Maternal morbidity and mortality
Maternal mortality and morbidity are serious issues globally. Maternal mortality is defined as the death of a woman during pregnancy or within 42 days of termination from any cause related to the pregnancy. Maternal deaths are classified as direct, indirect, or fortuitous. Direct deaths result from obstetric complications while indirect deaths result from pre-existing or pregnancy-aggravated conditions. Major causes of maternal mortality include obstetric complications like hemorrhage and infections as well as social factors like poverty, illiteracy, and lack of access to medical care. Preventive measures include antenatal care, treatment of medical conditions, institutional deliveries, and promotion of family planning. Nurses play an important role in providing anten
Introduction to-midwifery-obstetrical-nursing
This document provides an introduction to midwifery and obstetrical nursing. It discusses the history and evolution of midwifery in India, from traditional dais (midwives) assisting with home births, to the establishment of formal midwifery training programs and certifications like Auxiliary Nurse Midwives. Today in India, there are several cadres of midwives including registered nurses with midwifery training, ANMs, and skilled birth attendants. The future of midwifery in India involves improving access to care and achieving safe motherhood.
High risk pregnancy
This document discusses identifying and managing high-risk pregnancies. It defines a high-risk pregnancy as one with maternal complications or obstetric risk factors that could threaten the life of the mother or baby. Conducting risk assessments during antenatal care allows early detection of issues and timely referral for specialized care. Key aspects of managing high-risk pregnancies include monitoring for common risks like hypertension and bleeding, providing nutrition education, immunizations and medical treatment, and planning for facility-based deliveries with skilled birth attendants. The goal is to recognize complications early to reduce emergencies and improve outcomes for both mother and infant.
Manual removal of placenta
This document describes the procedure for manual removal of the placenta (MRP). MRP is performed when the placenta fails to deliver within 30 minutes of childbirth. It involves inserting fingers into the uterus to locate and detach the placenta from the uterine wall while supporting the fundus. Once detached, the placenta is withdrawn from the uterus while continuing to provide counter-traction. Oxytocin is administered to encourage uterine contraction and prevent hemorrhage. The placenta is examined for completeness and the uterus is checked for contraction to ensure the procedure was successful. Potential complications include shock, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, and inversion or hysterectomy.
Labor room setting
Most of the rules about working conditions are governed by state laws, but the federal government also has a set of standards. The Federal Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, sets the minimum standards for state wage and hour laws.
Placenta examination
A placenta examination is performed after delivery to ensure the entire placenta and membranes have been expelled. It checks that the placenta is of normal size, shape, consistency and weight, and detects any abnormalities. The examination also evaluates the umbilical cord length and number of blood vessels. Key tools used include a bowl, weighing scale, and measuring tape. The placenta develops during pregnancy to support fetal growth and development through respiratory, alimentary, excretory and other vital functions.
Forceps delivery
This document discusses forceps delivery, which is an assisted birth using obstetric forceps to extract the fetal head when the mother is unable to deliver the baby on her own. It describes the different types of forceps used based on how far the baby's head has descended in the birth canal, including high, mid, low, rotational, and outlet forceps. The indications for a forceps delivery include maternal conditions like exhaustion or fetal distress. Criteria that must be met first include a fully dilated cervix. Complications can be maternal like vaginal lacerations or postpartum hemorrhage, or fetal like bruising, hemorrhage, or asphyxia.
trends and issues in obstetrical nursing
This document discusses trends in midwifery and obstetrical nursing. It begins by defining midwifery and obstetrics. It then outlines several trends, including economic issues like rising costs of childcare; technological advances in fertility treatments and testing; demographic shifts to urban areas; changes in healthcare settings like managed care and shorter hospital stays. It also discusses trends toward patient involvement and self-care. Current problems discussed are shorter hospital stays, higher patient acuity, lack of rural facilities, and changes to maternal-newborn nursing models.
Prolonged labour
Prolonged labor is the inability of a woman to proceed with childbirth upon going into labor. Prolonged labor typically lasts over 20 hours for first time mothers, and over 14 hours for women that have already had children.
Infrtlty ppt
1. Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive within one year of regular unprotected intercourse or six months if the woman is over 35.
2. Common causes of infertility include problems with ovulation, blocked fallopian tubes, age, previous tubal ligation, endometriosis, low sperm count, blocked sperm passage, or sperm that do not function properly.
3. Treatment options for women include fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation, while options for men include treatments for impotence, infections, or too few sperm. Assisted reproductive technologies include intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, zygote intrafallopian transfer, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
Fourth stage of labor
Fourth stage of labor: The hour or two after delivery when the tone of the uterus is reestablished as the uterus contracts again, expelling any remaining contents. These contractions are hastened by breastfeeding, which stimulates production of the hormone oxytocin.
Placenta at term for nursing students
The human placenta is a discoid, haemochorial organ that develops during pregnancy to connect the developing fetus to the uterine wall for nutrient/waste exchange. At term, the placenta is a circular disc about 15-20cm in diameter and 2.5cm thick that weighs around 500g. It has both a fetal side covered by amnion/umbilical cord and a rough, spongy maternal side with lobes. The placenta facilitates gas/nutrient exchange between maternal and fetal blood supplied by the umbilical cord and establishes a connection between the mother and developing fetus.
Antenatal assessment
Antenatal assessment involves a systematic evaluation of a pregnant woman to monitor her health and the health of the fetus. It includes a comprehensive history, physical and pelvic examinations, lab tests, and procedures like ultrasound and amniocentesis. The assessment identifies risk factors, monitors fetal growth and well-being, and educates the woman. Regular antenatal visits provide ongoing monitoring throughout the stages of pregnancy.
Scope of midwife
A registered midwife is someone who has completed an approved midwifery education program, is registered to practice midwifery, and maintains competency. The scope of midwifery practice includes providing care during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, as well as family planning advice and newborn care. Midwifery practice is underpinned by values of empowering women and respecting their decisions, and sees birth as a normal process where midwives are the primary caregivers. An individual midwife's scope may change based on their experience and training, practice guidelines, and the needs of the woman and baby.
Legal and ethical aspects in obg 0109
National, state, and institutional standards and policies provide the legal and ethical framework that governs midwifery practice. Midwives must be licensed by the state where they practice and follow both national standards of practice and policies of the institutions where they work. Professional negligence and malpractice issues can arise if a midwife breaches her duty of care or causes injury through improper care. The ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice guide midwives in providing care and making decisions. Preparing for parenthood involves addressing lifestyle, health, financial, and psychological factors before conception to help ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Non stress test
The non-stress test (NST) is a common prenatal test used to evaluate fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. The test involves continuous electronic monitoring of the fetal heart rate and movements using ultrasound or other sensors. It is a non-invasive test performed when the fetus is over 28 weeks of gestation. During the 20-40 minute test, accelerations in the fetal heart rate in response to movement are evaluated to determine if the fetus is reactive and healthy or non-reactive, which may require further evaluation. The test helps assess fetal oxygen levels and growth without placing stress on the fetus.
4th stage of labor m.sc 1st year
The document discusses the fourth stage of labor, which begins after delivery of the placenta and ends when the mother's system has stabilized, usually 1-4 hours later. It describes the maternal assessment during this stage, including evaluation of pain, the uterus, inspection of the placenta and repairs if needed. Potential complications are also discussed as well as neonatal observations like Apgar scoring and vital signs measurements of the newborn.
First Stage of Labour and Midwifery Care
Normal labor occurs spontaneously at term with the fetus presenting head first. It progresses through three stages: cervical dilation, birth of the fetus, and delivery of the placenta. The first stage consists of latent, active, and transitional phases defined by cervical dilation rates. Monitoring labor using a partogram allows for early detection of abnormalities like prolonged dilation or stalled progress. Midwifery care focuses on comfort, monitoring, and addressing any complications to achieve a healthy delivery.
Mannual removal of placenta
The placenta is said to be retained when it is not expelled from the uterus even 30 minutes after the delivery of the baby
Manual placenta removal is a procedure to remove a retained placenta from the uterus after childbirth.

Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively. There are three main types: dilated cardiomyopathy causes the heart chambers to enlarge; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy results in abnormal thickening of the heart muscle; and restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs when heart muscle is replaced with scar tissue causing stiffness. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart failure. Treatment involves medications, surgically implanted devices, and possibly heart transplant for severe cases.
Infective endocarditis
Infective endocarditis is a microbial infection of the heart valves or intracardiac devices. It can be caused by various bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Risk factors include structural heart disease, intravenous drug use, and invasive procedures. Common symptoms are fever, chills, weight loss, and new heart murmurs. Diagnosis involves blood cultures and the modified Duke criteria. Treatment involves antibiotics over extended periods along with surgery for severe cases or device removal.
The heart
The document summarizes the structure and function of the heart. It describes the heart's location in the thoracic cavity. It details the four chambers of the heart - the right and left atria receive blood while the right and left ventricles pump blood. Arteries and veins involved in the pulmonary and systemic circulation are also outlined. The document explains the roles of the valves in controlling blood flow and the conduction system in generating electrical signals that coordinate heart contractions.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. It is often associated with increased pressure inside the eye. The most common type is open-angle glaucoma, which has no pain and gradual vision loss. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss and blindness. Treatment aims to prevent further vision loss and damage to the optic nerve through lowering eye pressure with eye drops or surgery. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide.
Research data collection methods and tools
This document discusses various methods for collecting research data, including primary and secondary sources. It describes different types of self-report methods like interviews, questionnaires, and scales. Interviews can be structured, unstructured, or semi-structured. Questionnaires contain different types of questions in various formats. Scales discussed include Likert scales, semantic differential scales, and visual analog scales. The document provides advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Appendicitis
This document discusses appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix. The appendix is a small pouch connected to the colon on the right side of the abdomen. Symptoms of appendicitis include pain in the lower right abdomen that gets worse over time, nausea, vomiting, fever, and inability to pass gas. Diagnostic tests for appendicitis include physical exams like pressing on the abdomen to reproduce the pain. Treatment options are antibiotics for uncomplicated cases or an appendectomy to surgically remove the appendix for more severe cases. Complications can include peritonitis and sepsis if not treated.
Teaching mi
The document discusses myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked due to a buildup of cholesterol, white blood cells, and fat in one of the coronary arteries. It causes symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and potentially death. The document outlines the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic measures, management including pharmacological and surgical options, complications, prevention, and nursing care for a patient experiencing an MI.
Breast self examination
This document provides instructions for how to perform a breast self-examination in 5 steps. The steps are: 1) Look at breasts in mirror with arms on hips; 2) Raise arms and look again for changes; 3) Check for fluid coming from nipples; 4) Feel breasts using light pressure with finger pads while lying down, covering entire breast area in circular motions; 5) Feel breasts in standing or sitting position, with wet skin for better feel. The goal is to check for changes in size, shape, color or texture that could indicate abnormalities requiring medical attention.
Hearing aids
Hearing aids are electronic devices that amplify sound for people with hearing loss. They consist of a microphone that picks up sounds and converts them to electronic signals, an amplifier that increases the power of the signals, and a receiver that delivers the amplified sounds into the ear. There are different types of hearing aids including behind-the-ear, on-the-ear, in-the-ear canal, and bone-anchored options. Nurses play a role in helping patients understand how to use and care for their hearing aids.
Distance education
This document discusses nursing distance education. It begins by asking if distance learning can effectively teach nursing students the clinical and social skills needed for the profession. It then defines distance education as imparting instruction to students who are not physically present. The document notes that distance education increases access to nursing programs for students who cannot attend traditional courses due to geographic, family or work constraints. It also discusses standards and best practices for ensuring quality in distance nursing programs. In conclusion, it recognizes both advantages such as flexible scheduling and disadvantages such as potential difficulties gaining clinical skills through distance learning alone.

Likhila simulations
This document defines simulations as computerized models that represent real or imagined systems in order to teach how those systems work. Simulations create environments resembling real life to allow students to practice and gain experience without risk. There are different types of simulations including exercises, games, and role playing. Simulations are used in nursing education and can involve simple models, standardized patients, computer-based clinical scenarios, high-tech procedural equipment, and virtual reality. Teachers plan, facilitate, and debrief simulations. Advantages include combining theory and practice, active participation, safety, evaluation, and motivation. Disadvantages include not all subjects can use simulations, complexity for young learners, reduced seriousness, expense, and time consumption.
colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer forms in the colon or rectum when cells begin to grow out of control. It is caused by genetic mutations and can be affected by risk factors like diet, lifestyle, and family history. The cancer is staged based on how far it has spread from the original tumor site. Treatment involves surgery to remove the cancerous tissue, as well as chemotherapy and radiation. For some patients, a colostomy may be required, where the colon is diverted through an opening in the abdomen to a pouch. Ongoing care focuses on managing the stoma and any complications from treatment.
Gullian barre syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute polyneuropathic disorder that causes muscle weakness, loss of reflexes, and numbness in the limbs and face. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nervous system. The symptoms can range from mild tingling to total paralysis. The disorder is usually triggered by a bacterial or viral infection. Treatment focuses on speeding recovery through measures like plasmapheresis, IVIG, respiratory therapy, and monitoring for complications like respiratory failure or paralysis. Nurses help manage symptoms, provide education, and address problems with mobility, swallowing, and sensation that arise due to the disease process.

A comparative study on uroculturome antimicrobial susceptibility in apparentl...
The uroculturome indicates the profile of culturable microbes inhabiting the urinary tract, and it is often required to do a urine culture to find an effective antimicrobial to treat UTIs. This study targeted to understand the profile of culturable pathogens in the urine of apparently healthy (128) and humans with clinical UTIs (161). In urine samples from UTI cases, microbial counts were 1.2×104 ± 6.02×103 colony-forming units (cfu)/ mL, while in urine samples from apparently healthy humans, the average count was 3.33± 1.34×103 cfu/ mL. In eight samples (six from UTI cases and two from apparently healthy people) of urine, Candida (C. albicans 3, C. catenulata 1, C. krusei 1, C. tropicalis 1, C. parapsiplosis 1, C. gulliermondii 1) and Rhizopus species (1) were detected. Candida krusei was detected only in a single urine sample from a healthy person and C. albicans was detected both in urine of healthy and clinical UTI cases. Fungal strains were always detected with one or more types of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria were more commonly (OR, 1.98; CI99, 1.01-3.87) detected in urine samples of apparently healthy humans, and Gram -ve bacteria (OR, 2.74; CI99, 1.44-5.23) in urines of UTI cases. From urine samples of 161 UTI cases, a total of 90 different types of microbes were detected and, 73 samples had only a single type of bacteria. In contrast, 49, 29, 3, 4, 1, and 2 samples had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 types of bacteria, respectively. The most common bacteria detected in urine of UTI cases was Escherichia coli detected in 52 samples, in 20 cases as the single type of bacteria, other 34 types of bacteria were detected in pure form in 53 cases. From 128 urine samples of apparently healthy people, 88 types of microbes were detected either singly or in association with others, from 64 urine samples only a single type of bacteria was detected while 34, 13, 3, 11, 2 and 1 samples yielded 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and seven types of microbes, respectively. In the urine of apparently healthy humans too, E. coli was the most common bacteria, detected in pure culture from 10 samples followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (9), S. intermedius (5), and S. aureus (5), and similar types of bacteria also dominated in cases of mixed occurrence, E. coli was detected in 26, S. aureus in 22 and S. haemolyticus in 19 urine samples, respectively. Gram +ve bacteria isolated from urine samples' irrespective of health status were more often (p, <0.01) resistant than Gram -ve bacteria to ajowan oil, holy basil oil, cinnamaldehyde, and cinnamon oil, but more susceptible to sandalwood oil (p, <0.01). However, for antibiotics, Gram +ve were more often susceptible than Gram -ve bacteria to cephalosporins, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin. The study concludes that to understand the role of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract microbiome more targeted studies are needed to discern the isolates at the pathotype level.

Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML)
JMML is a rare cancer of blood that affects young children. There is a sustained abnormal and excessive production of myeloid progenitors and monocytes.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DESIGN- RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Randomized controlled clinical trial is a prospective experimental study.
It essentially involves comparing the outcomes in two groups of patients treated with a test treatment and a control treatment, both groups are followed over the same period of time. Prepare a plan of study or protocol
a. Define clear objectives
b. State the inclusion and exclusion criteria of case
c. Determine the sample size, place and period of study
d. Design of trial (single blind, double blind and triple blind method)
2. Define study population: Most often the patients are chosen from hospital or from the community. For example, for a study for comparison of home and sanatorium treatment, open cases of tuberculosis may be chosen.
3. Selection of participants by defined criteria as per plan:
Selection of participants should be done with precision and should be precisely stated in writing so that it can be replicated by others. For example, out of open cases of tuberculosis those who fulfill criteria for inclusion may be selected (age groups, severity of disease and treatment taken or not, etc.)
Randomization ensures that participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups:
One group gets the most widely accepted treatment (standard treatment/ gold standard)
The other gets the new treatment being tested, which researchers hope and have reason to believe will be better than the standard treatment
Subject variation: First, there may be bias on the part of the participants, who may subjectively feel better or report improvement if they knew they were receiving a new form of treatment.
Observer bias: The investigator measuring the outcome of a therapeutic trial may be influenced if he knows beforehand the particular procedure or therapy to which the patient has been subjected.
Evaluation bias: There may be bias in evaluation - that is, the investigator(Analyzer) may subconsciously give a favorable report of the outcome of the trial.
Co-intervention:
participants use other therapy or change behavior
Study staff, medical providers, family or friends treat participants differently.
Biased outcome ascertainment:
participants may report symptoms or outcomes differently or physicians
Investigators may elicit symptoms or outcomes differently
A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment.
Allocation concealment prevents researchers from influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.
All clinical trials must be approved by Institutional Ethics Committee before initiation
It is mandatory to register clinical trials with Clinical Trials Registry of India
Informed consent from all study participants is mandatory.
A preclinical trial is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility and drug safety data are collected.

Ventilation Perfusion Ratio, Physiological dead space and physiological shunt
In this insightful lecture, Dr. Faiza, an esteemed Assistant Professor of Physiology, delves into the essential concept of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙), which is fundamental to understanding pulmonary physiology. Dr. Faiza brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS in Physiology, and multiple postgraduate degrees in public health and healthcare education.
The lecture begins by laying the groundwork with basic concepts, explaining the definitions of ventilation (V˙) and perfusion (Q˙), and highlighting the significance of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙). Dr. Faiza explains the normal value of this ratio and its critical role in ensuring efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
Next, the discussion moves to the impact of different V˙/Q˙ ratios on alveolar gas concentrations. Participants will learn how a normal, zero, or infinite V˙/Q˙ ratio affects the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Dr. Faiza provides a detailed comparison of alveolar gas concentrations in these varying scenarios, offering a clear understanding of the physiological changes that occur.
The lecture also covers the concepts of physiological shunt and dead space. Dr. Faiza defines physiological shunt and explains its causes and effects on gas exchange, distinguishing it from anatomical dead space. She also discusses physiological dead space in detail, including how it is calculated using the Bohr equation. The components and significance of the Bohr equation are thoroughly explained, and practical examples of its application are provided.
Further, the lecture examines the variations in V˙/Q˙ ratios in different regions of the lung and under different conditions, such as lying versus supine and resting versus exercise. Dr. Faiza analyzes how these variations affect pulmonary function and discusses the abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios seen in chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and their clinical implications.
Finally, Dr. Faiza explores the clinical implications of abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios. She identifies clinical conditions associated with these abnormalities, such as COPD and emphysema, and discusses the physiological and clinical consequences on respiratory function. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for medical professionals and students, highlighting their relevance in diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions.
This comprehensive lecture provides valuable insights for medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in respiratory physiology. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how ventilation and perfusion work together to optimize gas exchange in the lungs and how deviations from the norm can lead to significant clinical issues.
Mainstreaming #CleanLanguage in healthcare.pptx
In healthcare, every day, millions of conversations fail. They fail to cover what’s really important, fail to resolve key issues, miss the point and lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.
Clean Language is one approach that can improve things. It’s a set of precise questions – and a way of asking them – which help us all get clear on what matters, what we’d like to have happen, and what’s needed.
Around 1000 people working in healthcare have trained in Clean Language skills over the past 20+ years. People are using what they’ve learnt, in their own spheres, and share anecdotes of significant successes. But the various local initiatives have not scaled, nor connected with each other, and learning has not been widely shared.
This project, which emerged from work done by the NHS England South-West End-Of-Life Network, with help from the Q Community and especially Hesham Abdalla, aims to fix that.
