Book excerpt: The World Health Organization has updated its 1988 publication on the partograph by addressing the findings of a multicenter trial conducted during 1990-91. The second part of the updated publication, "Preventing Prolonged Labour: A Practical Guide--The Partograph, Part II: User's Manual," provides guidelines on the use of the partograph in the management of labor. It focuses on the practical aspects of using the partograph as a managerial tool in labor and does not address theoretical aspects. The partograph helps identify early women in slow labor and prevent and manage any resultant complications. It should be used only for women who have no pregnancy complications that require immediate action and who have actually started labor. The partograph allows health workers to plot the progress of labor (i.e., cervical dilatation, descent of the fetal head, and uterine contractions), the fetal condition (i.e., fetal heart rate, membranes and amniotic fluid, and molding of the fetal skull), and the maternal condition (i.e., pulse, blood pressure, temperature, urine [volume, protein, acetone], drugs and IV fluids, and oxytocin regime). The manual addresses what needs to be done in the case of abnormal progress of labor which incorporates prolonged latent phase (>8 hours) and prolonged active phase. It then moves on to discussing management of labor by focusing on normal latent and active phases, between alert and action lines, at or beyond active phase action line, prolonged latent phase, and further discussion on oxytocin, membranes, and fetal distress. The manual provides two exercises and answers to test knowledge on correct partograph use. Annex I is an aid cutout to be reproduced in plywood to help health workers accurately measure cervical dilatation.

Book excerpt: The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its 1988 publication about the partograph by addressing the findings of a multicenter trial conducted in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Part I of the updated publication, Preventing Prolonged Labour: A Practical Guide--The Partograph, covers the history and the principles of the partograph, various issues associated with the guide's format, and how the WHO partograph was developed. It also briefly discusses the rationale for the partograph and its use. Only health workers with adequate training in midwifery should use the partograph. They need to be able to observe and conduct normal labor and delivery, perform vaginal examinations in labor and assess cervical dilatation accurately, and plot cervical dilatation accurately on a graph against time. The partograph can be used by trained workers at home, in health centers, or in hospitals. The components of the partograph include the progress of labor, the fetal condition, and the maternal condition. Before the partograph can be introduced, a training program in its use and appropriate supervision and follow-up are essential. The volume concludes by presenting a strategy to promote wide use of the partograph.

Programme Santé Maternelle et Maternité sans Risque and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its 1988 publication on the partograph by addressing the findings of a multicenter trial conducted during 1990-91. The fourth part of the updated publication, "Preventing Prolonged Labour: A Practical Guide--The Partograph, Part IV: Guidelines for Operations Research," provides guidelines on how to introduce the partograph and evaluate its impact on labor management and outcome. Operations research (OR) focuses on the practical application of the knowledge of partographs gained worldwide to date. WHO recommends that health centers wanting to conduct OR on the partograph have at least 500 deliveries per year but 1000 deliveries will achieve more meaningful results. Part IV lists the four OR protocol objectives as regards to the partograph and hypotheses behind OR protocol. The OR methodology consists of several phases: collection of data prior to introduction of the partograph, introduction of the partograph by means of a training program, evaluation of training, collection of data after introduction of the partograph, and data analysis. OR should state whether or not health workers can be trained in correct use of the partograph, partograph reduces prolonged labor and maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and referrals of women in labor based on abnormal partograph are appropriate. The annexes include sample data collection forms and sample results tables for OR on the use of the partograph.

Download or read book Counselling for Maternal and Newborn Health Care written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2010 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this practical Handbookis to strengthen counselling and communication skills of skilled attendants (SAs) and other health providers, helping them to effectively discuss with women, families and communities the key issues surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, postnatal and post-abortion care. Counselling for Maternal and Newborn Health Careis divided into three main sections. Part 1 is an introduction which describes the aims and objectives and the general layout of the Handbook. Part 2 describes the counselling process and outlines the six key steps to effective counselling. It explores the counselling context and factors that influence this context including the socio-economic, gender, and cultural environment. A series of guiding principles is introduced and specific counselling skills are outlined. Part 3 focuses on different maternal and newborn health topics, including general care in the home during pregnancy; birth and emergency planning; danger signs in pregnancy; post-abortion care; support during labor; postnatal care of the mother and newborn; family planning counselling; breastfeeding; women with HIV/AIDS; death and bereavement; women and violence; linking with the community. Each Session contains specific aims and objectives, clearly outlining the skills that will be developed and corresponding learning outcomes. Practical activities have been designed to encourage reflection, provoke discussions, build skills and ensure the local relevance of information. There is a review at the end of each session to ensure the SAs have understood the key points before they progress to subsequent sessions.
Download or read book WHO Recommendations for Prevention and Treatment of Maternal Peripartum Infections written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the present guideline is to consolidate guidance for effective interventions that are needed to reduce the global burden of maternal infections and its complications around the time of childbirth. This forms part of WHO's efforts towards improving the quality of care for leading causes of maternal death especially those clustered around the time of childbirth in the post-MDG era. Specifically it presents evidence-based recommendations on interventions for preventing and treating genital tract infections during labour childbirth or puerperium with the aim of improving outcomes for both mothers and newborns. The primary audience for this guideline is health professionals who are responsible for developing national and local health protocols and policies as well as managers of maternal and child health programmes and policy-makers in all settings. The guideline will also be useful to those directly providing care to pregnant women including obstetricians midwives nurses and general practitioners. The information in this guideline will be useful for developing job aids and tools for both pre- and inservice training of health workers to enhance their delivery of care to prevent and treat maternal peripartum infections.
