Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by non-caseating granulomas. It most commonly affects the lungs, skin, eyes and lymph nodes. The pathogenesis involves accumulation of inflammatory cells and T lymphocytes forming granulomas that can damage tissues. Diagnosis is based on clinical features, radiological evidence of non-caseating granulomas on biopsy with other causes excluded. Treatment depends on severity and organ involvement but may include corticosteroids.
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME / APSGN IN CHILDREN
This document provides information about Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis (APSGN). It begins by describing the features of acute nephritic syndrome which is characterized by gross hematuria, edema, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. It then discusses the pathology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of APSGN. APSGN is caused by a previous streptococcal infection and results in immune complex deposition in the glomeruli. It presents abruptly with hematuria, edema, hypertension, and sometimes renal insufficiency. Treatment focuses on supporting kidney function and controlling blood pressure while the patient recovers over 6-8 weeks. Prognosis is generally good with complete recovery in over 95
Goodpasture syndrome
Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by the presence of auto-antibodies against the basement membrane of the lungs and kidneys, which causes inflammatory destruction. It was first described in 1919 and can involve either or both the kidneys and lungs. The antibodies specifically target the non-collagenous domains of the alpha-3 chain of collagen type 4, initiating inflammation in the basement membranes of the kidneys and lungs. Treatment involves plasmapheresis, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs like cyclophosphamide to remove the antibodies from circulation.
disseminated TB
A 45-year-old male presented with a 2-month history of dry cough and 1-week history of shortness of breath. He was diagnosed with disseminated tuberculosis involving the lungs and massive pericardial effusion. He was started on anti-tuberculosis medications and steroids. He developed lower limb deep vein thrombosis and was started on anticoagulation. He underwent pericardial drainage and window procedure. His treatment plan includes continuing anti-TB medications, increasing warfarin dose, and educating the patient about medication adherence and side effect monitoring.
Approach to child with generalized body swelling
Edema is characterized by swelling caused by excess fluid in the interstitial tissue. It can be localized or generalized. Common causes include cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease which decrease plasma oncotic pressure allowing fluid shift from vessels into tissue. A thorough history, physical exam, and lab tests are needed to determine the underlying cause and guide treatment such as diuretics, dietary changes, or treating the primary disease.
ANCA vasculitis
This document provides information on ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV). It discusses the classification, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of AAV. Key points include: AAV includes GPA, MPA, RLV and EGPA which are associated with ANCA antibodies; clinical manifestations can include ENT, lung, kidney, and skin involvement; diagnosis involves labs like ANCA testing and biopsies; and treatment involves immunosuppressive drugs like cyclophosphamide and rituximab for induction of remission.
Chronic liver disease
The document discusses chronic liver disease and the progression from fibrosis to cirrhosis. It explains that cirrhosis is defined as the development of regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrous bands in response to chronic liver injury. The key causes of cirrhosis mentioned include viral hepatitis, alcohol, autoimmune conditions, and genetic disorders.

Approach to a child with edema
This document discusses edema in children, including the pathophysiology, causes, evaluation, and management. It notes that edema results from an accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space and can be caused by increased hydrostatic pressure, decreased oncotic pressure, or increased capillary permeability. Common causes in children include nephrotic syndrome, heart failure, acute glomerulonephritis, renal failure, cirrhosis, and protein-energy malnutrition. The evaluation involves history, physical exam, urine analysis, and labs tailored to suspected etiology. Management focuses on sodium and fluid restriction, diuretics, and intravenous albumin as needed.
Clinical Approach to Paraplegia
This document provides guidance on evaluating patients presenting with paraplegia. It outlines the key components of the clinical history and neurological examination needed to determine the cause and level of spinal cord injury. The history should ascertain details of onset and any associated symptoms. The exam focuses on assessing sensory and motor function at different dermatomal and myotomal levels to localize the lesion. Together this information can indicate if the injury is acute, subacute, or chronic, and identify potential etiologies like trauma, infection, inflammation, compression, or vascular causes. The goal is to arrive at a diagnosis and localization of injury within the spinal cord or vertebrae.

Acute liver failure
Acute liver failure can result from massive hepatocyte necrosis or severe impairment. It is defined by liver injury of less than 8 weeks, no chronic liver disease, and coagulopathy. Causes in children include viral infections, autoimmune disease, metabolic disorders, drugs, and unknown origins. Symptoms range from jaundice and coagulopathy to hepatic encephalopathy. Management involves supportive care, treating the underlying cause, and consideration of liver transplantation for severe cases. Prognosis depends on the cause and stage of encephalopathy, with survival rates varying from over 90% for acetaminophen overdose to less than 15% for subacute cases.
Approach to nephrotic syndrome
This document discusses the approach to nephrotic syndrome. It describes the case of a 15-year old male patient presenting with swelling of the face and limbs and decreased urine output. Examinations and investigations revealed nephrotic syndrome. A renal biopsy showed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The document then discusses nephrotic syndrome including definitions, classifications of primary and secondary causes, diagnostic workup including renal biopsy, complications of renal biopsy, and treatment approach.
Primary pulmonary hypertension
This document discusses pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), including its definition, classification, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, natural history, diagnosis, and management. PAH is defined as a sustained elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure over 25 mm Hg at rest or 30 mm Hg with exercise, caused by various genetic and environmental factors. It is classified into 5 groups by the WHO based on underlying mechanisms. Common symptoms include dyspnea and fatigue. Treatment includes anticoagulants, vasodilators like prostacyclins, endothelin receptor blockers, PDE-5 inhibitors, and in severe cases, lung transplantation.
Approach to anemia and jaundice

Henoch Schonlein Purpura
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis that commonly affects children. It is characterized by palpable purpura, arthritis or arthralgias, abdominal pain, and renal involvement. HSP is likely an immune-complex mediated disease caused by infections, drugs, or other antigens. It typically resolves on its own within 1-6 weeks but can occasionally lead to long-term kidney damage. Treatment involves symptom management, though steroids have not been proven effective.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease characterized by hemolytic anemia, low platelet count, and kidney failure. It predominantly affects children and can be caused by infections from E. coli or pneumococcal bacteria or complement factor abnormalities. The typical pathophysiology involves Shiga toxin or other bacterial toxins damaging endothelial cells and platelets. Treatment involves supportive care, antibiotics for infections, plasma therapy for complement abnormalities, and long-term prognosis depends on severity and treatment.

Inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) in children
The document summarizes key information about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children, including:
1) IBD comprises ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, which have distinct but overlapping characteristics. The peak incidence is in adolescents and young adults between 15-30 years of age.
2) Diagnosis involves clinical suspicion based on symptoms, exclusion of other illnesses, differentiation of UC vs Crohn's based on endoscopy and imaging, and identification of extraintestinal manifestations. Laboratory tests like fecal calprotectin can help distinguish IBD from non-inflammatory diarrhea.
3) Treatment depends on disease severity and location, ranging from 5-ASA for mild disease to immunosuppressants, bi
Mixed connective tissue disorder
This document discusses mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), including its definition, key diagnostic criteria, common symptoms and organ involvement, treatment approaches, and prognosis. MCTD is characterized by features of lupus, scleroderma, and polymyositis combined with high levels of anti-U1 RNP antibodies. Common symptoms include Raynaud's phenomenon, joint and muscle issues, lung and heart involvement. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medications like NSAIDs, corticosteroids, calcium channel blockers, and pulmonary hypertension drugs. Overall mortality is lower than lupus, but progressive pulmonary hypertension can be a major cause of death.
Stroke in children and young adult
The document discusses stroke in children and young adults. It covers the epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, evaluation, and management. Some key points include:
- Incidence of stroke is higher in young adults (ages 18-49) compared to children. Hemorrhagic strokes are more common in children while ischemic strokes are more common in young adults.
- Common causes of hemorrhagic stroke in children include vascular malformations, aneurysms, and hematological disorders. Common causes of ischemic stroke include arteriopathy, cardiac issues, infections, and migraines.
- Evaluation of stroke in young patients involves neuroimaging such as CT/MRI, as well as lab tests, cardiac/vascular
Lights criteria pleural diseases
The Light criteria from 1972 remains a useful tool for differentiating transudative and exudative pleural effusions. While it accurately classifies most exudates, it falsely classifies around 25% of transudates as exudates, likely due to more powerful diuretic use now. If the Light criteria suggest an exudate but transudate is suspected, measuring the serum-pleural fluid protein gradient, NT-proBNP levels, or albumin gradient can help identify misclassified transudates. The Light criteria provide a good starting point but may require supplementation for accurate classification in some cases.

Chronic diarrhea in children
This document discusses chronic diarrhea in children, including definitions, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. It defines chronic diarrhea as diarrhea lasting 2-3 weeks or more. Common causes in infants include post-infectious lactase deficiency, celiac disease, cow's milk allergy, toddler's diarrhea, and infections like giardiasis. Diagnosis involves taking a thorough history and physical exam, with investigations tailored to the child's age and suspected causes, such as stool exams and tests for carbohydrate malabsorption.
Approach to anemia swati
The document discusses the approach to evaluating and diagnosing anemia. It defines anemia as a reduction in hemoglobin or red blood cell volume below normal levels. The evaluation involves taking a thorough history including symptoms, medications, travel, diet and reviewing systems. The physical exam focuses on pallor, jaundice, organomegaly and bruising. Initial testing classifies anemia as macrocytic, microcytic or normocytic. Further evaluation and testing is guided by these classifications to identify potential causes such as nutritional deficiencies, bleeding disorders, infections, liver or bone marrow diseases.
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP)
This document discusses Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), a systemic vasculitic syndrome seen primarily in children. It was first described in 1801 in a 5-year old boy presenting with hematuria, abdominal pain, joint pains and skin rash. HSP is characterized by immunoglobulin A deposition which can cause palpable purpura rashes, arthralgia, abdominal pain, and potentially serious renal involvement in 21-54% of cases. Diagnosis involves laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound, and skin or renal biopsy. Treatment is usually supportive with NSAIDs, glucocorticoids in severe cases, and disease-modifying agents for gastrointestinal and renal complications.
Glomerulonephritis in children
Glomerulonephritis refers to kidney diseases that involve inflammation of the glomeruli. There are two main clinical manifestations - the nephritic syndrome characterized by hematuria, edema, hypertension, and reduced kidney function; and the nephrotic syndrome defined by heavy proteinuria, edema, low serum albumin, and hyperlipidemia. Causes include post-infectious glomerulonephritis, IgA disease, and Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Management involves treating symptoms, monitoring fluid balance and output, and administering steroids or immunosuppressants depending on the underlying disease. Complications can arise if the syndromes are not properly managed.
Haematuria
Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be caused by diseases of the urinary system or other systemic disorders. It is classified as microscopic or gross based on visibility, and as early, terminal, or diffuse based on timing during urination. Common causes include glomerular diseases, infections, cancers, trauma, and stones. Diagnosis involves urinalysis, microscopy, imaging, and sometimes kidney biopsy. Treatment focuses on the underlying condition causing the hematuria. Prognosis depends on associated clinical or laboratory abnormalities, with isolated microscopic hematuria generally having a good prognosis.
Hypercalciuria
This document reviews literature on hypercalciuria, which is defined as excessive calcium in the urine. It discusses the various causes of hypercalciuria including absorptive, renal leak, and resorptive types. Dietary factors like calcium, protein, sodium, alcohol and caffeine intake can also impact hypercalciuria. Treatment involves confirming the diagnosis, ruling out other conditions, trialing dietary modifications, and potentially using medications like thiazide diuretics, phosphates, or bisphosphonates. Care must be taken with treatment to monitor urine and blood levels and address other risk factors for kidney stones.

Approach to patient with hypo/hyper calcaemia
This document discusses calcium homeostasis and disorders of calcium metabolism. It begins by describing the functions of calcium in the body and where calcium is stored. It then discusses calcium regulation by parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and calcitonin. Causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment approaches for hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia are reviewed. The key points are that calcium levels are tightly controlled by hormones to maintain levels between 2.25-2.62 mmol/L and that disorders can result from excess or deficiencies of these regulating hormones.
What are kidney stones
Kidney stones form when normally dissolved substances in the urine become highly concentrated and solidify. There are several types of kidney stones including calcium, uric acid, cystine, and struvite stones, which are made of different minerals and chemicals. Symptoms of kidney stones include cramping pain, nausea, vomiting, blood in the urine, and difficulty or urgency urinating. Treatment options for kidney stones include medications to relieve pain or alter urine chemistry, lithotripsy to break up large stones with sound waves, and surgical procedures for removing stones.
Urolithiasis
This document provides an overview of urinary lithiasis (kidney stone disease) including its epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, and classification. Some key points:
- Kidney stone disease prevalence has been increasing globally due to westernization and is most common in middle-aged adults.
- Stones form when urine becomes supersaturated, allowing crystals to nucleate and grow. Inhibitors normally prevent this but may be insufficient in stone formers.
- Calcium stones are most common and result from hypercalciuria in many cases. Other stone types include uric acid, struvite, and cystine stones.
- Multiple dietary, medical, and genetic factors influence stone risk by affecting urine
Urinary lithiasis 6
This document summarizes urinary lithiasis (kidney stones). It discusses the epidemiology, physicochemistry, and classification of stones. Key points include that stone prevalence is highest in white males aged 40-60 and in hot, dry climates. Stones form when the concentration product of stone-forming salts in urine exceeds the solubility product, allowing crystallization. Randall's plaques act as nucleation sites for stone formation in the kidney. The document also outlines various metabolic abnormalities that can cause different stone compositions, like hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, and hypocitraturia.
Hypercalcemia
Hypercalcemia was causing the patient's acute renal failure. Treatment for hypercalcemia included intravenous fluids, furosemide, steroids, bisphosphonates, and dialysis which lowered the calcium levels and improved renal function. The underlying cause of hypercalcemia could not be determined after extensive testing, but was likely a malignancy given the persistent pancytopenia. Hypercalcemia can directly damage the kidneys by decreasing medullary osmolality and inducing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, nephrolithiasis, and renal tubular acidosis. It also causes vasoconstriction and activation of the calcium-sensing receptor which stimulates renin release and worsens volume
Haematuria 2013
This document provides guidelines on evaluating and managing haematuria (blood in the urine). It defines visible and non-visible haematuria and notes that any single episode of visible haematuria or symptomatic non-visible haematuria should warrant further investigation. It recommends initial tests to check for urinary tract infection, kidney function and protein levels. Patients under 40 with visible haematuria and respiratory infection may warrant nephrology referral. Urology referral is recommended for visible haematuria of any age and non-visible haematuria over age 40. The document notes that past studies found cancers like transitional cell carcinoma in around 10% of haematuria cases, so prompt evaluation is important.
Acute kidney injury in children
This document provides an overview of acute kidney injury (AKI) including renal anatomy and physiology, epidemiology, definitions, diagnosis, biomarkers, and treatment. It discusses the kidney's role in fluid, electrolyte and waste regulation. AKI is common, affecting 5-30% of hospitalized or ICU patients. New definitions classify AKI severity into Risk, Injury and Failure stages based on creatinine and urine output. Causes include pre-renal, intrinsic renal and post-renal factors. Treatment focuses on fluid management, electrolyte control, nutrition and preventing complications through dialysis if needed. Biomarkers show promise in early AKI detection but management primarily relies on supportive care as no targeted therapies exist
Hematuria
1. The document provides guidance on evaluating a patient presenting with red or brown colored urine (hematuria). An initial workup includes a urine analysis and microscopy to determine the source and characteristics of the red blood cells.
2. Further evaluation depends on whether the hematuria is glomerular or extraglomerular in origin, which can be suggested by factors like RBC morphology and presence of proteinuria. Potential causes include infections, stones, tumors, and glomerular diseases.
3. If hematuria persists after initial workup, referral to nephrology or urology may be warranted for cystoscopy, imaging tests, or renal biopsy to identify the underlying cause. Thorough history and physical
Acute renal failure in children
This document provides an overview of acute renal failure in children. It defines acute renal failure, discusses causes (pre-renal, intrinsic renal, post-renal), pathogenesis, laboratory findings, biomarkers, management including fluid resuscitation, diuretics, electrolyte abnormalities, nutrition, and indications for dialysis. Management is aimed at treating the underlying cause and maintaining fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance until renal function recovers.

Acute renal failure in children
1) Acute renal failure in children is defined as a sudden deterioration in renal function resulting in the inability to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. It can be caused by pre-renal, intrinsic renal, or post-renal factors.
2) Common causes include dehydration, infection, nephrotoxins, and obstructive uropathy. Presenting symptoms include decreased urine output, edema, and mental changes.
3) Treatment involves fluid resuscitation, restricting intake of fluids/proteins/electrolytes, and treating complications like hyperkalemia. Dialysis may be needed to correct fluid/electrolyte imbalances or uremia. Prognosis depends
Acute Kidney Injury in Children
This document presents a seminar on acute kidney injury (AKI) in children. It defines AKI and describes the RIFLE and AKIN criteria for classifying it. Common causes of pediatric AKI include pre-renal issues like dehydration, intrinsic renal problems like acute tubular necrosis, and post-renal obstruction. Clinical features depend on the etiology. Management involves treating life-threatening complications, fluid/electrolyte balance, nutrition support, and addressing the underlying disorder. Outcomes vary according to cause but have improved with advanced care; prevention emphasizes hydration and avoiding nephrotoxins.
Hematuria
Hematuria is defined as the presence of blood or red blood cells in the urine. It can be macroscopic (visible to the naked eye) or microscopic. Common causes include urinary tract infections, kidney diseases, cancers, and stones. A urinalysis and urine culture can help identify infection, while imaging tests like ultrasound, CT, and cystoscopy can locate any abnormalities in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. Further blood tests may also indicate underlying conditions. Hematuria is investigated through examination of urine and imaging of the urinary tract to diagnose the cause.
Acute Kidney Injury
This document discusses acute kidney injury (AKI). It begins with the anatomy and function of the kidney, explaining that the nephron is the functional unit that produces urine. It then discusses definitions of AKI and acute renal failure (ARF), noting they are not synonymous, with AKI encompassing a spectrum of injury. Common causes of AKI are also summarized, including decreased renal perfusion, intrinsic renal disease, and urinary tract obstruction. Stages of AKI severity are described using the RIFLE criteria of Risk, Injury and Failure. Incidence of AKI in intensive care unit patients is estimated between 5-20% with high mortality.
Kidney histology
This document provides an overview of the normal histology of the kidney. It describes the anatomy and histological features of the major structures of the kidney, including the cortex, medulla, renal corpuscle, nephron (glomerulus, proximal and distal tubules, loop of Henle), collecting duct system, and juxtaglomerular apparatus. Key cellular components such as podocytes, mesangial cells, and intercalated cells are also discussed. The functions of the kidney in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance and producing hormones are briefly introduced.
Congenital anomalies ppt
This document provides an overview of common congenital anomalies of the genitourinary system. It discusses abnormalities of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and genitals.

Acute renal failure
Acute renal failure is a sudden reduction in kidney function that results in waste accumulating in the blood. It can be caused by problems affecting blood flow to the kidneys like dehydration, blood loss from major surgery or burns, or kidney problems preventing proper filtration. Symptoms include reduced urination, swelling, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Treatment focuses on fluid balance, electrolytes, nutrition, and preventing complications like infection that can further stress the kidneys.

Renal diseases 2.ppt
This document provides an overview of common renal disorders, including acute renal failure (ARF), chronic renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, nephrolithiasis, and renal tubular acidosis. ARF is characterized by a rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate and is divided into prerenal, intrinsic renal, and postrenal types. Chronic renal failure is usually caused by diabetes or glomerulonephritis and results in metabolic abnormalities and uremic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome involves proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia due to increased glomerular permeability. Nephrolithiasis is caused by supersaturation of urine leading to stone formation,
Renal Failure.ppt
This patient is at high risk for prerenal acute kidney injury secondary to dehydration from her diarrhea. Key things to assess:
- Volume status and hydration status
- Urine output
- Serum creatinine and BUN (to monitor for worsening renal function)
- Stool studies to check for C. difficile (given the nursing home outbreaks)
- Electrolytes to monitor for abnormalities like hypokalemia
- Consider IV fluids for rehydration if volume depleted
The goals of treatment would be rehydration, treatment of any infection if present, and monitoring for worsening kidney function which may require renal replacement therapy like dialysis. Addressing the underlying cause of the diarrhea

Hyponatremia and hypernatremia
This document discusses sodium regulation and hyponatremia. It outlines that sodium is the main extracellular cation and helps regulate blood pressure and volume. The kidneys aim to balance sodium intake and excretion. Hormones like renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone increase sodium reabsorption while ANP increases excretion. Hyponatremia is defined as a sodium level below 135 mmol/L and can be hypovolemic, euvolemic, or hypervolemic depending on volume status. Evaluation involves assessing volume status, electrolytes, osmolality and urine studies to determine the underlying cause.
A C U T E R E N A L F A I L U R E
Acute renal failure (ARF) is the sudden loss of kidney function, causing a build up of waste products in the blood. It can be oliguric or non-oliguric depending on urine output. ARF has three main causes - prerenal from low blood flow, intrinsic kidney damage, or postrenal from urinary obstruction. Management involves fluid management, electrolyte control, antibiotics for infection, and possibly dialysis. Nurses monitor patients closely and prevent complications through infection control and skin care.
acute and chronic renal failure
Acute renal failure and chronic renal failure are discussed. Acute renal failure can be prerenal, renal, or postrenal and is characterized by a sudden reduction in urine output. Chronic renal failure is a permanent loss of kidney function that progresses to end stage renal disease. It has multiple etiologies including glomerular diseases. Both present with electrolyte imbalances, fluid retention, and other complications. Treatment focuses on fluid management, diet modification, and dialysis or transplantation as needed.

2. Acute renal failure in children results in impaired waste excretion, water and electrolyte dysregulation, and loss of acid-base control over hours to days.
3. Causes include prerenal issues like dehydration, decreased blood pressure, or intrinsic renal problems such as glomerulonephritis, tubular injury, or nephrotoxins; evaluation involves lab tests, imaging, and assessing response to fluid resuscitation.
Acute Kidney Injury.pptx
This document provides information on acute kidney injury (AKI), including its definition, causes, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic studies, complications, collaborative care, nursing diagnoses, and nursing management. AKI is characterized by a sudden loss of kidney function, ranging from minor impairment to complete kidney failure. It can be caused by decreased blood flow to the kidneys, direct damage to the kidneys, or obstruction of urine flow. The main goals in treatment are managing fluid balance and electrolyte abnormalities through medication, diet, and potentially dialysis.
renal problem in newborn
Renal disorders in newborns can be congenital or acquired. They are detected prenatally in about 1% of fetuses by ultrasound and in newborns by physical exam or autopsy in less than 1% and 7-9% respectively. Early diagnosis is important to prevent complications. Prenatal diagnosis is usually by ultrasound detecting signs of obstruction. Clinical manifestations vary by type and severity of abnormality and can include dysmorphic features, abdominal masses, ascites, failure to palpate kidneys, and hypertension. Acute renal failure is defined as a creatinine over 1.5 mg/dL and can be functional, intrinsic, or obstructive in nature. Causes include inadequate perfusion,

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.
