  • Medical Ethics and Law (Questions and Answers) Prof. Mahmoud

    Medical Ethics and Law (Questions and Answers) Prof. Mahmoud

    EXAM QUESTIONS & ANSWERS LEGAL MEDICINE & MEDICAL ETHICs Prepared & Selected by Prof. Mahmoud Khraishi 1. You are a resident in the emergency department. An irate parent comes to you furious because the social worker has been asking him about striking his child. The child is a 5-year-old boy who has been in the emergency department four times this year with several episodes of trauma that did not seem related. Today, the child is brought in with a child complaint of “slipping into a hot bathtub” with a bum wound on his legs. The parent threatens to sue you and says “How dare you think that about me? I love my son!” What should you do? a. Admit the child to remove him from the possibly dangerous environment. b. Call the police. c. Ask the father yourself if there has been any abuse. d. Explain to the parents that the next time this happens you will have to call child protective services. e. Report the family to child protective services. Answer: (e) Report the family to child protective services. Comment: Although, in general, it is better to address issues directly with patients and their families, this is not the case when you strongly suspect child abuse. Reporting of child abuse is mandatory even based on suspicion alone. Although it is frightening to be confrontational with the family, the caregiver is legally protected even if there turns out to be no abuse as long as the report was made honestly and without malice. You do not have the authority to remove the child from the custody of the parents.

    Conference Proceedings (containing abstracts submitted for presentation at the postponed International Forum New Delhi July 2020) Conference Headline Sponsor New Delhi 2020 postponed until 2021, dates to be confirmed internationalforum.bmj.com/new-delhi @QualityForum #Quality2020 #Quality2021 One of the aims of the International Forum is to showcase improvement work from real and diverse healthcare settings to allow our attendees to learn and take away practical ideas that they can implement in their own organisation. This Conference Proceedings contains work submitted to us via our Call for Posters for the International Forum originally scheduled to take place in New Delhi, India, in July 2020. Due to the spread of COVID-19 around the world, including in South Asia, this International Forum is now postponed until 2021, dates to be confirmed. A big focus of the now postponed conference is to increase the awareness of the improvement work that is happening in the region. One of the key ways we do this is via the poster displays and abstract presentations available during the International Forum. We look forward to hosting these in 2021 and in the meantime we are pleased to bring to your attention a selection of projects submitted for presentation at the postponed July conference. Thank you to all those who have shared their work and have made it available in this digital format. We hope you enjoy this selection of abstracts and will join the International Forum improvement community to share your experiences, challenges, improvement successes and failures at our future events.

  • Very Low Birth Weight Infants

    Very Low Birth Weight Infants

    Intensive Care Nursery House Staff Manual Very Low and Extremely Low Birthweight Infants INTRODUCTION and DEFINITIONS: Low birth weight infants are those born weighing less than 2500 g. These are further subdivided into: •Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW): Birth weight <1,500 g •Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW): Birth weight <1,000 g Obstetrical history (LMP, sonographic dating), newborn physical examination, and examination for maturational age (Ballard or Dubowitz) are critical data to differentiate premature LBW from more mature growth-retarded LBW infants. Survival statistics for ELBW infants correlate with gestational age. Morbidity statistics for growth-retarded VLBW infants correlate with the etiology and the severity of the growth-restriction. PREVALENCE: The rate of VLBW babies is increasing, due mainly to the increase in prematurely-born multiple gestations, in part related to assisted reproductive techniques. The distribution of LBW infants is shown in the Table: ________________________________________________________________________ Table. Prevalence by birth weight (BW) of LBW babies. Percentage of Percentage of Births Birth Weight (g) Total Births with BW <2,500 g <2,500 7.6% 100% 2,000-2,500 4.6% 61% 1,500-1,999 1.5% 20% 1,000-1,499 0.7% 9.5% 500-999 0.5% 7.5% <500 0.1% 2.0% ________________________________________________________________________ CAUSES: The primary causes of VLBW are premature birth (born <37 weeks gestation, and often <30 weeks) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), usually due to problems with placenta, maternal health, or to birth defects. Many VLBW babies with IUGR are preterm and thus are both physically small and physiologically immature. RISK FACTORS: Any baby born prematurely is more likely to be very small.

  • Care of Newborn in the Community and at Home

    Care of Newborn in the Community and at Home

    OPEN Journal of Perinatology (2016) 36, S13–S17 www.nature.com/jp REVIEW Care of newborn in the community and at home SB Neogi1, J Sharma1, M Chauhan1, R Khanna2, M Chokshi1, R Srivastava3, PK Prabhakar3, A Khera3, R Kumar3, S Zodpey1 and VK Paul4 India has contributed immensely toward generating evidence on two key domains of newborn care: Home Based Newborn Care (HBNC) and community mobilization. In a model developed in Gadchiroli (Maharashtra) in the 1990s, a package of Interventions delivered by community health workers during home visits led to a marked decline in neonatal deaths. On the basis of this experience, the national HBNC program centered around Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) was introduced in 2011, and is now the main community- level program in newborn health. Earlier in 2004, the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) program was rolled out with inclusion of home visits by Anganwadi Worker as an integral component. IMNCI has been implemented in 505 districts in 27 states and 4 union territories. A mix of Anganwadi Workers, ASHAs, auxiliary nursing midwives (ANMs) was trained. The rapid roll out of IMNCI program resulted in improving quality of newborn care at the ground field. However, since 2012 the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare decided to limit the IMNCI program to ANMs only and leaving the Anganwadi component to the stewardship of the Integrated Child Development Services. ASHAs, the frontline workers for HBNC, receive four rounds of training using two modules. There are a total of over 900 000 ASHAs per link workers in the country, out of which, only 14% have completed the fourth round of training.

India’s Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) is working both to increase immunization coverage and to introduce new vaccines. Here, we analyze the disease and financial burden alleviated across India’s population (by wealth quintile, rural or urban area, and state) through increasing vaccination rates and introducing a rotavirus vaccine. Methods: We use IndiaSim, a simulated agent-based model (ABM) of the Indian population (including socio-economic characteristics and immunization status) and the health system to model three interventions. In the first intervention, a rotavirus vaccine is introduced at the current DPT3 immunization coverage level in India. In the second intervention, coverage of three doses of rotavirus and DPT and one dose of the measles vaccine are increased to 90% randomly across the population.
