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.

2. Are drugs administered before
an anesthetic with various
objectives so
as to obtain a smoother induction,
maintenance,and emergence from
anesthesia.
Ensures comfort to the patient & to
minimize adverse effects of
anaesthesia
What is preanaesthetic
medication…???
3. Preanaesthetic medication
objectives…
Relief of anxiety and apprehension
Amnesia for pre- & intra-operative
events
Potentiate action of anaesthetics, so
less dose is needed
Antiemetic effect extending to post-
operative period
Decrease secretions
Decrease vagal stimulation caused by
anaesthetics
8. Psychological…???
As patient is going for operation, he is
apprehensive even before they come to the
hospital for admission.
As an anaesthetist we have to schedule a
preoperative visit to the patient
Explain the procedure to the patient in a
simple language and not in a complicated
manner
Explain to them what to expect during the
procedure
9.
10. In some countries to address this issue,
“SATURDAY CLUBS” has been formed.
It includes a lot of strategies like puppet show,
play oriented preoperative teaching,
videotapes showing operating rooms which
relieves child’s anxiety and produce a
smoother induction.
11. Drugs used for preanesthetic
medication
Relief of anxiety and apprehension with sedation &
postoperative amnesia
BENZODIAZEPINES:-Midazolam, Diazepam,
Lorazepam,Alprazolam,Nitrazepam
Neuroleptics like Haloperidol, Droperidol
OPIOIDS
12. BENZODIAZEPINES
Is a sedative-hypnotic
Reduces anxiety, provides amnesia and is
also a sedative & hasz centrally acting MR
property
13. BENZODIAZEPINES
MIDAZOLAM(iv)
DIAZEPAM(oral)
LORAZEPAM
REMIMAZOLAM
ALPRAZOLAM
DIAZEPAM
NITRAZEPAM
All are good premedicants. Is the treatment of choice to reduce
anxiety
Chief difference is in the duration of action
Those who regularly take BZD will be resistant to premedication of
these drugs
Midaz is the most preferred
provide no analgesia
ANXIOLYSIS+SEDATION+AMNESIA(anterograde)+VAGOLYSIS+
REDUCTION OF PONV+MUSCLE RELAXATION
15. Midazolam
A short acting water soluble BZD
Most frequently used BZD for premed
Routes of administration
oral,iv/im/intranasally
• Dose:determined by a lot of factors such as
age, level of anxiety and surgical procedure
which is planned 0.25mg/kg(7.5to 15mg
orally)
• SIDE EFFECTS::Respiratory depression
16. LORA as a premedicant…???
When prolonged and intense anxiolysis is
required as in cardiac surgery we use 2-
4mg of LORAZEPAM administered
ORALLY 2hours before anaesthesia
17. NITRAZEPAM
A long-acting benzodiazepine
mean elimination half-life 26 hours
Residual "hangover" effects after nighttime
administration of nitrazepam such as sleepiness,
impaired psychomotor and cognitive functions may
persist into the next day
Dose is 5-10mg
21. USES in premed
These drugs are given to counteract the
effects caused by vagal stimulation like
bradycardia
To reduce salivary & bronchial secretions
To prevent gastrointestinal hypermotility esp
when neostigmine is used
24. WHAT EFFECT DO
ANTICHOLINERGICS HAVE ON THE
VARIOUS BODY SYSTEMS???
Atropine::: crosses BBB & causes CAS
Hyoscine:::CNS depressant+sedation
Glyco:::No effect
25. WHAT EFFECT DO
ANTICHOLINERGICS HAVE
ON THE VARIOUS BODY
SYSTEMS???
Atropine & Hyoscine::: Cycloplegia & Mydriasis
Glyco:::No effect
Antisialagogue actions
Atropine=hyoscine<glyco
26. WHAT EFFECT DO
ANTICHOLINERGICS HAVE ON
THE VARIOUS BODY
SYSTEMS???
Tachycardia
Atropine>glyco>hyoscine
Reverse order for propensity to generate arrythmia
Bronchodilatation
Atropine+glyco>hyoscine
Reduces salivation
Volume of gastric secrn
Antispasmodic
Reduced tone & peristalsis
27.
28. ATROPINE vs
GLYCOPYRROLATE An ester alkaloid, tertiary
structure
• iv DOSE:::0.01-0.02mg/kg
Vagolytic(2-3mg)
Onset of action 1min
Lasts for 3hours
Effect on HR++++
Inhibn of sweating+++
Effects on CNS:::CACS
Quarternary ammonium
compound with
anticholinergic ppty
0.005-0.01mg/kg
1min
6hours
++
++body temp not affected
No effects
29.
30. Glycopyrrolate has a selective peripheral action,
acts rapidly,longer acting,potent antisecretory
agent, prevents vagal bradycardia
effectively….hence preferred
BUT…
Atropine is preferred for prophylaxis and treatment
of vagal mediated bradycardia
31. In modern anaesthesiology,
anticholinergics are not used routinely
as premed. There are specific
indications like… esp when ketamine
is used/ when airway handling is
anticipated
32. In children, there is high vagal tone
and airway manipulation causes reflex
brady. So atropine is preferred
33. Antiemetic effect extending to
post-operative period
Metoclopramide
Domperidone
Ondansetron,Granisetron
PROMETHAZINE
40. Metoclopramide
Dose:::5-10mg orally or 0.2-0.5mg/kg
iv
in children 0.1mg/kg orally(syp
5/5)
S/E:::diarrhoea, abdominal cramps,
movement disorders like NMS
41. ONDANSETRON
5HT3 ANTAGONIST
Blocks afferent pathway as well as
central processing of emetogenic
impulses
• Dose:::0.06mg/kg iv
0.1mg/kg oral rptd 4-6 hourly
Side effect::: headache,elevated LFT
Most effective when administered at
end of surgery in case of ponv
46. PROMETHAZINE
strong sedative + antiemetic property
is utilised
Often administered with
pethidine(meperidine) “BALANCED
ANAESTHESIA”
S/E:::Tardive dyskinesia, constipation,
dry mouth,etc
Dose:::25mg oral/iv
47.
48. Drugs reducing acid secretion thereby
reducing the risk of aspiration
Ranitidine (150-300mg oral) or Famotidine
(20-40mg oral) given night before & in
morning along with Metoclopramide reduces
risk of gastric regurgitation & aspiration
pneumonia
Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole
(20mg) with Domperidone (10mg) is
preferred nowadays
50. Sodium citrate
Is a nonparticulate antacid
Given 15-30 mins before induction raises
gastric pH to >2.5. But the disadvantage is
that it increases volume of gastric juice
If aspirated they produce less severe hypoxia
& lung abnormalities than others
Barash 6E
52. Dexmedetomidine
is an alpha 2 receptor agonist
With Sedative+analgesic+hypnotic+anxiolytic+
sympatholytic effects
• So used as a premedicant @ iv doses of 0.33-0.67mcg/kg
15minutes before procedure
Dexmedetomidine, when used prior to anaesthesia, blunts sympathetic
response to surgery & stress
does not depress ventilation &
reduces anaesthetic as well as opioid requirement
57. Opioid analgesics
Morphine (8-12mg i.m.) or Pethidine (50-
100mg i.m.) used one hour before surgery
Provide sedation, pre-& post-operative
analgesia, reduction in anaesthetic dose
Fentanyl (50-100μg i.m. or i.v.) preferred
nowadays (just before induction of
anaesthesia)
58.
59. Premedication in special
situations..??
Premedication in paediatrics
Need for premed is individualised. Depends on many factors:-underlying
medical disorder, length of surgery, desired induction agent, anaesthetist
preference,etc
Not necessary for infants less than 6 months appear relatively undisturbed
when separated from their mothers.
m/c used premed is oral midaz 0.25-0.33mg/kg
For those children who refuse oral premed is given im ketamine(2-
4mg/kg)+atropine(0.02mg/kg)+midaz(0.05mg/kg)
Oral Transmucosal Fentanyl Citrate(OTFC) may also be given. Pruritis,
desaturation,PONV are S/E
Anticholinergics are not routinely administered im to children
60. TRICLOFOS(Pedicloryl)
Is a sedative drug
Used especially in paediatrics
Is a chloral derivative(1gm triclofos=660mgchloral
hydrate)
Is metabolised in our body to trichloroethanol, which is
the pharmacologically active form
Dose::75-100mg/kg
