Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.9K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

37
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

4.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

3.5K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion01:26

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

375
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Neonatal Mortality

Background:

  • Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5 are off-track globally, despite reductions in maternal and child mortality.
  • Neonatal mortality reductions lag behind post-neonatal rates, and stillbirths remain unchanged.
  • Newborns constitute nearly half of under-five deaths, with approximately 80% preventable through cost-effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the framework and potential impact of the Every Newborn Action Plan.
  • To highlight the critical need for interventions targeting neonatal deaths and stillbirths.
  • To emphasize the importance of stakeholder commitment for achieving global newborn health goals.

Main Methods:

  • The Every Newborn Action Plan provides an evidence-based framework.
  • Focuses on scaling up essential interventions across the continuum of care.
  • Highlights the impact of care at birth and care for small and sick newborns.

Main Results:

  • The Every Newborn Action Plan aims to reduce neonatal deaths and stillbirths to 10 per 1000 births by 2035.
  • Potential to prevent approximately three million newborn, maternal, and stillbirth deaths annually.
  • Care at birth and for small/sick newborns can save two million stillbirths and newborns, offering a triple return on investment.

Conclusions:

  • Achieving ambitious goals for newborn survival requires commitment, investment, and leadership from global and national stakeholders.
  • Scaling up essential interventions, particularly around the time of birth, is crucial for preventing preventable deaths.
  • Healthcare professionals play a vital role in realizing the goals of the Every Newborn Action Plan.
