Neonatal and Pediatric intestinal obstruction

Vomiting in children is common and mostly related to medical condition. However there are surgical conditions associated with vomiting, which needs to be acknowledged and diagnosed early. Bilious vomiting is an ominous symptom and needs to be taken seriously. Any baby who vomits bile should be considered as having an underlying intestinal obstruction until proved otherwise.

  • Recognize the difference between vomiting due to medical and that related to surgical pathology
  • Discuss  the different causes of surgical vomiting
  •  Review the impact of  bilious vomiting and its significance

Multimedia virtual program could help nurses learn about neonatal pain management

Image
Babies younger than four weeks old, called neonates, were once thought not to perceive pain due to not-yet-fully-developed sensory systems, but modern research says otherwise, according to researchers , Not only do babies experience pain, but the various levels can be standardized to help nurses recognize and respond to the babies' cues — if the nurses have the opportunity to learn the scoring tools and skills needed to react appropriately. With tight schedules and limited in-person courses available, the researcher’s theorized, virtual e-learning may be able to provide a path forward for nurses to independently pursue training in this area. To test this hypothesis, researchers conducted a pilot study of 115 nurses with varying levels of formal training and years of experience in seven hospitals across Japan. They published their results on May 27 in Advances in Neonatal Care . The researchers developed a comprehensive multimedia virtual program on neonatal pain management, bas...

Telemedicine and E-health

Image
Telemedicine & E-health offer necessary tools for home health care, remote case monitoring, complaint operation, and advances in technology for medical centres, interpreters, and hospitals not only for pastoral health and battleground care, but also for nursing home, supported living installations, maritime and aeronautics settings. E-health includes the use of the other electronic media or an internet. Telemedicine is the use of advanced telecommunication and information technologies in order to give clinical health care at a distance. It helps to exclude distance walls and can ameliorate access to medical services that would frequently not be constantly available in distant pastoral communities. It's also used to save lives in critical care and exigency situations.
