Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt -
What can you do to help?
Educate parents on proper feeding practices, hygiene, and vaccine schedules to prevent relapse before sending the child home. 7. Understanding Refeeding Syndrome
Let's work together to end the silent suffering of Protein Energy Malnutrition!
Unlike Kwashiorkor, these patients are usually ravenous. Skin: Loose and thin, hanging in folds. 🛠️ Management and Treatment Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt
Children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries.
: An adaptive response to total starvation where the body consumes fat and muscle for survival. Kwashiorkor (Protein Deficiency) Appearance : Distinguishable by (fluid retention), which may mask actual weight loss. Clinical Signs
Reflects chronic malnutrition and long-term growth retardation. What can you do to help
: A maladaptive response to protein deficiency despite adequate or near-adequate calorie intake. Etiology and Risk Factors
Do use standard IV fluids unless the child is in shock. Use ReSoMal (Rehydration Solution for Malnutrition) orally or via nasogastric tube slowly. 4. Correct Electrolyte Imbalance
Transition occurs once appetite returns and edema resolves. F-100 provides 100 kcal/100 ml. Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a peanut-butter-based paste, allows for home-based outpatient management. Avoiding Refeeding Syndrome Understanding Refeeding Syndrome Let's work together to end
The most vulnerable period is during the first 1,000 days of life—from conception to a child’s second birthday—due to rapid growth velocity and high metabolic demands.
The World Health Organization uses standard deviations (Z-scores) relative to an international reference population:
glucose or sucrose solution immediately. Feed the child every 2 hours, day and night. 2. Treat/Prevent Hypothermia
Less than 60% of expected weight (includes all edematous cases regardless of weight). Waterlow Classification Distinguishes between acute and chronic malnutrition: Wasting (Acute Malnutrition): Weight-for-height . It indicates recent severe weight loss. Stunting (Chronic Malnutrition): Height-for-age . It indicates long-term, skeletal growth retardation. 4. Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations
