for
mainteNance of I.V. fluid therapy
it has a composition and osmolality similar to ECF.
Human Albumin
20% purified human albumin is commercially available. Its volume
expansion Capacity is 400 per cent.
Rarely, aNaphylactoid reaction has been reported with albumin and
may Cause post resuscitation hypotension.
36. The usual volume of fluid intake necessary.
The choice of IV fluid type.
Three electrolytes considered when choosing an IV solution.
37. In general after dentoalveolar surgery IN otherwise healthy patient
requires a relatively physiologic IV solution with some calories during
and after surgery, which can be provided IN combination WITH
crystalloid solutions, such as 5% dextrose in a 0.45% sodium chloride
solution to which 20 mEq of potassium chloride per liter MAY BE
added.

Numbness tingling sensation in the circumoral region and the tip of the
fingers and toes
Convulsions in severe cases
Diagnosis:
Chvostek’s sign
Trousseau’s sign
Treatment
Iv calcium for acute
Oral calcium and vitamin d for chronic cases
79.
80. Acute management-
10 % ca gluconate 10 to 20 ml slow i.V. Over 10 mins
If i.V. Ca doesn’t relieve tetany, rule out hypomagnesemia
Long term management-
Rx underlying etiology
Ca supplements
Vitamin d supplements
81. MAGNESIUM
4th most common cation in ecf
2nd most common cation in icf
Serum level : 1.8 to 3 mg/l
Function: normal contractility of muscle and excitability of neuronal
tissues
•Normal daily intake is 20 to 25 meq / day
•8 meq/day is absorbed and excreted in urine
82. Hypomagnesemia
Signs and sypmtoms: muscular tremors, hyperactive deep tendon
reflexes
Magnesium deficiency
Parenteral administration of magnesium chloride or sulphate
solution
Monitor heart rate, BP, respiration and ECG for signs of
toxicity
Followed by 10 to 20 mEq of 50% of magnesium sulphate
solution daily IM or IV
83. Hypermagnesemia
Hypermagnecaemia is extremely rare and is only seen in severe renal
insufficiency more so when renal dialysis is carried out
Occurs when magnesium containing antacids and laxatives are used in
patients with impaired renal function
Burns and massive trauma
Clinical features
Hypoactive deep tendon reflexes, shallow and slow respirations
lethargy, weakness
Ecg changes – increased pr interval, widened qrs complex and elevated t
wave.
Gradual muscular paralysis fallowed by coma---death due to cardiac or
respiratory arrest
86. Metabolic acidosis
A pH under 7.1 is an emergency, due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmias, and may
warrant treatment with intravenous bicarbonate.
Bicarbonate is given at 50-100mmol at a time under scrupulous monitoring of the
arterial blood gas readings.
Dialysis may clear both the intoxication and the acidosis.
87. Metabolic alkalosis
The management of metabolic alkalosis depends primarily on the underlying
etiology and on the patient’s volume status.
In the case of vomiting, administer antiemetics, if possible. If continuous gastric
suction is necessary, gastric acid secretion can be reduced with H2-blockers or
more efficiently with proton-pump inhibitors.
In patients who are on thiazide or loop diuretics, the dose can be reduced or the
drug can be stopped if appropriate. Alternatively, potassium-sparing diuretics or
acetazolamide can be added.
88.
89. Depends on the
1.Preoperative hydration status
2.Length of npo
3.Normal maintenance needs
4.Replacement of “third space” losses (open belly, hot lights, extensive
dissection of tissues)
5.Replacement of blood loss
6. Fluid shift
90. EFFECT OF ANESTHESIA ON FLUID BALANCE
General anesthesia produces vasodilation and some degree of
myocardial contractility (usually overcome by sympathetic drive induced
by the surgical stimulus)
Mechanical ventilation can increase evaporative loss if gases are not
adequately humidified, which is often the case during long Operating
procedures.
Other factors, including increased intrathoracic pressure brought about
by mechanical ventilation, a stress response to surgical stimulus, or the
prone position, may lead to increased ADH production and decreased
urine output.
92. PREOPERATIVE CORRECTIONS
1 ) correction of hypovolemia
2 ) correction of other disorders
CORRECTION OF HYPOVOLEMIA
Causes : vomiting , blood loss, nasogastric suction, fever,
hyperventilation, diuretic therapy, etc
Problems : ↓ o₂ carrying capacity, ↑ed risk of tissue hypoxia &
development of organ failure , risk of severe hypotension.
93. INTRAOPERATIVE FLUID MANAGEMENT
Roughly calculated as-
Correction of fluid deficit due to starvation +
Maintenece required for period of surgery +
Loss due to tissue dissection or haemorrhage
94. CORRECTION OF FLUID DEFICIT
•Volume to be replaced =
duration of starvation ( hrs) * 2ml/kg body weight
•Usually corrected by –
• 5% dextrose
•Half of calculated dose in 1st hr followed by remaining half over next 2
hrs
95. MAINTENCE VOLUME
calculated as –
duration of surgery ( hrs) *2 ml/kg body weight or
rate of infusion = 2ml/kg /hr
INTRAOPERATIVE FLUID LOSS
fluid loss d/t tissue dissection & haemorrhage in different types of
surgeries :
Type Fluid volume (ml/kg/hr)
Least trauma nil
Minimal trauma 4
Moderate trauma 6
Severe trauma 10
96. Least trauma :
Hypotonic maintence fluid, dextrose , 2ml/kg/hr
Minimal trauma :
Tonsillectomy, nasal septal repair,plastic surgery
6 ml/kg/hr; balanced salt solution for period of surgery
Moderate trauma
procedures of extermities etc
8 ml/kg/hr of ringer’s lactate or isotonic saline
Severe trauma
Radical neck dissection etc
12 ml/kg/hr ringer’s lactate or isotonic saline
97. CAUSES OF HYPOVOLEMIA IN POST OPERATIVE PATIENTS
Inadequate correction of starvation
Inadequate maintenance in intra operative period
Intra operative blood loss & fluid loss
Excessive loss due to hyperventilation, hypermetabolism & pyraxia
Lengthy operation
Environmental factors - summer
98. ROUTINE POST OPERATIVE IV FLUID FOR FIRST THREE DAYS
First 24 hrs – 2 liters 5% dextrose
or 1.5 lit 5% dextrose + 500 isotonic saline
Second post op day - 2 liters 5% dextrose + 1lit 0.9 % saline
Third post op day – similar fluid + 40 – 60 mEq potassium/day
may require modifications depending upon clinical situations
Editor's Notes
he pump, while binding ATP, binds 3 intracellular Na+ ions.[1]
ATP is hydrolyzed, leading to phosphorylation of the pump at a highly conserved aspartate residue and subsequent release of ADP.
A conformational change in the pump exposes the Na+ ions to the outside. The phosphorylated form of the pump has a low affinity for Na+ ions, so they are released.
The pump binds 2 extracellular K+ ions. This causes the dephosphorylation of the pump, reverting it to its previous conformational state, transporting the K+ ions into the cell.
The unphosphorylated form of the pump has a higher affinity for Na+ ions than K+ ions, so the two bound K+ ions are released. ATP binds, and the process starts again.
Changes in body weight should be recorded accurately and repeatedly on a day to day basis….
Weight loss > 300 to 500gms per day indicate dehydration secondary to decreased fluid intake and / or increased water losses.
Isotonic soln – same salt conc as surrounding
hypotonic
hypertonic

Paracentesis is a form of body fluid sampling procedure, generally referring to peritoneocentesis (also called laparocentesis - "cent" means "pierce") in which the peritoneal cavity is punctured by a needle to sample peritoneal fluid.
pericardiocentesis is a procedure where fluid is aspirated from the pericardium (the sac enveloping the heart).
When fluid is infused with routine iv set these methods calculate the rate of infusion quickly with reasonable accuracy.
The method consists of
Rule of ten and
Rule of four
For routine IV set 15 drops = 1ml
4/2/1 Rule
4mL/kg for the first 10 kg2mL/kg for the next 10 kg1mL/kg for every kg over 20
Maintenance of fluids for 24 hours :
100/50/20 rule100mL/kg for the first 10 kg50mL/kg for the next 10 kg20mL/kg for every kg over 20(divide for 24 for hourly rate)
Stupor is the lack of critical cognitive function and level of consciousness wherein a sufferer is almost entirely unresponsive and only responds to base stimuli

is a condition that occurs when the body produces too much acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. If unchecked, metabolic acidosis leads to acidemia, i.e., blood pH is low (less than 7.35) due toincreased production of hydrogen ions by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney. Its causes are diverse, and its consequences can be serious, including coma and death. Together with respiratory acidosis, it is one of the two general causes of acidemia.
is a metabolic condition in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range ( 7.35-7.45 ). This is the result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration, leading to increased bicarbonate, or alternatively a direct result of increasedbicarbonate concentrations.
Goal should be
BP (>100/70mm of hg)
Pulse (<120 per min)
Urine output (30-50ml/hour)
With normal temperature, respiration & warm skin
The third space is space in the body where fluid does not normally collect in larger amounts,[5][6] or where any significant fluid collection is physiologically nonfunctional.[7] Major examples of third spaces include the peritoneal cavity and pleural cavity. Still, small amount of fluid does exist normally in such spaces, and function for example as lubricant in the case of pleural fluid. Also, the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract is often classified as belonging to the third space,
Water will move from one chamber into the next passively across a semi permeable membrane until the hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients balance each other. Many medical conditions can cause fluid shifts. Fluid shifts may be compensated by fluid replacement or diuretics.
