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.

FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

2. KIDNEY FUNCTIONS
Excretion waste products such as urea,
Creatinine, uric acid
Maintenance of acid base balance
Maintenance of water and electrolyte
balance
Hormone function – Erythropoietin
Regulation of blood calcium level –
Formation of calcitriol by 1 α – hydroxylase
3. URINE EXAMINATION
A complete physical, chemical and
microscopic examination plays a an
important role in diagnosis of renal
and urinary tract diseases.
4. COLOR
Normal urine - light yellow to amber
Due to the presence of a yellow pigment, urochrome
The more concentrated urine - the deeper the color.
Deviations from normal color - certain drugs (B
comp), vegetables such as carrots, beets, and
rhubarb.
Hematuria and hemoglobinuria- Red
Milky white- Infection, Chyluria
Yellowish green / orange – Bilirubin, bacterial
infection
10. CASTS
Urinary casts - microscopic cylindrical structures
produced by the kidney and present in the urine in
disease states.
Casts first described by Henry Bence Jones
Formed in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting
ducts of nephrons
In urine, detected by microscopy, formed by Tamm–
Horsfall mucoprotein secreted by renal tubule cells, and
also by albumin in proteinuria.
Generally 15-20 squamous epithelial cells/hpf or more
indicates urinary contamination.
Hyaline casts may be seen in healthy subjects.
Other types of casts are suggestive of renal disease.
18. CHYLE IN URINE
Milky or hazy appearance of urine - high phosphate
or huge pus cells.
Phosphates excluded by adding few drops of 5%
acetic acid.
Pyuria -by centrifuging the sample that gives a clear
upper and a hazy lower zone of the fluid and then by
microscopy.
In chluria, fat solvent (ether) almost completely clear
the opacity.
Chylomicrons -visualized under microscope with dark
ground illumination or stained with Sudan III.
Triglycerides estimation- controls no TGL.
19. SEMEN IN URINE
In retrograde ejaculation semen goes
backward into the bladder.
It is not a harmful condition.
The semen mixes with urine and
passes out of the body the next time the
man urinates.
20. PH
Ranges from 4.5 - 8.0.
Average is 6.0, slightly acidic.
Under 5.0 is acidic, higher than 8.0 is
alkaline
Vegetarian diets increase alkalinity.
Bacterial infections also increase alkalinity.
21. ACIDIC URINE
High protein diets increase acidity.
Dehydration
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Diarrhea
starvation
23. SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Specific gravity measures the ability of the kidneys to
concentrate or dilute urine depending on fluid intake.
Normal range 1.005 - 1.030 , average range 1.010 -
1.025.
Low specific gravity is associated with conditions
like diabetes insipidus, excessive water intake,
diuretic use or chronic renal failure.
High specific gravity levels are associated with
diabetes mellitus, adrenal abnormalities or excessive
water loss due to vomiting, diarrhea or kidney
inflammation. A specific gravity that never varies is
indicative of severe renal failure.
27. ABNORMAL CONSTITUENTS
Glucose – Glycosuria
Normally the filtered glucose is reabsorbed by the
renal tubules
Renal threshold for glucose- Blood glucose level
160-180 mg/dl
If blood glucose levels exceeds renal threshold level,
glucose spills over into the urine.
Main cause: diabetes mellitus
Renal glucosuria- reduced renal threshold level
Blood glucose level-normal but urine glucose
positive
28. PROTEIN (ALBUMIN)
Albumin do not pass through glomerulus.
Presence indicates abnormal increased
permeability of the glomerulus membrane.
Non-pathological causes are: pregnancy,
physical exertion, increased protein
consumption.
Pathological causes are: glomerulonephritis ,
bacterial toxins, chemical poisons.
29. URINARY PROTEIN -ALBUMINURIA
Less than 30 mg /24 hrs or 30 mg/gm
Creatinine or 30 µg/mg creatinie is normal.
30 – 300 mg /24 hrs or 30 -300 mg/gm
creatinine or 30-300 µg/mg Creatinine
is microalbuminuria
More than 300 mg / day – frank albuminuria
Healthy albumin to Creatinine ratio:
less than or equal to 3.5 mg/mmol ( 30mg / gm
Creatinine) - Creatinine mol.wt: 113
30. URINARY KETONES
Ketone bodies -acetoacetic acid, beta-
hydroxybutyric acid,
Causes: diabetes mellitus, starvation, ketogenic
diet
drinking excess alcohol
excessive vomiting , pregnancy
illness or infection
heart attack , emotional or physical trauma
medications, such as corticosteroids and
diuretics
31. URINARY KETONES RANGE
Under 0.6 millimoles per liter or 6mg/dl -
Normal
ketone level 0.6 to 1.5 millimoles per liter
or 6-15 mg/dl higher than normal; test again
in 2 to 4 hours
1.6 to 3.0 millimoles per liter or 16- 30 mg/dl
–Moderate
Above 3.0 millimoles per liter or > 30mg/dl -
high
32. BILIRUBIN
Fouchet’s test: This is a simple and sensitive test.
Five ml of fresh urine in a test tube is mxed with 2.5 ml of
10% of barium chloride .A precipitate - barium sulphate-
bilirubin complex forms
Filter and spread the precipitate on a filter paper.
one drop of Fouchet’s reagent is added to the precipitate.
(Fouchet’s reagent consists of 25 grams of trichloroacetic
acid, 10 ml of 10% ferric chloride, and distilled water 100
ml).
Immediate development of blue-green color around the
drop indicates presence of bilirubin .
Causes: liver disorders, cirrhosis, hepatitis, obstruction of
bile duct
33. FOUCHET’S TEST - POSITIVE
Reagent strips or tablets impregnated with diazo
reagent: :Based on reaction of bilirubin with diazo reagent;
Color change is proportional to the concentration of bilirubin.
Tablets (Ictotest) detect 0.05-0.1 mg of bilirubin/dl of urine;
Reagent strip tests are less sensitive (0.5 mg/dl).
34. UROBILINOGEN
Normal – 0.2 mg/dl - 1mg/dl
Less than 0.2 mg/dl - low
More than 1 mg /dl – high
High urobilinogen level
Hemolytic anemias, malaria
False Positive Results - Elevated nitrate in the
urine
High carbohydrate intake
Timing (test is done later in the afternoon)
Drugs that make the urine red, such as
phenazopyridine (Pyridium)
35. Low urobilinogen-- cholestasis - causes
include :
Bile duct blockage (gallstones, cysts, and
tumors)
Liver disease/damage
Pregnancy
Severe infection
Pancreatic cancer
Broad-spectrum antibiotics
False Negative Results
Exposure of urine sample to direct sunlight–
urobilinogen breaks down
36. HEMATURIA- CAUSES
Kidney infections (pyelonephritis).
A bladder or kidney stone.
Enlarged prostate.
Kidney disease. .
Cancer.
Inherited disorders. Sickle cell anemia
Alport syndrome, which affects the filtering membranes in the
glomeruli of the kidneys.
Kidney injury. A blow or other injury to your kidneys from an
accident or contact sports can cause
Medications. drug cyclophosphamide and penicillin , aspirin,
heparin can cause urinary bleeding.
Strenuous exercise. It's rare for strenuous exercise to lead to
gross hematuria,
37. HEMOGLOBINURIA -CAUSES
Acute glomerulonephritis
Burns , Renal cancer , Malaria
Microangiopathies,
Transfusion reactions
IgM autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Pyelonephritis
Sickle cell anemia
Tuberculosis of the urinary tract
March hemoglobinuria secondary to repetitive impacts on the
body, usually the feet
Athletic nephritis secondary to strenuous exercise
Acute lead poisoning
38. DIP-STICK TEST –HEMATURIA
A nondiagnostic screening test.
A positive result is due to oxidation of a test-strip
reagent; it does not confirm that blood cells are
present.
Factors that can cause a positive result on a dipstick
test include hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria,
concentrated urine, menstrual blood in the urine
sample, and rigorous exercise
False-positive results can occur (certain dyes or
drugs, beets, oxalates).
The strip is read in a min. (sensitivity of 100% and a
specificity of 99% in detecting 1-5 RBCs per high-
power field (hpf).
39. DIP-STICK TEST FOR HEMATURIA
Confirm presence of RBCs microscopically.
If the specific gravity of the urine is very low
(< 1.007), microscopy can fail to detect owing
to cell lysis.
Repeat the test after restricting the patient’s
fluid intake
Other investigations should be avoided, and
the dipstick and microscopic urinalysis
should be repeated twice within 2 weeks.
40. LEUKOCYTES AND NITRITES
Normal - 0-5 WBCs per high power field
(wbc/hpf)
High number of leukocytes
may indicate the presence of urinary tract
infection
If the test for leukocyte esterase is positive
but finds no nitrite, an infection may still be
present.
E. coli bacteria are most commonly
associated with nitrites in the urine.
