This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community-based primary care physicians are routinely challenged as they stabilize, evaluate, and care for term and late-preterm neonates. Although there have been many spectacular advances in care of neonates, the challenges and successes of caring for the most preterm, very low birth-weight newborns seem to dominate presentations and the Pediatric literature. This issue concentrates on the current evidence and the collected experience of neonatologists regarding the basics of caring for the vast majority of newborns. The newest recommendations of multiple organizations (including the AAP) are presented, including the rationale for each recommendation as well as controversial issues. The individual articles will provide the primary care provider with a comprehensive foundation for care of the neonate.

Download or read book Healthy Babies written by S. Josephine Baker and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Healthy Babies: A Volume Devoted to the Health of the Expectant Mother and the Care and Welfare of the Child The methods and advice given in this book on care of babies are, first of all, intended to be used in keeping babies well. The book is in no sense intended as a method of treating sick babies, nor should the advice that is given ever take the place of the individual care that can be offered by a doctor. The methods of keeping babies well are simple and easy, but the methods of curing babies after they are sick are difficult and often complicated. It has been proved over and over again that babies can be kept well with very little effort, and that any intelligent mother can learn all that is needful to assure good health in her baby. There are certain minor forms of illness which can be corrected or cured simply by readjustment of the hygiene of the baby's life or perhaps by the use of some simple household remedies, and there is no reason why the mother should not know and apply the proper treatment in cases of this kind, but if actual illness occurs there should be no delay in obtaining the help of a qualified physician. Saving babies has proved to be one of the most interesting and satisfactory types of health work that has ever been carried out in this, or any other country.

Download or read book Survive and Thrive written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We remain firm in our vision of a world freed of that burden, a world in which every mother and newborn will survive and thrive. However, we cannot meet the health-related Sustainable Development Goals - and we cannot achieve universal health coverage or people-centred primary health care - without a strong and growing investment in mothers and newborns. This report focuses on inpatient care for the most vulnerable newborns: the small and sick. The launch of the Every Newborn Action Plan at the Sixty-seventh World Health Assembly in 2014 coincided with a period of great progress. The global neonatal mortality rate declined from 31 deaths per 1000 live births in 2000 to 18 deaths per 1000 live births in 2017. But three years into the era of the SDGs, we are still far from our goal of reducing newborn deaths to 12 per 1000, or less, by 2030. Bending the curve further will require a laser-sharp focus on reorganizing health systems to provide quality care, and continuity of care, for newborns - especially those who are critically ill. To that end, every pregnant woman and every newborn, without exception, must have access to high-quality, affordable services before, during and after the time of birth. Accessible services are especially important for populations that are underserved and marginalized, including those living in humanitarian settings or in conflict. We also need more comprehensive "specialized and intensive" newborn care services - because services that are good enough for healthy newborns might not suffice for those who come into the world unwell. While investments in all of these areas are critical, so is the level of investment. We can avert 747 400 neonatal deaths by 2030 in low- and middle-income countries by investing an additional US$ 0.20 per capita in small and sick newborn care. By providing quality intrapartum care to 95% of all mothers delivering in health facilities, we would, in addition, save many mothers' lives and prevent stillbirths each year. With such results in mind, Survive and thrive: transforming care for every small and sick newborn highlights the need for accurate and reliable data to facilitate planning, to help measure quality, outcomes and impact, and to promote accountability. This report is a much-needed wake-up call for investing in quality inpatient neonatal care and designating facilities for specialized and intensive newborn care. Simultaneous investments are required to ensure adequate and appropriate human resources, supplies, laboratories and data systems for well-functioning, family-centred, inpatient neonatal care. The care provided during hospitalization and follow-up in the community also needs to be developmentally supportive and nurturing. Supporting healthy brain development during early childhood is the best investment a country and society can make in the future generation - and in continued economic growth. We are proud that our respective organizations, along with numerous contributors and partners, are part of the joint effort that has reached these conclusions. Our collaboration has already yielded important results. With this report, we call upon governments, health professionals, parents and other partners to join us in supporting continued investment in health systems that respond to the needs of the most vulnerable. In this way, we can - and we will - achieve the vision of a better world for every mother and newborn.

Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides a full range of updated, evidence-based norms and standards that will enable health care providers to give high quality care during pregnancy, delivery and in the postpartum period, considering the needs of the mother and her newborn baby. All recommendations are for skilled attendants working at the primary level of health care, either at the facility or in the community. They apply to all women attending antenatal care, in delivery, postpartum or post abortion care, or who come for emergency care, and to all newborns at birth and during the first week of life (or later) for routine and emergency care. This guide is a guide for clinical decision-making. It facilitates the collection; analysis, classification and use of relevant information by suggesting key questions, essential observations and/or examinations, and recommending appropriate research-based interventions. It promotes the early detection of complications and the initiation of early and appropriate treatment, including time referral, if necessary. Correct use of this guide should help reduce high maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity rates prevalent in many parts of the developing world, thereby making pregnancy and childbirth safer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By all indicators, the reproductive health of Americans has been deteriorating since 1980. Our nation is troubled by rates of teen pregnancies and newborn deaths that are worse than almost all others in the Western world. Science and Babies is a straightforward presentation of the major reproductive issues we face that suggests answers for the public. The book discusses how the clash of opinions on sex and family planning prevents us from making a national commitment to reproductive health; why people in the United States have fewer contraceptive choices than those in many other countries; what we need to do to improve social and medical services for teens and people living in poverty; how couples should "shop" for a fertility service and make consumer-wise decisions; and what we can expect in the futureâ€"featuring interesting accounts of potential scientific advances.
Download or read book Managing Newborn Problems written by World Health Organization. Reproductive Health and Research and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2003-12-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year throughout the world, about four million babies die before they reach one month old, most during the critical first week of life. Most of these deaths are a result of the poor health and nutritional status of the mother, combined with problems such as tetanus or asphyxia, trauma, low birth weight, or preterm birth. However, many of the conditions which result in perinatal death are preventable or treatable without the need for expensive technology. Against this background, this publication contains guidance on evidence-based standards for high quality care provision during the newborn period, considering the needs of mother and baby. It has been produced to assist countries with limited resources to reduce neonatal mortality. The information is arranged under four main headings: clinical assessment, findings and management; principles of newborn baby care; procedures; record keeping and essential equipment, supplies and drugs.
