    The document discusses wound healing and vitamin K administration for newborns.

    QUERIES TO SEMINAR :

    ORAL WOUND HEALING


    A clinician may
    intentionally allow
    a wound to heal by
    secondary
    intention to
    prevent infection
    in wounds in
    which there is
    significant
    bacterial
    contamination,
    foreign bodies, or
    extensive tissue
    trauma. By leaving
    the wound open,
    there is less chance
    that bacterial
    colonization will
    occur (i.e., the risk
    of wound infection
    is reduced).
    Tertiary Intention
    When a wound is intentionally kept open
    to allow edema or infection to resolve or to
    permit removal of exudate, the wound
    heals by tertiary intention, or delayed
    primary intention. These wounds result in
    more scarring than wounds that heal by
    primary intention but less than wounds
    that heal by secondary
    intention. (Johnstone, Farley,& Hendry,
    2005)
    Vit k to new born

    If you choose vitamin K by
    mouth, your baby must
    have three doses:
    Dose 1 at birth
    Dose 2 usually three to five
    days later, and
    Dose 3 in the fourth week, if the
    baby is fully
    breast fed. (Babies fed mainly by
    formula do not need the third
    dose)
    If your baby vomits within one
    hour of swallowing the
    vitamin K, the baby will need to
    have another dose.
    Can all babies have vitamin K?
    All babies need to have vitamin K. Very
    small
    or premature babies may need smaller
    doses
    your doctor can advise you about this.
    Vitamin K by mouth is not suitable for
    some babies:
    Babies who are premature or sick should
    be given the vitamin by injection. There are
    two main reasons for this: the very small
    dose
    needed is difficult to measure by mouth,
    and
    these babies are also more likely to have
    feeding difficulties.
    If you choose vitamin K by mouth but
    your
    baby is unwell when a dose is due, the
    baby
    may need to have the injection instead.
    If, while you were pregnant, you took
    medication for epilepsy, blood clots
    or tuberculosis, you should tell your doctor
    or midwife. Your baby may not be able
    to absorb vitamin K by mouth, and may
    need the injection instead.
    How is vitamin K given?
    The easiest and most reliable way to give
    babies
    vitamin K is by injection. One injection just
    after birth
    will protect a baby for many months.

    Vitamin K can also be given by mouth.
    Several
    oral doses are essential to give enough
    protection,
    because vitamin K is not absorbed as well
    when
    it is given by mouth and the effect does not
    last
    as long.
    Vitamin K helps blood to clot. It is essential to
    prevent serious bleeding.
    Babies do not get enough vitamin K from their
    mothers during pregnancy, or when they are breast
    feeding. Without vitamin K, they are at risk of getting
    a rare disorder called Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding,
    or VKDB. VKDB can cause bleeding into the brain,
    and may result in brain damage or even death.
    VKDB can be prevented by giving new babies
    extra vitamin K. By the age of about six months,
    they have built up their own supply.
